Todi, a renowned turist attraction, is two miles away from the house; for shopping, there is a commercial centre in Pian di Porto, 1 mile from home.

Perugia (Umbria's main city), Assisi and Orvieto are all reachable in 30 minutes; Rome and Florence are at 1 hour and 1/2 drive.

Todi is considered to be one of the best city in the world for the quality of life; its location is one of the best in Italy in order to visit the principal beauties of central Italy and the landscape and culture are not touristic but genuinely italian.

The Todi sport center is in a place called PONTENAIA (4 miles away), that can be easily reached following the signals: there is a nice huge swimming pool, tennis courts and other facilities.
Some other tennis courts are in Todi, near the main Parking called Porta Orvietana.
Nearby there is also a beautiful new spa open for daily treatments.

Horseback riding is very popular and there are several horseback riding clubs; you can go to San Terenziano or in Todi near Pontenaia.
Torre Bettona is also part of the Tiber Natural Park and of "Circuiti del Paesaggio" / "Landscape Circuits" of Todi and a starting point for easy walks and horse trekking. From Pian di San Martino (1/2 mile away) starts a cycling circuit called “Tevere ring”: the river Tevere (Tiber) is indeed very close to it, and a nice trip is the one to the river canions (follow the road towards Orvieto and Corbara lake).

In July in Todi there is a famous art and music festival, but also during August there are several concerts and events. During summer, also innumerable “SAGRE” (local celebrations) in the nearby villages and towns take place. Some of the events are really worth seeing. Normally during these celebrations it's possible to eat very good food at convenient prices , because the local housewives cook and obviously it’s a wild competition among them.
At the end of July there is also a "Sagra" in Pian di San Martino: food and dancing everynight, but they allow you to sleep at a convenient time.

In Todi you can find a cinema (open air during summer)and a very famous XIX century theatre with good shows, manu restaurants and wineries. Don’t miss to visit Assisi, Orvieto and Perugia, with the splendid Galleria Nazionale dell’Umbria; but worth a visit is also the Todi museum and the roman cistern below the square, besides a gorgeous fresco in a nunnery called “il purgatorio di San Patrizio”.
also Bevagna and Foligno are worth seeing.

In general, the countryside around Todi is completely full of castles and every little village has something to attract you, so maybe the best advice that can be given is just to wander around as much as you can (Cecanibbi, Montemolino, Ilci, etc…)
