Città di Castello is enjoying a well-deserved extensive refurbishment and cosmetic overhaul; the beautiful historic centre is being lovingly cleaned and restored, as Umbria begins to deservedly receive the attention previously accorded to Tuscany. The constant warm temperatures and delightful climate, together with the spectacular scenery, little changed since the days of its famous children, guarantee that Umbria is speedily becoming the
place for connoisseurs of fine Italian living. The opportunity to purchase such a property as this, and as inexpensively, is therefore one that should be considered as rare and privileged. |
