Location
Martinozza di Sopra stands in its own grounds on a hilltop, overlooking the Pian di Marte and Val di Rosa valleys. It is private and secluded, the grounds being surrounded with open countryside and woodland. Opposite the house, looking across the Pian di Marte (Plain of Mars) is the ruin of the medieval tower, Torre di Fiume, whilst to the East, is the hilltop village of Preggio.
The house is on the Umbria/ Tuscany border, about 40 minutes from both the hilltop town of Cortona and the Umbrian capital of Perugia. Lake Trasimeno - with its islands, boats, leisure activities and amazing views - is in the next valley - about 15 minutes' drive away. The main road running around the lake - which links Perugia to the A1 motorway - is only about 10 minutes away, making the house a great base to explore the area's other numerous beautiful places, including Assisi, Florence, Montepulciano, Siena, Arezzo, Gubbio and Sansepolcro. All are within about an hour's drive.
The house is about 15 minutes from the nearest villages, Lisciano Niccone, Mercatale di Cortona and Castel Rigone.
