Montefalco, Umbria, Italy complete tour

Montefalco in Italy's Umbria region is one of those small gems that most travelers don't even know about. (Don't miss the cats, starting from 12:08) It's kind of a secret that we're going to be revealing to you in all its glory. This old medieval fortified town has many wonderful sites and makes a great place to visit, especially for those who enjoy wandering in those little back pedestrian lanes of a village, lined by old homes built of stone with flowerpots everywhere.

When you enter Montefalco, especially in the off-season you will find an ideal place that is quiet and peaceful, tranquil you're getting away from the crowds at this hilltop location surrounded by some of the most beautiful Umbria landscapes, with the olive trees, vineyards and green rolling hills all around it.
There's none of that overtourism found in so many other destinations. Yet, if people only knew how attractive this place is, many more would come here. So let's just keep it a little secret between us to give you a chance to get to Montefalco before it gets discovered by mass tourism.

Typical of European medieval hill towns, Montefalco was protected by a fortified wall that went all the way around it, most of which is still standing, dominated by this high crenelated tower at the main gate of St. Augustine.

Entertaining and informative video! The best part? Dennis says "Benozzo Gozzoli", subtitles say "but not so goat silly". Made me laugh!

I’m writing a novel set in Montefalco. I regularly come back to this video to witness the beauty of this city through the screen. I hope, one day, i can witness the beauty from my very own eyes.

You definitely hit the "bull's eye" with L'Alchimista! We are very familiar with the area, and the chef, Patrizia is an absolute genius with seasonal food. She is indeed a culinary goddess. Great video!

My pre-pandemic home for nearly 3 years and you captured it beautifully! It’s home to one of the greatest winemakers in the world; Giampiero Bea as well as Romanelli, Tabbarrini and Arnaldo Caprai vineyards. Those bright rust colored grape vineyards are Sagrantino.

A great video !
