Holidays in Umbria

An introduction to Umbria

If you fancy combining sightseeing with glorious Italian landscapes, holidays to Umbria couldn't be more perfect. For this beautiful region edging Tuscany is a stunning tapestry of timeless medieval towns, lush green forests and rolling hills – heaven for pleasure-filled pottering holidays.

Topping the list of holiday attractions in Umbria are its jewel-like walled towns. Perched on gentle hillsides, these medieval gems blend cobbled streets, magical piazzas and historic churches with intimate trattorias, all ideal for mooching and browsing. And all around is enchanting countryside. Boasting ancient farmhouses, winding roads, soft hills and sparkling Lake Trasimeno, the region's a wonderful backdrop to lazing by a pool, sipping wine and dining on rustic Italian cuisine.

But don't think Umbria's all the same – each town has its own aura. For a luxury holiday, tranquil Canalicchio or the grand dame of Umbrian sightseeing, Assisi, will return your investment big time. For couples holidays, fairytale Gubbio couldn't be better. And for families, why not choose a property with a pool in Passignano?
