Sometimes referred to as ‘the green heart of Italy’, Umbria is a small, hilly and fairly untouched region between Tuscany and Marche. The landscape is similar to that of Tuscany and combines austere Medieval architecture and stone farmhouses with gently rolling hills and rivers. Umbria is a mountainous landlocked region with many lakes and with a Mediterranean climate; hot dry summers and cool winters which provide a beautiful and romantic setting for the winter holidays.

Places to visit:

LAKE TRASIMENO: is the fourth largest lake of Italy with its sailing, windsurf, and pleasure cruises on the lake. Is contained within the Trasimeno Regional Park, and serves as a seasonal home to many species of migrating birds.

THE “TERME DI FONTECCHIO”: first class thermal baths - cold waters with a medium mineral density of alkaline-sulphur bicarbonate, suited to treating respiratory, circulatory, muscular-skeletal, gastro-enteric, nervous apparatuses and skin problems.

PERUGIA: Perugia dominates the Tiber Valley from a high, irregular and rough hill: the particular feature of the land has generated a wide variety of urbanistic situations, giving the town a very special aspect.
The rich artistic and cultural patrimony and the natural environment make Perugia an unique city of major importance, and this from the beginning of its history.
Perugia lies on a hill inhabited ever since the prehistoric times; it was first a settlement of the Umbrians, then it passed under the rule of the Etruscans, becoming one of the most important cities in the High Tiber Valley. Proud of its historical traditions and the beautiful buildings of the past, Perugia lets itself be admired in its thousand picturesque corners where present and past integrate one another and create an unforgettable atmosphere.
