Palazzolo is located in Umbria, very close to the border to Tuscany, in an area anciently populated by the Etruscans, thus many archaeological findings discovered in the neighbourhood can be seen in the museum of Chiusi and in some tombs. To the north lies the Trasimeno lake; it is surrounded by old villages, where there are many towers and castles, and it has 3 islands (2 can be visited by boat). On the west side there are Chiana and Orcia valleys (the latter is a Unesco heritage site). The agricultural landscape is suggestive, with plenty of vineyards and olive groves, and in the area are located wineries producing good wines and olive mills. Nearby there are many small towns, that are rich in ancient remains from etruscan, Roman and medieval times and also in thermal spas. At the Umbrian side, there are many cities like Perugia, Orvieto and Assisi, which are impressive for their beauty and for the artistic and archaeological heritage, that you can find in their churches and museums
