Poggio del Sole is situated near
San Gemini,
a
medieval village
amongst the most colorful of whole Umbria,
which in year 2000 has joined
the Slow Food
“Slow Cities” network.
“Slow” for San Gemini represents not only a commitment
to cultivate the charming atmosphere
which usually characterizes the ancient villages,
but also taking the time to stop
and admire the breathtaking landscape from the top of the hill.
While in San Gemini you can make a walk
along the secular park of the spa and taste its mineral water,
admire the ancient beauty of the church of San Giovanni,
the “Palazzo del Capitano del Popolo”
and the historical churches of
San Francesco and
San Nicolò.
Poggio del Sole, with
Carsulae,
the ancient Roman town
and the breathtaking
Cascata delle Marmore
(Marmore Falls) within easy reach,
makes also a good base for visiting Umbria, a region
rich in natural beauties, archeological sites and works of art.

“Parco della Fonte Termale”
(the park of the spa),

(earth science museum) and the
