Palombella nestles in the Umbrian hills between the large lakes of Trasimeno and Bolsena. The area is sparsely populated and there is an abundance of untouched nature: there are hot springs and large tracts of oak forest. Characteristic are also the many olive groves with their silvery green leaves. Rome and Florence are 120 km away, the Mediterranean sea is about 2,5 hours by car. Within easy reach there are many historic, Roman and Etruscan, towns: Orvieto, Todi, Spoleto, Gubbio, Perugia, Assisi, Siena and others. For nature lovers the immediate surroundings offer relaxation as well as the following activities: sign posted footpaths invite you to explore on foot or by mountain bike. Organized trekking is also offered in the area. In summer, you can take a refreshing dip in cold natural fresh water pools. Also interesting to visit is the nearby picturesque Franciscan convent 'La Scarzuola' and the village of Montegiove, with its medieval castle, in walking distance.
