This morning you have time to visit Spoleto, which is built on a hilltop and is surrounded by an evergreen woodland and a hilly countryside. The historical center is, for the most part, still inside the medieval town walls. Spoleto is very famous for its music festival ‘dei due mondi’ held in the month of July. Don’t forget to visit the cathedral with its beautiful frescoes by the Florentine painter Filippo Lippi.The route of today has different versions: the easy cycle path route without up and downhill cycling and which goes directly to Bevagna. Or the more strenuous route: biking on through a slightly undulating landscape you will already see Montefalco from a distance. At the foot of this town, you can choose to continue through the valley directly to Bevagna or to visit Montefalco, but to get to this town you first have to conquer a steep climb (470 m). Montefalco is also known as the ‘balcony of Umbria’, because of its fantastic panorama. The Franciscan church, now a museum, is decorated with magnificent 5th and 16th-century frescoes by artists like Benozzo Gozzoli and Perugino. Montefalco is well-known for its excellent wines, Rosso di Montefalco d.o.c. and Sagrantino d.o.c.g , produced on the sunny slopes around the town, and of course its almost impossible to leave the town without tasting them in one of the many wine bars. From Montefalco, you go downhill to Bevagna, where the medieval square with the two Romanesque churches is a real meeting place for the friendly inhabitants. Tonight's accommodations are located in the center of town.
Standard/Superior Accommodations:
Palazzo Brunamonti ***
Residenza Porta GuelfaDay 4: Cycling to Assisi passing Torgiano, 23 mi. (37 km), Not passing Torgiano, 32 mi. (52 km)
Today you bike mostly through the valley. You can choose to visit Torgiano, a fortified village in medieval times, situated on the confluence of \the rivers Chiascio and Tiber (Tevere). It is certainly worth stopping off in this town, which like Montefalco, is famous for its excellent red and white wines. You could visit the wine museum with (next-door) the ‘osteria’ of the Lungarotti family, where you can taste the excellent Torgiano wines. After Torgiano you will cross the valley, cycling on quiet country roads. You can see Assisi from a distance because, like many other Umbrian towns, it is built on a hilltop. Before reaching Assisi, however, you can stop for a moment to visit the Franciscan basilica in S.Maria degli Angeli. Under its impressive dome still lies the humble little chapel Porziuncola, where St. Francis once came to pray. To get to the beautiful historical center of Assisi, you have to make a short, steep climb, but wandering through the town you will agree that it was worth the effort. After your visit to Assisi, you return to your hotel in Viole (3 km from Assisi).
