The villages set around Lake Trasimeno and tucked into the surrounding hills are full of interest and well worth seeing. The lake itself is beautiful; there is a ferry, and there are interesting islands to visit. Inexpensive trattorias and good restaurants abound in the area, and the food generally is just excellent. The main town on the lake, Castiglione del Lago, offers a colourful weekly market, lakeside bars and a couple of well-stocked supermarkets. Further afield but an hour or so away are Citta della Pieve, Chiusi, Deruta, Siena, Spoleto, Todi and Orvieto. Florence and Rome are also reachable in an hour and a half by road, and an hour by train. We are usually on hand and will be happy to help with information and suggestions if needed.
