Looking for a little something special to wrap up this holiday season? Some suggestions, Made in Italy! (Stocking Stuffers from Italy [Part 1]) →
Trevi is a small medieval borough dozing among the Umbrian hills, here you can taste the famouse Olive Oil DOP from TREVI, the fantastic Red Wine DOC and DOCG, and you can try the funniest Truffles Hunting. Near Assisi in the middle UMbria (Antica Dimora Alla Rocca) →
Umbria, its green fields, smell of the flowers, its medieval towns on the top of a hill from which miles and miles of unique landscapes, its golden sunsets and the way the clouds grab hold of the mountains in the morning. A special place (Locanda del Gallo) →
Umbria, Tuscany, and Lazio can be comfortably explored from Citta' della Pieve, perched on a hilltop 508 metres above sea level, over-looking Lake Trasimeno, and the enchanting Chiana valley. (Hotel Vannucci) →

Umbria at a glance
Pure like the waters of its springs, mystic like its cathedrals, unspoilt like its parks and mountains, vibrant like the jazz music which fills its piazzas, genuine and generous like its people.
Many of those visiting Umbria come to the conclusion that St. Francis, the great, gentle, and poetic Saint of content and simplicity, known for his love of the natural world, could not possibly have been born anywhere else. Indeed there is no lack of religious sentiment in this "spiritual heart of Italy", the enchanting green landscapes of which are dotted with any number of ancient chapels, churches, and abbeys. This small, land-locked region is rich in little hill towns and beautifully preserved Medieval cities, each and every one conserving stunning works of art and architecture, and its own unique gastronomic traditions.
