DISCOVER UMBRIA
Unmistakably italiano.
Umbria is considered the authentic alternative to Tuscany: medieval villages, quiet valleys, gentle hillscapes and the relaxed Italian way of life.
"Quieter than Tuscany, just as beautiful."
The region is shaped by medieval towns, soft hills, olive groves and a pace you quickly begin to follow. Days begin slowly here: light on warm stone, coffee outside, the sound of cicadas.
PLACES & DAY TRIPS
Città di Castello · Umbria
IL CIBO · FOOD & MARKETS
Olio, pane, pecorino.
Umbria tastes of olive oil, bread, pecorino, truffles, handmade pasta and a glass of Sagrantino in the evening. The beauty of it: a morning market, fresh ingredients, a long table outside. Cucina povera – simple, honest, extraordinarily good.
Per i bambini
Small towns, lakes, gelato stops, waterfalls. Umbria is uncomplicated – children love it.
Per gli adulti
Wine tastings, long lunches, ceramics in Deruta, walks through medieval alleyways. There's something new every day.
Per gli sportivi
The area around Perugia and Assisi offers ideal conditions for cyclists and hikers – with varied routes through the Monte Subasio nature park, gentle hills and picturesque medieval villages.
Per gli intenditori
The region is famous for high-quality olive oil, truffles, pecorino, homemade pasta, fine wines like Sagrantino and traditional Umbrian cuisine.
Per tutti
Florence, Siena, Rome – all reachable for a day trip if the group wants more.
PRACTICAL NOTE
For most outings we recommend a car – it gives you the freedom to discover markets, hill villages and countryside at your own pace.
