The “green heart of Italy” is now known as much as her neighbouring sister Tuscany. And right so. It has a multitude of beautiful and intimate hill towns, it is much more understated than Tuscany, it has a contemplative, almost mystical feel.
Umbria is the only Italian region that borders neither the sea nor another country, this way keeping alive the old Italian traditions.
You’ll see the old folks sitting on chairs in front of their houses, old men playing cards in the square, houses that haven’t ever been locked. Scenery can be glorious in Umbria, the olive groves above all, the vineyards, the mountains, the hazy horizons.
A silent region where food, wine, art and architecture excel. It is the land of the saints, St. Francis, St. Benedict, St. Valentine were born here.
There is something about Umbria that sets it apart, less crowded than Tuscany, a different light, the morning hazes that transform it into a dream country, the locals…come and visit and you’ll find out.
Arrive at Rome airport and transfer to your hotel.
Some time for an afternoon stroll, welcome meeting and drink, getting to know your guides.
