Region guide

Why we love it

Located in central Italy and often referred to as Italy's green heart, Umbria is famous for its dense forests, vast empty landscapes and trapped in time vibe. Unspoilt villages perch on hilltops and little discovered artistic treasures lie in wait.

Discover the medieval walled city of Perugia, or the enchanting hilltop towns of Todi, Orvieto, Assisi and Citta di Castello. Head to Castiglione del Lago, a picturesque town set above the peaceful shores of Lake Trasimeno. Or take in the breath-taking waterfalls of Terni.

Wherever you choose to stay, this peaceful region is bound to enchant with its old world and natural charms. Explore the guides below for a more detailed overview of each town and area or pick up the phone to talk with one of our team of experts.
