Where to Base
Stay within the walled medieval center to fully immerse yourself in the historic atmosphere. While modern housing estates surround the town, they lack the authentic charm and proximity to key heritage sites found inside the walls.
Montone is a comune in the Province of Perugia, Umbria, located approximately 35 km north of Perugia. Recognized as one of I Borghi più belli d'Italia, this walled medieval village offers a serene escape from urban bustle. It is the historic origin of the Fortebracci condottieri family, most notably Braccio da Montone. While a small industrial and housing estate surrounds the ancient center, the walled town itself remains the focal point for visitors. The area provides a quiet, culturally rich base for exploring Umbria, blending medieval heritage with the tranquility of the Italian countryside.
