General Just below Montefalco, 5 km away, in a richly cultivated valley, was Casa del Cantastorie, sitting contentedly within the rural Umbrian paradise. Timeless, solid, substantial, one wouldnt have known it, but this detached farmhouse was totally refurbished from top to bottom, while still immutably presenting its ample two-floor facade to the lusciously green and gold-coloured farmland all around, hard as it is to believe however, this is not a fairy-tale and Casa del Cantastorie is in fact, today, waiting to enchant its guests!

Location Montefalco has charmingly steep, narrow streets which lead to a pretty circular piazza that is arcaded and tree-lined. Here there are all manner of restaurants, shops, banks and bars.
