1. Exploring Umbria
 

We are very keen to give our guests the opportunity to explore our region.  We will therefore be available to give directions, advice and any other assistance our visitors require to enable them to enjoy all that Umbria has to offer.

For those who wish to increase their knowledge of the region, information will also be available in the form of tourist office leaflets, tourist guides and DVDs.


Travelling Umbria, the green heart of Italy, is a journey full of surprises.


In Umbria you learn to know the meaning of beauty. Umbria is the heart of Italy, but not simply for its geog journey full of surprises, continuously suspended between the signs of a well-preserved past and a vocation for the future that is entirely new, that has reawakened Umbria from a torpor that lasted for centuries (from the Renaissance onward, at least), bringing to light a region that is alive and exquisitely beautiful.

Umbria today, reinventing itself fashionable but without overdoing it, has much to offer visitors: sport, culture, museums, epicurean delights, healing waters, and musical events of international renown. Because Umbria is a land of balance, able to assemble a thousand facets and a thousand different souls into a single fresco, a blend of man and nature, intense spirituality and secular pride.

Immersed in an atmosphere of palpable harmony, every stretch of land and every city has its own unique identity, the result of millennia of civilisation that have left dense layers of memory and timeless masterpieces throughout the land:Umbrian, Etruscan, and Roman first; the extraordinary - and in many ways revolutionary - period of the Middle Ages, and then the Renaissance.

In parallel, rural ingeniousness patiently chiselled the environment, reclaiming land, tilling and planting olive groves and vineyards that not only produce prized oils and wines but have become the symbol of the region.

Dotted with medieval towns and silent hermitages, the Umbrian hills have just as much to offer as other regions that may be more famous. In Umbria you need only travel a few kilometres to discover places of unspoilt wilderness, with centuries-old beech woods, deep caves, and mountains populated

by ancient legends. And Umbria is also rich in water: it rises in springs and mountain lakes, runs in rivers that carve impressive rocky gorges, and broadens out into wetlands and man-made lakes that are magically transformed into nature reserves. The Lago Trasimeno, The Nera, Topino, Clitunno river, Marmore Falls, all seem to have been created intentionally to inspire poets and painters. At the end of the journey, one thing is certain: Umbria has a true vocation for beauty.
