Via Sentino, 23, Scheggia

The cluster sits in the eastern Umbrian Apennines with the Monte Cucco massif and the Parco Regionale del Monte Cucco within a few kilometres. Monte Cucco is a karst massif with notable caves (Grotta di Monte Cucco) and is a local centre for speleology, hang-gliding, walking and mountain-biking. The immediate landscape is forested Apennine slopes with chestnut woods, pasture, small agricultural plots and scattered hamlets. There are no ski lifts in the immediate area; alpine-style ski resorts in the central Apennines lie much farther away. The nearest town of size is Gubbio (medieval historic centre, a Roman theatre and the annual Festa dei Ceri), within about 15 km and providing shops and services.
