The natural park of “Le Fonti del Clitunno”

In the province of Perugia, jealously guarded, there is a fairytale place, a true oasis of tranquility and peace that is worth visiting whenever you can.

One of those places far from modernity and completely immersed in the greenery present in the small and delightful village of Campello sul Clitunno, which is located in the heart of Umbria, on the Via Flaminia, between Spoleto and Foligno.

The natural setting of Le Fonti del Clitunno is a park that is absolutely worth visiting because it is a true corner of paradise, where you can immerse yourself in its magic and peace.

A romantic and solitary place, a wonderful transparent body of water, created by underground currents, where the reflection of poplars, cypresses and willows, together with the reflections of the sun on the water, create a magical natural painting.

The waters that flow from the springs take on an exciting variety of shades of colors, from turquoise to emerald green, from yellow to blue, making the body of water a true palette of colors.

This enchanted place has inspired writers and artists since ancient times, such as Virgil, George Byron and Giosuè Carducci who dedicated his ode Alle Fonti del Clitunno to the source.

The inimitable charm of the Fonti del Clitunno attracts visitors in every period of the year, summer, autumn, winter and spring, no matter what season it is.

Lush vegetation that changes appearance according to the seasons, along with streams, waterfalls, bridges and paths, create a unique place and make the park a place where you can find an intimate contact with Nature, in an atmosphere of fabulous harmony.

Getting to the park is very easy, because it is located along the Via Flaminia, in the municipality of Campello sul Clitunno and is 50 km from Spoleto. There is the Campello sul Clitunno exit which is 10 km from the Spoleto exit.

In addition to spending relaxing moments walking in the park, it is possible to stay in splendid dream apartments to indulge in further relaxation immersed in the surrounding nature.

For those who want to delight the palate, next to the park there is an excellent restaurant where you can experience typical Umbrian cuisine at a very reasonable cost. A welcoming environment is the backdrop to this tavern that offers a series of dishes linked to tradition and local products.


A food and wine experience in the Parco della Poesia and a garden with tables to let you pamper yourself.

In the surroundings of the Fonti del Clitunno there are many other beautiful things to see, such as the Tempio del Clitunno, the castle of Pissignano, the hamlet of Campello sul Clitunno and Trevi, one of the most beautiful villages in Italy.

  • Spello with its balconies and flower-filled alleys
  • Montefalco which is the home of Sagrantino wine
