Our restaurant in the cave
In the splendid Umbrian setting, between Spoleto, the Marmore Waterfalls, Assisi, Lake Piediluco, and Todi,
nestled in the beating heart of green Umbria, amid breathtaking landscapes and ancient villages, awaits Il Rifugio dei Vescovi, which is more than just a restaurant.
It is a place where time seems to stand still and tradition intertwines with authentic flavours, offering unforgettable food and wine experiences.
Our speciality? A restaurant carved into a cave, a unique and evocative environment where the charm of nature meets Umbrian culinary art.
In the cave, we also organise tastings by reservation with wines and typical Umbrian products.
