My name is Giacomo and I am the manager of Antica Sosta. I have been working in the hotel industry for years, but I have always had the dream of opening my own small establishment. This is how Antica Sosta was born, a well-kept and elegant place to which my partner Emanuela and I have dedicated a lot of our energy to make your stay unforgettable. We strive every day to improve our establishment because we believe that hospitality and welcoming are not just part of a "job" but a true ideal and a way of life.

We wish you a pleasant stay at Antica Sosta.
L'ANTICA SOSTA is located in a small hamlet of the municipality of Corciano: Capocavallo, the etymology of the name should date back to the presence of an ancient horse station, located along the connection between the Trasimeno area and the northern Valtiberina.
Monuments and places of interest:
- The characteristic bell tower in Rococo style (1890), built on a Gothic-style door with Tuscan arch.
- Remains of the castle walls and one of the old entrance gates. Originally of a polygonal plan and located on a slope.
- New church of San Lorenzo (1929), with three aisles, built on the remains of the ancient religious building. It was restored in 2002 after being rendered uninhabitable by the 1997 earthquake. Inside, two gonfalons are preserved, one of which (1925) is the work of Petrignani.
- Church of Madonna delle Grazie (13th century), in terracotta on a stone base. Nearby stands a farmhouse built on the remains of the ancient hospital.
- The Rufini palaces (1200), an ancient watchtower on the outskirts of the Della Cornia territory: it was a border barracks, hunting lodge, and horse exchange station for those heading to Perugia or crossing Italy from the Tyrrhenian Sea to the Adriatic Sea.
- Etruscan Tomb of Faggeto: located a few kilometers away in the small hamlet of San Giovanni del Pantano, discovered around 1920 by a woodcutter. In addition to being interesting, reaching it is a beautiful walk through the woods.
- Bed of St. Francis: located on the road that goes up from Mantignana to Castel Rigone, it is a flat natural stone on which, according to popular tradition, St. Francis would have rested several times during his frequent journeys between Assisi and La Verna.
Just 3 minutes away, you can visit the small village of Migiana, and 5 minutes away is the village of Corciano, counted among the most beautiful villages in Italy.
For wine lovers, we recommend a visit to the "Carini" wineries, and it will also be possible to purchase cheeses and local products from nearby farms.
What to do with children in the area:
While waiting for the imminent opening of the water park, families can take walks on the Monte Tezio trails or visit the fantastic Gnome Village of Monte Malbe, go to the horse riding stable for a horseback riding experience, or get lost in the magical garden and suggestive gallery of the FUSEUM art center by Perugian artist Brajo Fuso.
