Assisi

Comprising four one bedroom apartments, the accommodation is designed primarily with couples in mind. Each has its own terrace or garden area, equipped for outdoor dining. Attractively furnished and decorated in subtle pastel shades, each has its own colour scheme and feels more like a home than a holiday apartment. 'Virgilio' and 'Ovidio' are split-level, with a living room on the upper floor benefiting from huge picture windows to make the most of the panoramic views, and a double bedroom and shower room on the lower floor. The other apartment 'Catullo', is arranged all on ground level but offers the same accommodation, as well as direct access to the garden.

Colle San Paolo

Country House Montali is beautifully located with a panorama which seems to stretch for miles over the gentle Umbrian hills that ripple down towards Lake Trasimeno, Tuscany and the Perugia Valley. It sits on the crest of a hill below the Castello dei Montali, 5km by 'white' road above the Colle San Paolo, just south of Lake Trasimeno. With acres of olive groves and woods and a total of just ten rooms in two separate buildings, the bedrooms all have en suite shower rooms and hand-carved teak furniture.

Gubbio

Dating back to the 17th century, this former monastery is situated approximately 500m from the centre of Gubbio, one of the most beautiful medieval towns in Italy. It has been completely transformed into an impressive hotel with spacious public rooms adorned with antique tapestries, frescoes and works by modern Italian masters.
The Olympic-sized indoor heated pool with terrace and the well-equipped gymnasium are available free of charge. This is the perfect base to start your exploration of the enchanting towns in Umbria and Marche.

Panicale

On a hilltop quilted with vines and olive trees this romantic villa offers a refined ambience. The walled Italian garden and the chapel of Santa Lucia give an atmosphere of tranquillity. The restaurant is run by a renowned Italian chef. The superbly stocked wine cellar contains 400 wines. The bedrooms retain many of the villa's original characteristics: large fireplaces, frescoes, ancient terracotta floors and period furniture.

If you want to escape the tourism trail, Umbria is the place for you. Beautiful old towns and rich culture mix with excellent cuisine and fine wines.

. Edging Tuscany and known as the green heart of Italy, Umbria is a picturesque region of woods, streams, valleys and rolling hills. Most visitors to Umbria rent an apartment or private villa or stay in a B&B or agriturismo.

Umbria i known for its walled towns sitting atop of hills. It boasts ancient farmhouses, winding roads, soft hills and the sparkling Lake Trasimeno
Umbria is a beautiful, verdant region of wooded hills, lakes and valleys and is still, despite a growing number of visitors, an unspoilt area. The landscape is dotted with fortified medieval hill towns.

Umbria is bordered by Tuscany to the west, the Marche to the east and Lazio to the south.
The region covers 8,456 km² and has a population of 834,000 (2003 census). The region is named after the Umbri tribe, who settled in the region in the 6th century BC.

Popular resorts in Umbria

Orvieto. Among its many ancient attraction are Orvieto whose origins go back to the Etruscan civilization. The first Etruscan settlements, going back to the 9th Century BC, were found inside the caves in the bedrock upon which today rises the city.

Assisi. With beautiful views out over the lush Umbrian countryside, Assisi, is best know for its connections with St Francis. The town is one of Italy's major pilgrimage centres and the Basilica di San Francesco contains the tomb of the revered saint. The shrine's soaring vaulted ceilings are covered in brightly coloured frescoes, including panels by Giotto depicting the life of St Francis. The nearby Basilica di Santa Chiara is another popular site as this is the burial place of St Clare, St Francis' companion and the founder of the Poor Clares order of nuns.

Porta Nuova. The church of St. Clare of Assisi was built in Italian gothic style between 1257 and 1265, along the road connecting Porta Nuova to St. Francesco.

Piediluco. Piediluco is a picturesque town whose name means "at the foot of the montain". With its appearance which has remained unchanged since the Middle Ages, with its low, small and coloured houses, it is really dislocated in the narrow stretch of land which lies between the lake and the mountain.

Canalicchio. Canalicchio is a tiny 13th century hamlet tucked away in southern Umbria resting on a hilltop in glorious countryside. This picturesque medieval village seems to have shrugged off the passage of time and ways of modern life almost completely.
