At Lago di Trasimeno in Umbria

Umbria is a region in the central part of Italy, and in the north-western part of this region lies Lake Trasimeno. This lake is the fourth largest lake in Italy, and around it there are plenty of resorts, campsites and charming marinas.

Ecological holidays in Italy

If you want to enjoy a relaxing and ecological holiday in Italy, Umbria is the place to be! Here the landscape is green, the olive groves are dense and you feel like you're in genuine Italy, in a way we've never experienced anywhere else in this country.

The ecological resort Il Cantico Della Natura is located high on a hill on the eastern side of Lake Trasimeno. It overlooks both the lake and the green valleys.

Rooms with a rustic Italian feel

The hotel opened in 2003, after four years of renovation. At that time there were only a few rooms, but every winter they have been able to complete a few more. There are now 18 unique rooms at Il Cantica Della Natura, all with a genuine Italian feel.

The rooms have beautiful walls, cool bathroom solutions and, in many cases, stunning views through the windows. You can choose the suites for the most rustic luxury and mesmerising views, but even the smaller rooms offer authenticity and tranquillity.

SPA

There is also a small but very cosy spa at the hotel. Here you have access to a whirlpool and two different types of sauna.

Pool with magical views

The pool at Il Cantico Della Natura has a truly magical view. It looks out over the green fields and Lake Trasimeno. Since the hotel is so small, it is not too crowded either. We spent many pleasant hours here!

Organic products

The resort is affiliated with EcoWorldHotel.com, which means it is committed to caring for nature in various ways. They also sell organic products from nearby farms, such as jams, honey and olive oil.

Cosy restaurant

The resort of course has a restaurant, which serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. For lunch, you can have anything from pasta to light meals, such as prosciutto with melon. For dinner, you can either order the 4-course menu of the day or choose freely from an a la carte menu. For those who are vegetarian, vegan or allergic, options are available.

Adapting to Italian habits, we had a late meal by the pool of truffle pasta and red wine. It doesn't get much better than that, does it?

Lovely nature around the resort

The whole resort is surrounded by beautiful nature. The crickets play loudly in the bushes and the butterflies flutter around you as you walk the paths in the area. The lizards scurry among the rocks and we also saw the occasional rabbit.

Just outside reception, there's an adorable little "hotel area" with hotel rooms for different types of birds and insects, including suites, a bar and a pub....

The perfect place to relax

This eco-resort in Umbria must surely be the perfect place for those seeking relaxation and tranquillity. The go as well as not feeling stressed in this environment. If you're hanging around the hotel, you don't have to do much more than lounge by the pool or maybe read a good book in a hammock. If you want to be more active, you can of course take the car down to Lake Trasimeno, or perhaps go hiking or horseback riding, as there is a horse farm nearby.

Il Cantico Della Natura is located in Montesperello in Magione in Umbria. The address is Case Sparse 50, Montesperello of Perugia Magione, but if you have trouble finding it when you set it on the GPS (we did!) you can just set it to Montesperello. Once you get there, there are clear signs showing you the rest of the way. Then just enjoy your holiday in Italy!
