Magione (Perugia)
Nestled in a great calm surrounded by olive trees and woods, at around 400 meters above sea level, the farm house Casale Il Picchio produces an excellent organic Extra Vergine Olive Oil and quality wines. The property is located in a very peaceful country side and at the same time it is only 3km far from the first town (Magione) and only 5km from the highway connection road which takes you easily to the most beautiful cities of Umbria – Assisi, Perugia, Spoleto, Gubbio, Orvieto, Todi, Spello – and to Tuscany. Very close to our Villas, to the Trasimeno Lake, you'll get the chance to play volleyball and canoe, windsurfing, mountain biking and fishing or visiting his beautiful islands...

This region can offer, differently from the surrounding zones, all the environmental wonders and the tourist attractions that only a lake of remarkable size, such as the Trasimeno, can guarantee. It is not by chance that the most important centres of this region, such as Castiglione del Lago, Tuoro sul Trasimeno, Passignano sul Trasimeno, and Magione, rise on its rivers and also the more distant villages, such as Piegaro, Paciano or Panicale, orbit around to this important pole of economic and tourist attraction.
Perhaps only Città della Pieve for the unquestionable artistic treasures, escapes this law, according to which, the interest of the traveller focuses on the waters of the greatest lake of the center of Italy . Traces of an ancient and painful history are not missing: the castles, the churches and the abbeys; the works of artists of great reputation, like those of Pietro Vannucci called the Perugino or those of Nicolò Pomarancio. For those who prefer relax in the natural surroundings, the beautiful excursions between the woods and the mountains can be suggested, from where a particular view as far as what concerns the Umbria region, can be admired.
At Il Picchio you can also do something unusual. Go to the woods in search of home-grown delicacies such as mushrooms, truffles and asparagus; guided rides along the enduro paths, pick olives or learn more about the world of wine!
