Visit Lake Piediluco in Umbria

visit Lake Piediluco

About 20 minutes from Montefranco, Piediluco is a picturesque village overlooking the lake of the same name, the second largest in Umbria. Surrounded by hills and woodland, it offers beautiful views and a relaxed atmosphere—ideal for a day trip. The historic centre, with its colourful houses arranged like an amphitheatre along the shore, retains an authentic and welcoming charm.

Don’t miss the Church of San Francesco, dating back to the 13th century, and a walk up to Monte Caperno for spectacular panoramic views over the lake and the surrounding mountains. Piediluco is also internationally known for its National Rowing Centre, which hosts regattas and training camps for teams from all over the world.

This destination is perfect for outdoor lovers: boat trips, walking and cycling routes, as well as water sports. In the village restaurants you can enjoy lake fish dishes such as grilled coregone, alongside traditional Umbrian specialities. Piediluco pairs perfectly with a visit to the nearby Marmore Falls, creating a complete itinerary that blends nature and culture.
