A villa holiday in Umbria is defined by peace and tranquility amidst scenery of outstanding natural beauty. Our Umbrian villa collection consists of authentic farmhouses, restored to five star standard, all with private swimming pools.
INTRODUCTION
A villa holiday in Umbria is the perfect choice for those who wish to experience the incredible natural beauty of Italy. Blessed with steep hills, deep valleys, fast flowing rivers and renowned for its ‘black diamonds’ (truffles), Umbria has surprisingly not yet been spoilt by tourism and the pace is delightfully unhurried. The pastoral landscapes and Renaissance hilltop towns of Umbria provide some of the most magnificent views and prove that central Italy does not start and finish with Tuscany.
Perugia, the capital of the region, is one of the best preserved hilltowns of its size. The town’s main attraction is the Collegio del Cambio, a series of elaborate rooms at Banker’s Guild Hall. The walls inside were frescoed by Pietro Vannucci, the most important Perugian painter of the Renaissance. Assisi is rich in art and architecture but is probably best known as the resting place of St Francis, the patron saint of Italy. Assisi is one of the most important pilgrimage sites in the Christian world. Spoleto in Northern Umbria is a most inviting town, usually sleepy until the Festival dei Due Mondi descends for three weeks of world class theatre, music, opera, sculpture and painting throughout the town from mid June to mid July. Todi and Orvieto also stand out as pretty hilltop towns with fine views over green verdant valleys.
Our villas in Umbria are delightfully restored farmhouses, such as Il Fagiano and Casa del Lago. I Tigli is the ideal holiday home for golf lovers, with the Antognolla course on the doorstep, within easy reach by golf buggy. Our Umbrian villa collection also includes the prestigious Castello di Reschio estate, a superb collection of fully serviced villas.
