A DAY TRIP TO MONTEFALCO FROM EL MARSAM

Montefalco, which means, the Falcon’s Mount, is one of the finest hill towns in the area, overlooking the Valley of Spoleto.  It is a maze of tiny, cobbled streets with a rich artistic heritage that includes the incredible fresco cycle by Gozzoli, depicting the life of St. Francis.  Perhaps even better known for its famed Sagrantino, a much prized Umbrian red wine, made from the Sagrantino grape, a variety found nowhere else in Europe.  If it’s textiles that appeal to you, Montefalco produces some of the most beautiful woven textiles in Italy.

In an effort to make the discovery of Umbria and Tuscany more convenient and enjoyable for our guests, we have prepared and provide an up-to-date guest booklet with day trip itineraries from El Marsam.  These pages include directions, restaurant and shopping suggestions, and sights to be seen.
