Il Belvedere is located in the North-East of Umbria and is surrounded by a varied countryside, with hills and mountains as well as farmed land and woodland. The unique combination of urban and natural scenery in this part of Italy offers guests staying at Il Belvedere a number of possibilities to explore the local rich cultural and natural heritage.

One can enjoy the wealth of works of art in the small towns of Terni, Orvieto and Narni or visit the small sanctuaries dedicated to St. Francis, scattered along the road leading from Spoleto to Assisi, through Trevi and Spello. Perugia, with its thirteenth century central fountain Fontana Maggiore, and the small towns of Todi and Amelia are all places of prominent historical and archeological interest.

The location of Il Belvedere is perfect for an itinerary starting from the medieval town of Gubbio and its historic buildings.

From Gubbio one can reach Umbertide, whose features include a small fourteenth century square (Piazza S. Francesco) and the impressive Rocca, a medieval fortress where the Center for Contemporary Art is located. Towards the north, one can find the Renaissance town of Città di Castello and visit the Pinacoteca Comunale, located in a building of historic interest, and the Museo Capitolare. While heading back towards Umbertide, one can enjoy the natural enviroment of Lake Trasimeno and its beautiful woods.
