Holiday rentals near Museo Archeologico di Terni

While relatively spartan, Castello di Morcicchia is a superb place to spend time in a serene, peaceful setting in the Umbrian countryside, far from the maddening tourist hordes. The Castle is within easy driving distance of Umbria's most renowned hilltop towns and many smaller ones. There are some very pretty walks into the surrounding forests. And a fantastic terrace at the top of the castle on which to sit in the sun and gaze at the sublime vistas.

This was an utterly spectacular, beautifully decorated and maintained apartment, with the city out front (on the street side) and with a balcony out back, overlooking nothing but greenery and farmland. You couldn't possibly to any better than this.
