Calvi dell'Umbria, hills on the Sabina border

Calvi dell'Umbria is an Umbrian village on the border with Lazio, on hills rising towards the Sabine mountains, at around four hundred metres. The historic centre is compact and built of stone, with small squares and lanes, and the surrounding countryside alternates olive groves, woods and pasture. Narni and Terni are the reference towns for services and work, Orte for the train and the A1 motorway; Rome is within driving distance for those who do not need to go every day.

The market offers houses in the village, often needing work, and farmhouses with land, which can also work as a second home. With a farmhouse, check access roads, water, drainage and whether outbuildings and extensions are authorised. On the slopes the report measures the gradient and checks the official landslide maps for the exact address.
