Why choose Umbria?
The green heart of Italy, where silence speaks
Less famous than its neighbour Tuscany, but perhaps all the more irresistible for it: Umbria is Italy at its purest. A region where the rhythm of life still follows the seasons, where medieval villages blend seamlessly into the hills, and where you feel like you’re discovering something not everyone has found—yet.
Timeless beauty
Umbria is often called the green heart of Italy—and rightly so. Rolling hills, dense forests, shimmering lakes like the Lake Trasimeno or the Valnerina, as well as the endless vineyards form the backdrop of a landscape that feels like a deep breath. This is not a place to be seen, but to truly see. Hilltop towns like Spoleto, Montefalco, Todi, and Orvieto sparkle quietly, each with its own personality, cuisine, and story. Besides the greenery the region reflects beauty on it's Romanesque churches, Etruscan ruins and medieval fortresses, the historic architecture in cities gives a little switch to the holiday surrounded by greenery and nature.
A sense of stillness
There’s something in the air in Umbria—a calm that feels not only physical but spiritual. It’s no coincidence that Saint Francis of Assisi found his path here. The sacred sites in and around Assisi still carry a serene power. But even beyond the pilgrim trails, you’ll feel it: the hush of an olive grove, the golden light through a cypress tree, the quiet presence of a countryside chapel.

A cuisine of quiet confidence
Umbrian cuisine is humble, yet full of character. Truffles from Norcia, lentils from Castelluccio, full-bodied wines like Sagrantino di Montefalco—these are flavours that don’t shout, but linger. Try the renowned Umbrian olive oil which is considered among Italy’s finest, not only for its rich flavor but also for the deep roots it has in local life and tradition. Meals are shared in trattorias where hospitality comes naturally, and where the view is as important as the plate in front of you.
