"Casa Greppo'' is a beautiful farmhouse in the hills at 450 m above sea level and is located near San Venanzo, in the more traditional and less known Umbria, between Todi, Orvieto and Perugia.
Located within an active property of 20 hectares, the farm "Podere Greppo", among olive groves, arable land and woods, is placed in a dominant position from which you can enjoy a splendid panorama. In the foreground Rotecastello, a medieval jewel with its watchtower, all around hills, valleys, multicolored cultivated fields and many other small medieval villages absolutely outside the traditional tourist circuits.
We mention, for example, Civitella dei Conti (2.5 km), a very small village on top of a hill that preserves the remains of a fortification, other small and charming villages such as Collelungo (4.5 km), Poggio Aquilone (5 km) that also offers the possibility of a hike along the Fersinone stream, Montecastello di Vibio (10 km), a small jewel, not for nothing permanent summer home of international art stages and home to the Teatro della Concordia, the smallest active public theater in the world!
Nearby you can visit Todi and also the Tiber River Park. Other nature reserves include that of Lake Trasimeno and again on the Colfiorito Plain. You can find many other indications at the offices of the local Pro Loco in San Venanzo or at the site "Monte Peglia and Selva di Meana." The local San Venanzo Volcanological Museum and Park is well worth a visit.
Wanting to look further, you can also reach and visit in the space of a day Tuscany, Arezzo for example is 100km away; or Rome, which can also be reached by train from Orvieto; this also makes Greppo an ideal starting point for visiting the most fascinating centers of central Italy.
To the delight of your children, you can easily visit Città della Domenica, a splendid park equipped for kids that, among other things, also houses a famous reptile house.

The life of the surroundings, observed from the top of the very panoramic position over valleys and small villages, seems to flow with quiet, meditative rhythms but, if you decide to go, to move towards those places, you will soon realize that there is actually a lot of vitality; throughout the year there is a succession and often overlapping of various "activities related to culture, traditions and tourism: meetings of international scope such as, among the best known, the Spoleto Festival, the International Festival of Todi, the Festival of Nations in Città di Castello, Umbria Jazz; folk festivals enlivened by concerts, fairs and dance music where, above all, the varieties of Umbrian cuisine are exalted, with tastings of dishes based on wild boar or game, truffles, cured meats and grilled meats of all kinds, and then performances of Umbrian tradition with historical re-enactments and costumed processions, market exhibitions that periodically fill the historic center of almost every town in the area such as Perugia, Arezzo, Todi, Spoleto.
