About Monteleone d'Orvieto

Monteleone d'Orvieto sits in country that takes in parts of Umbria, Lazio and Tuscany, and its high position over Orvieto and Città della Pieve kept it strategic for centuries. The castle was built by the people of Orvieto between 1000 and 1100 to guard their northern frontier, and sections of its mighty walls are still visible. Florentine troops besieged and looted it in 1643 and 1644, during the Castro War. Castel Brandetto stands nearby. The homes sit close together in one spot rather than across the countryside. Most are small, sleeping around four, and nearly all have a private pool and a fireplace, while air conditioning is rare.
