Family run Villa Pambuffetti provides luxurious accommodation in an historic building surrounded by extensive park from which you can enjoy a magnificent view all over Umbria.  It is situated just outside Montefalco main medieval walls.  The villa boasts beautiful decor, an antique fireplace and original furnishings.  Set within its own garden you will find a lovely outdoor pool and solarium.   The restaurant is locally renowned for its excellent cuisine.  The family produce their own wine locally and their own olive oil.

Montefalco is a quiet hill town and in view of the fact that eight saints were born here, perhaps one of the holiest.  Tranquill and tiny cobbled streets, most of them too narrow for even a small car, wind gently to the Piazza del Comune.  Spectacular views can be had from Montefalco.  It is called "the balcony of Umbria".  Montefalco is famous for two of Umbria's most distinctive wines, Sangrantino and Sangrantino Passito.   Within The church of San Francesco are frescos by Benozzo Gozzoli, Peruino, Tiberio d'Assisi and others.

Villa Pambuffetti are able to organise horse riding, biking, golf, hot air ballooning and walks.  Sat Nam Rasayan healing treatments and massages can be had in the hotel.
