Umbria is a region of Central Italy, bordered by Tuscany to the west, the Marche to the east and Lazio to the south. This region is mostly hilly or mountainous.

Umbria is also the land of St. Francis, with pilgrims traveling from all over the world to the town of Assisi to pay their respects to St. Francis' birthplace. Assisi is around a two hour train ride from Rome and with the numerous churches, baslicas, galleries and restaurants, Assisi is an attractive day stop for all those who are lodging in Rome.

It isn't fair, we've already said, that the beauty of this land, the endless green of its holm-oak groves, its millenary history, its flavours, its unicity should belong to us only and be something only the resident population should be entitled to enjoy.

And we took the decision to make a guide book to the territory, which could help to discover the beauty of its nature and the thickness of its history, but also its cuisine, its industriousness, its pastimes and why not, its curiosities.

A guide, a compass , which in its descriptions doesn't use exorbitant adjectives, but simply invites the visitors to have a look with their own eyes at the Umbria Country.

We propose you to discover a territory which is characterized by hills warm as the ploughed land, green as the Mediterranean bush, embellished with urban centres small, but all perfect as for city planning, and their burden of history.

Visiting our places one can see clearly the presence of man starting from the Etruscans, or the Umbrians, to the Romans and their whealthy villas, the Middle Age with its many fortresses and castles, the Renaissance and its fabulous paintings and the elegance and eurhythmy of its courtyards.

This superimposition of ages doesn't create disorder. On the contrary, melting with the naturalistic beauties, it produces serenity.

As far as we are concerned, we guarantee that everybody will feel at home. Or even better.

The Umbria is an ideal territory to move around in Centre Italy, to reach beautiful places, and visit the main sights in the " Beautiful Italy". If you stay for enough days in the Umbria you'll notice that the environment is unpolluted and far from chaos, and the cuisine is excellent.
