Appartamento in Città della Pieve

Lake Trasimeno is within the 15 km radius and is the dominant geographic feature of the area. The lake is shallow and has islands, including Isola Maggiore and Isola Polvese. The Parco Regionale del Lago Trasimeno protects wetlands and birdlife around the lake. Shoreline towns in the lake basin include Magione, Passignano sul Trasimeno and Tuoro sul Trasimeno; boat services operate between the shore and the islands. The surrounding ground is low-lying plain and gentle hills used for agriculture (olive groves, vineyards and arable land). Castiglione del Lago sits on the lakeshore and has a medieval historic centre with a fortress and a small harbour. The Apennine ridge is visible to the east but no significant mountains or ski lifts lie within 15 km; the nearest mountain ski areas are in the Apennines, a drive of roughly an hour or more. Perugia, the provincial capital with a university, airport and rail links, is about 40 km away.
