This is where the journey becomes magical, where enchantment, interest and curiosity have no end, as a village, a church, a hermitage, a gate, a castle, a spring, a forest or a person you stop to talk to open up new horizons and new destinations before your very eyes.

Come to where you’ll feel embraced by gentle and fascinating natural surroundings, with seductive itineraries that are never crowded, to be carried out on foot, on a bicycle or even on horseback. Let yourself be tempted by the excitement of hand gliding, rock climbing, caving, a ride on the rapids, sailing or canoeing on the lakes.

Cities on a human scale, towns frozen in time, fortified villages, castles, fortresses, hermitages and farmhouses appear everywhere you look. Umbria is both a city and region at the same time, offering unique sur-prises. You can find yourself in the middle of a concert in a park or sud-denly running into ladies and gentlemen in period dress during historic re-enactments of traditional games and tournaments.

Umbria’s passion for art has continued over time, nourishing the mastery of expert craftsmen who work with ceramic, wrought iron, copper, wood, or leather, or weave rope and baskets in their workshops. And lace con-tinues to be made with the same love and skill of yesteryear.

A visit to Umbria means embarking on an inner journey on a personal search for values and a desire for peace.

Well-being continues at the table with the area’s tasty and genuine foods that are never ostentatious, accompanied by high quality Doc and Docg local wines.

Arriving in Umbria it is like entering a large park where the air is clear and clean and the climate is mild, where it’s easy to get around and park, where it’s easy to find the information you need to plan your time pursu-ing your interests, or let yourself be tempted by the myriad of options.
