A Secret Retreat on Trasimeno Lake

📍 Where it is — the village and its historical context

• Casa Sofia is located in Montecolognola, a hamlet in the municipality of Magione (Perugia), perched on a hill overlooking the northern shore of Lake Trasimeno: it offers a beautiful view of the lake and hills.
• Montecolognola retains a medieval structure: it is a fortified village, with walls and an ancient structure that testifies to its historical origins — a context that makes the setting evocative and full of charm.
• From the location, you can easily reach Lake Trasimeno and other villages of Trasimeno: the area is ideal for those who love nature, history, and tranquility.

🌅 Context, Atmosphere, and Benefits of Your Stay

• Staying in Montecolognola means living in a truly timeless medieval village, with its walls, narrow streets, and lake views: ideal if you're looking for tranquility, history, nature, and a touch of romance.
• The location puts Lake Trasimeno just a short distance away, offering the opportunity for excursions, walks, and perhaps days at the lake, but also the tranquility of a hilltop village.
• Excellent for families or small groups: sleeps three, two bathrooms, and a kitchen—useful if you want independence and comfort without having to depend on restaurants or timetables—and with adequate parking and space, even for those arriving by car.

⚠️ What to Know / Consider

• Even though it's called "in a medieval castle," don't expect a grand, picture-perfect castle: Montecolognola is a small fortified village, and the accommodation is an apartment in a historic setting, not a monumental castle like those you see in movies. Being on a hill and in an ancient village, access may involve narrow or picturesque roads. If you're very sensitive to modern comforts, consider carefully: the apartment has the essential and useful amenities, but the experience will be "rustic-medieval," with the charm (and some limitations) typical of a historic village.
