Lugnano in Teverina, a hilltop village above the Tiber valley
From the ridge it stands on, at around 420 metres, Lugnano in Teverina looks over the Tiber valley in south-western Umbria, near Amelia. The historic centre is compact, partly enclosed by walls, and holds the collegiate church of Santa Maria Assunta, a Romanesque church well known to art historians. Olive groves, vineyards and woods surround it.
Buyers here often choose between a stone house in the village, with internal stairs and no garage, and a farmhouse in the countryside with land and access along unsurfaced roads. The A1 motorway and the railway run through the valley below, handy for Rome and Orvieto, though you need a car to reach them. The report works out distances to schools, pharmacies and shops from the exact address.
