A good selection of villas and apartments in Umbria, with some stunning locations, we highly recommend a visit to this region
Read moreRenowned as the country's green heart, Umbria boasts a rich combination of rolling countryside, dense forests, medieval hill towns and an inky blue lake - making it a unique destination to visit if you like history, culture and relaxing amid nature. This pretty spot is the only Italian region that doesn't border the sea or another country, with only Tuscany, Lazio and Le Marche for neighbours - meaning its olde-worlde charm is still very much intact. Foodies will be in for a treat too, since this destination is popular for its local cuisine, particularly foraged truffles and wines - so don't forget to bring your appetite!
We have a selection of apartments and villas in Umbria that boast stunning locations, whether you're searching for properties with swimming pools and large blooming gardens or panoramic views over the rolling hills from your bedroom window. With properties covering a host of resort towns including Lake Tresimeno, Perugia, Gubbio, Citta di Castello, Todi, Orvieto, plus south and central areas, you'll find villas in Umbria to rent whether you're travelling with family, a partner or with a group of friends.
It may not be as popular as neighbouring resort Tuscany, but Umbria certainly has a lot to shout about when it comes to things to see and do. If you like to tick off the local landmarks while you're away, the Duomo at Orvieto is a good place to start - this 14th-century Italian Gothic style cathedral is as ornate as they come, its façade detailed with delicate gold mosaics and a large rose window. If you like to be more active, head to Lake Trasimeno and make a splash with watersports such as windsurfing, kitesurfing and wakeboarding, or simply relax on a few of the lakeside beaches. In the evening, Umbria's main city Perugia has a vibrant atmosphere with Gothic architecture, boutique shops, cosy eateries and the beautiful Fontana Maggiore - a biblical marble fountain centrepiece.
