Banditella is located among the unspoiled hills that separate Orvieto and Todi. Precisely for this reason, it is the ideal starting point for splendid walks in the surrounding woods, as well as for visiting the two splendid cities of art

Mount Piatto, which overlooks the Sosselva Estate and the village of Prodo, is a protected area. The diversity of fauna inhabiting its slopes is of rare richness. On hikes in this area it is possible to see not only the short-toed eagle or snake eagle, a rare white eagle, but also wild boars, porcupines, fallow deer and foxes. The elusive wolf, however, rewards only the most patient and experienced explorers. The trails leading from Prodo to Mount Plate are privately owned but open to the public. Experienced trackers also offer private guided tours.

Around Prodo, along the hills that descend into Lake Corbara, there are several wineries. The wine offerings are varied, ranging from good wines that brighten peasant tables to prestigious labels. We recommend, in particular, booking a visit to our neighbors at the Decugnano dei Barbi winery, just a few minutes' drive from Prodo, which has exported the fame of the wine from our hills all over the world.

In addition, a number of dairies around Prodo offer the opportunity to purchase artisanal cheeses, both goat and cow. We would be happy to give you more detailed information, should you be interested.

During the rainy times of the year, from March to June, it is possible to book explorations in the Prodo Gorge with one of several canyoning groups . A place of rare beauty, the hike is quite strenuous. In some sections it is necessary to abseil with ropes, and in others it is possible to dive several meters. Not recommended for those who suffer from vertigo and in any case good physical condition is necessary. Lasts about 3-4 hours. It is necessary to make contact with the Orvieto caving group or one of several private guides.
