Città della Pieve – Villastrada

Stage 4 - from Città della Pieve to Villastrada

Description

The path plunges into a forest leading towards the hamlet of San Donato. After crossing the state road, the path continues along dirt roads to Cantagallina. Villastrada is a small village. The stage deliberately ends here, because Villastrada is an example of how even the smallest centres can regain vitality thanks to the walk.

The fourth segment of the Via del Trasimeno involves a walk of about 3 km along the road travelled during the previous stage, to avoid busy roads. We pass the “Tre Mulini” farm and enter a wood that leads to the small hamlet of San Donato, consisting of a few clusters of small houses. Further on, having crossed the state road, the path continues along white roads and leads to the pretty hamlet of Cantagallina.

A 30-minute walk takes you to the final destination of this stage: Villastrada, a small village with a few shops and accommodation facilities. The pride of the village is the Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie, built in the early 20th century by architect Ercole Crescenzi of Panicale.
