    So many memories, I stayed a few days in Castiglione del Lago way back in 1979. I even swam in Lago Trasimeno. I'd love to go back!

    I was sad that the second property was abbreviated as it’s exactly the type that I want to see more of! I just love the historical buildings, and the history behind the places is really interesting. Such a great space, loved it! ❤

    I’m lucky enough to be living very close to Castiglione del Lago. I can see it perched on the hill nearly every day. Beautiful. Umbria is underrated as it’s next to Tuscany which is fabulous, of course, but Umbria is for people who want a quieter life. More laidback. Plus, Firenze and Rome are only 90 / 2 hours away by train, if you need some grander cultural input.

  • @DavidDatura
    @DavidDatura 3 месяца назад +1

    The town by the lake is gorgeous. And the first townhouse in the heart of it is very nice indeed, with an unusual internal layout due to that fascinating staircase, and it’s great value for money too.
    The second property in the countryside however, not so great. Much of the inside looks barren and depressing, and despite being mostly renovated apparently, still needs much more work to make it feel homely. Sorry, but I just didn’t like that one.
    But Umbria as a whole, is one of my favorite parts of Italy. Tuscan beauty for a more affordable price, and that more famous (and expensive!) region is right next door anyway 🙂
