UMBRIA

Nestled between Rome and Florence, is the “green heart of Italy.” Umbria is the lesser known sister to Tuscany and has a quiet beauty, with all of the charm but without the crowds. It is a patchwork of verdant valleys and wooded hilltops, home to ancient hamlets, castles and medieval walled villages.

With its hilltop towns and ancient castles, Umbria is steeped in history, art and culture. The ancient abbeys and monasteries remind us this is land of “Terra dei Santi,” of the Saints Francis of Assisi, Clare and Benedict.
