Appartamenti del Porto
Four apartments in the Via del Porto. The garden has olive trees, vines and a lovely pool, 6x6m. The name refers to a port of ancient times when this was the edge of Lake Trasimeno. It is now half a kilometre from the lake - a two minute drive or fifteen minutes walk to the beach and ferry embarkation point (to one of the islands and two other towns on the lake).
Tuoro town centre is a short walk away where there are cafés, pizzerie and restaurants as well as banks, shops etc. Nearby the apartments is a restaurant and there is another at the lakeside. Scooters can be hired inTuoro and bicycles in the next town. It is very well located for touring.
It is within easy reach of Cortona, Perugia, Assisi, Gubbio, Castiglione del Lago, Orvieto, Todi, Montepulciano and Arezzo. Siena is forty minutes and Florence takes 80 minites by car or train; easy day trips can be made to San Gimignano and Volterra; even Rome is a cheap "awayday". Two rail lines are nearby. However, the near locality has a lot to offer. As well as the stunning scenery, dotted with medieval towns, there is tennis, cycling, sailing, wind surfing, swimming, horse riding, and ferry trips on the lake. The apartments are on the site of the battle of Trasimeno where Hannibal defeated the Romans - some relics remain.
There are two houses each with a ground floor and a balcony apartment. Simply but adequately furnished, shared washing machine.
Garden Apartments: kitchen/diner, living room, 2 bedrooms, small bathroom. with shower. French doors from kitchen and one bedroom to garden.
Balcony Apartments: entrance by external wide stairs; kitchen/diner, sitting room, two bathrooms, two large bedrooms and an alcove with child's bed- all principal rooms open on to balconies.
The view is to the west where you can see the edge of the lake, Isola Maggiore, and the Tuscan hills in the distance.
All the rooms are of good size. The garden also has sun canopies, loungers and a barbecue.
Because the pool is directly outside the apartments, for safety reasons we cannot accept children under 8 years old.
