For accomodation further afield, the countryside around Tuoro and Sanguineto has a lot to offer in Castiglione del Lago on the Umbrian side and Cortona just across the border in Tuscany. While Passigniano is the closest (a mere 20 minutes by car), the former two are beautiful, well-preserved Renaissance towns well worth a visit should you not be staying in either. There is a list of hotels for each available here: (Passignano, Castiglione del Lago, and Cortona. We recommend Il Torrione in Castiglione, the Villa di Piazzano in Cortona, the Hotel Villa Paradiso in Passignano (37-45 euro per person per night and the Monte Gualandro, an amazing residence near Sanguineto. For those looking for luxury, there is the Relais & Chateaux's Il Falconiere at the foot of Cortona. There is also in Passignano the Hotel La Vela.
We also have scanned copies of hotel & agriturismo brochures (generously provided by Caroline Clark) that are available by e-mail should you want to look at them.
