Medieval cities, ancient hamlets, castles and abbeys, Etruscan and Roman remains – Umbria has a wealth of history to offer its visitors, all set against some of Europe’s finest countryside and with qualified regional guides to ensure you get the most out of the experience.
It is a territory which is characterized by hills warm as the ploughed land, green as the Mediterranean bush, embellished with urban centres small, but all perfect as for city planning, and their burden of history. Visiting Umbria one can see clearly the presence of man starting from the Etruscans, or the Umbrians, to the Romans and their wealthy villas, the Middle Age with its many fortresses and castles, the Renaissance and its fabulous paintings and the elegance and eurhythmy of its courtyards.
This superimposition of ages doesn’t create disorder. On the contrary, melting with the naturalistic beauties, it produces serenity. Umbria is an ideal territory to move around in Centre Italy, to reach beautiful places, and visit the main sights in the “Beautiful Italy”. If you stay for enough days in the Umbria you’ll notice that the environment is unpolluted and far from chaos and the cuisine is excellent.
