The Umbria region
The Upper Tiber Valley or "Valtiberina" is a wonderful part of Italy still very unspoilt and very Italian. Umbria has an array of wonderful places to visit with towns such as Perugia and Citta di Castello, and more wonderful hilltop villages and towns then you can possibly visit. Being right on the Tuscan, Umbrian border it is ideally situated for visiting both of these areas.
The Upper Tiber Valley is historically quite a wealthy area through tobacco farming and crafts such as carpentry for example and hence the towns are very well preserved and looked after. From May to November there are an array of festivals happening in the region, which is still very traditional and proud of its roots. During the spring and summer there are flower festivals and music festivals throughout the region and in October and November the autumn festivals with local produce such as wild boar, porcini mushrooms and truffles.

Guestbook for Villa Quercia
"We have had a great time in your beautiful house!!! What an amazing view all the way to Petrelle and even further. We managed to see quite a bit but almost had to drag the children from the pool because if it had been up to them we would have only seen the pool! Thank you so much for a lovely week and all the ideas (jazz in Perugia) we got. We definitely hope to come back" - July 09 - Matthezing Family - The Hague - Netherlands
