Places of Interest
- Corciano (5 mins) - Corciano is a small medieval hilltop village a short walk from Palazzo Grande. The old centre is remarkably unspoiled and well-maintained, making it an atmospheric stop on a tour of Umbria.
- Perugia (20 mins) - Reminders of its lively and often bloody past are everywhere, from ancient arches and medieval basilicas to its energetic palace-lined main square to Renaissance frescoes by Perugino and Raphael.
- Basilica di San Francesco in Assisi (40 mins) - This 13th Century UNESCO World Heritage Site is a stunning achievement that has heavily influenced Western art and architecture. Assisi and its Basilica are unique, spiritual, and emotional.
- Todi (30 mins) and Orvieto Cathedral (1 hour) - The hilltop town of Todi is one of the most picturesque in Italy. 30 mins beyond is Orvieto, whose ornate Cathedral is one of the highest achievements of Italian Gothic art and architecture.
- Lake Trasimeno (15 mins) - Italy’s third largest lake is home to plentiful wildfowl as well as easily accessible islands with ancient towns. Gentle hills dotted with medieval villas and castles, and woods, vineyards and olive groves, surround the lake.
- Gubbio (50 mins) - Gubbio, where Saint Francis met the wolf—probably a metaphor for an outlaw who was converted to Christianity and renounced his past—is an exceptionally well-preserved medieval hillside town.

October 2022Grande time at Palazzo Grande
Four couples loved the palazzo and the manager, Filippo with his family offering help and suggestions along the way. The grounds are beautiful as are the accommodations. You will have the whole place to play pool, work out, eat with a chef cooking, if you desire and generally luxuriate in this wonderful Umbrian location. With rental cars we were able to visit the many hilltop towns that make this part of Italy so interesting and colorful. We remain very grateful to the owner, Mr. Mayer, for allowing our stay! Many thanks! Your palazzo is truly a rare gem. ”

September 2021The Royal Treatment
We enjoyed spending a week at the Palazzo Grande with 14 friends to celebrate my husband's 60th birthday. The house managers, Filippo and Emanuela, were fantastic and arranged several catered meals, wine tastings and made great restaurant recommendations. It was truly a special week. We enjoyed exploring the neighboring villages including Montefalco, Gubbio, Assesi, and of course Corciano. We biked to Castiglione, a very special town with amazing views. We hiked Tezio and explored Montecucco. We enjoyed visiting the Antonelli vineyard and of course, enjoyed several nights of catered meals and playing tennis at the Palazzo. The only disappointment was that the pool was closed for our stay, when it should have been open. Our group would have enjoyed cooling off and resting by the pool on the hot days.”
