Our Location
At 550m (1,800ft) above sea level Casa sul Monte sits high in the wooded hills of central Umbria with spectacular views over the Tiber valley to the Apennine ranges beyond. Surrounded by hectares of natural forests our home is perfectly located for endless walks through the dramatic landscape of this region while providing an ideal base from which to visit some of Italy's most beautiful medieval towns such as Perugia, Orvieto, Assisi and Todi - all less than one hour's drive away.

Surprisingly, although surrounded by forests, Casa sul Monte also offers an ideal opportunity to experience first hand the day-to-day life of San Vito in Monte, a small rural community of central Umbria, where the long established Piccolo Mondo restaurant provides a warm welcome, good food and convivial meeting point for our guests and local villagers alike.
