About Magione
Magione is a municipality of about 14,700 on a hill on Lake Trasimeno's east side, and higher hills block the view of the lake from the town. Its main sight is the Castello dei Cavalieri di Malta, which began as a Knights Hospitaller hospital in the mid-12th century and which locals call the Badia. The Autodromo dell'Umbria, a car and motorcycle circuit, lies to the east. The lake is shallow, averaging 4 to 5 m deep, and suitable for swimming from May to September. The homes are close to town, mostly with a private pool and a garden, and sleep around five.
