Itineraries and surroundings

Our vacation apartments are found on the border between the Umbrian Alta Valle del Tevere and the Valtiberina of Tuscany; this valley is a large basin formed by the filling of Lake Tiberino occurring in the Pliocene era and ploughed by the Tevere River for approximately 50 km.

This primarily mountainous territory is the crossroads of four regions (Tuscany, Umbria, Romagna and Marche) giving it many forms of influence in architecture and customs, in gastronomic and artisanal products, including the language itself, giving it a very particular nature compared to the Tuscan context.

La Vallata offers visitors a gentle and attractive landscape of the valley bed, characterized by rivers and streams, forests and farmhouses, overlooked by picturesque rural hamlets and ancient castles from the surrounding hills.

The municipality of Citerna is located in the province of Perugia in the center of the Tiber Valley. The Citernese territory is mainly made up of agricultural land (on which the local economy is based) and hills covered with woods.

Citerna is considered the "terrace" of the Tiber Valley; in fact, from here you can admire, with a simple glance, the entire valley crossed by the Tiber river which starts from Città di Castello and extends up to Sansepolcro.

Thanks to its beauties and the panorama that can be admired, Citerna is one of the "most beautiful villages in Italy"

The monuments that can be admired in this medieval village are: the Rocca (a recently restored fortification of Lombard origin), the Church of S. Michele Arcangelo (where a magnificent Madonna with Child is preserved), the Church of San Francesco (probably built in memory of the passage of Saint Francis of Assisi to Citerna) and Palazzo Prosperi with its medieval walkway (also called "of the lovers" and home to interesting small exhibitions).
