Molino dei Ciliegi is at the foot of Rotecastello, a lovely medieval hamlet on the slopes of Monte Peglia, with less than 20 residents. Going mushroom and wild asparagus hunting is a local favorite here, but you can simply walk in the woods to contemplate nature or, if you love art, visit nearby Orvieto, Todi, Perugia, Assisi and Bevagna.
If you are into wine and food, Molino dei Ciliegi is just halfway between Orvieto and Montefalco, the most renowned towns for Umbrian wine.
Among the hidden treasures of the region, the Volcano Museum in San Venanzo, the visionary Scarzuola complex, from the genius of Tomaso Buzzi, in Montegabbione, and Montecastello Vibio with the world’s smallest theatre.
Those flowers, those women, those smiles freshly colored by the life that the dawn made us a little earlier, that chorus of small things that reward us, cannot buy them the money.
Nor can it buy that night lived in a rebel land that comes back to my memory.
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
