Bettona, authentic "Etruscan Balcony", located to the left of the Tiber River is easily accessible from Perugia (20 km), Assisi, Todi and Orvieto. A part of Bettona's history is closely linked to the ancient Amerinan and Flaminian Ways. Bettona is a natural overlook onta one of the most characteristic Umbrian views created by the semicircular chain of the centrai Apennines that extends from Lake Trasimeno to Perugia, Assisi, Spello, Foligno and Montefalco. The "city wall", formed by well-preserved structures from the Etruscan times and Middle Ages, is still intact.
It is 1000 m long with towers, bastions and drawbridges. From the walls, one has a complete view of the valley below with its fertile plains. At a glance, one takes in the dark, soft lines of the hills with the continuity of colors of the soil and plants, which are sometimes contrasting, sometimes blending, depending upon the season.
The serenity of this natural view is made even more familiar by the numerous agricultural settlements and the panorama of the surrounding cities: Assisi, clinging to the side of Mount Subasio, Spello, to the cast, St. Mary of the Angels in the plains, Cannara, Bevagna, Bastia, Torgiano and Perugia, almost hidden in the glimmer of the horizon.
At Bettona, there is tourist accommodation available in hotels, farm holiday, farmhouse, residence self-catering accommodation, b&b, rooms for rent, holiday homes, camp sites and tourist villages.
