Palombella is a wonderful place lying in the vicinity of the small and picturesque mountain village of Montegiove with a Castello from the early 13th century. You have a breathtaking view over vast hill ranges to Assisi and the Sybelline Mountain Ranges of the Abruzzen.

Palombella lies away from the mass tourism route, yet still there are small touristic gems that attract visitors from far and wide. The cloister "La Scarzuola" for example, once started by Franz of Assisi, with the "Citta ideale di Buzzi" (built by the architect Tomaso Buzzi from Milan) are a vocal point for art- and politically interested tourists.
