Beyond the Retreat’s walls lies a landscape of woods, olive groves, vineyards, and enchanting villages. It is an Umbria still untouched, silent, where every encounter carries the flavor of things made with care.
The Monteleone collaborates with farms, artisans, and local guides to offer experiences that grow from the land itself, in tune with its rhythm.
From wine and olive oil tastings to truffle hunting, from walks through hills and villages to visits to selected workshops and wineries — every activity is tailor-made and can be booked directly on-site.
The heart of Umbria beats through its flavors.
Thanks to partnerships with wineries and olive mills just a short distance from the Retreat, you can take part in guided tastings of the white and red wines of Orvieto and Montefalco, or discover the art of Umbrian extra virgin olive oil — from the Moraiolo and Frantoio cultivars to the more delicate notes of Leccino.
Each experience is led by the producers themselves, in spaces that smell of wood and must, amid stories of harvests and artisanal craft.
For those who wish, tailor-made food and wine tours can be arranged, including local cheeses, honey, and cured meats.
An experience rooted in nature’s rhythm and the oldest Umbrian traditions.
Accompanied by expert truffle hunters and their dogs, you’ll explore the woods surrounding Monteleone d’Orvieto in search of black truffles — summer or winter — and, in some seasons, the prized Umbrian white truffle.
The walk becomes a ritual of listening and observation, ending with a private tasting where the truffle takes center stage in simple dishes paired with local wines.
A moment of conviviality and discovery that restores the true flavor of this land.
Among the gentle hills that connect Umbria and Tuscany lie some of Italy’s most captivating golf courses.
From the elegance of Antognolla Golf, designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. and set amid forests and medieval castles, to the rustic charm of Golf Club Lamborghini, surrounded by vineyards and olive groves, and Golf Club Perugia, a historic city course that combines technical precision with natural grace.
Monteleone d’Orvieto is an ideal starting point for exploring some of Central Italy’s most evocative villages.
In just minutes, you can reach Orvieto, with its Cathedral, underground caves, and the cliff overlooking the valley. Città della Pieve — a red-brick town of endless vistas — or Panicale, Paciano, and Castiglione del Lago, perched above the tranquil waters of Lake Trasimeno.
Just beyond the border, Cetona, Chiusi, Cortona, and Montepulciano reveal the most authentic Tuscany — a land of art, wine, and rolling hills.
Every itinerary can be arranged with private transfers or local guides.
In Umbria, craftsmanship is still a living language.
Around the Retreat, you can visit ceramic studios, carpentry workshops, and artisanal weaving ateliers, where raw materials take shape in the hands of their makers.
Watch wood, terracotta, and natural fabrics being worked, discovering the value of gestures handed down through generations.
Authentic, intimate experiences — perfect for those seeking a direct connection with local culture.
Hills, woods, and country roads trace an ideal landscape for those who love the open air. From The Monteleone, panoramic paths wind through olive groves and vineyards — perfect for walking or cycling.
On request, guided excursions, picnics among the olive trees, or visits to small farms along the way can be arranged.
Each path is an invitation to slow down and breathe in the quiet of this place.
