MONTELEONE D'ORVIETO

Our medieval hilltown of Monteleone d'Orvieto watches over Podere Vigliano. From the garden you will enjoy the majestic view of this tranquil town and hear its distant church bells. Monteleone hosts several well known local festivals throughout the year.

Our town remains relatively untouched by tourists, just as the townspeople prefer. Monteleone was founded in the eleventh century by Orvieto as an outlying stronghold to defend the city's northern possessions and as Orvieto's granary. Remains of the medieval fortifications are still visible. A mural in the choir of the Collegiate Church in Monteleone, houses a Madonna and Child, and is attributed to the famous renaissance artist, born in nearby Citta Della Pierre, Perugino .
