The Umbria region
Umbria is known as the green heart of Italy, with good reason. It has a moderate climate with enough rainfall to create beautiful verdant landscape but with plenty of warm sunshine to ripen the grapes and olives.
Here you will find Italian food at its best, with numerous restaurants to try, or simply buy produce in the local market to cook yourself.
The area is steeped in history with a wealth of fascinating architecture, from powerful castles to rustic farmhouses. You can come back time and time again and always find something new to see.
The Migliano area
Migliano is a hilltop village surrounded by magnificent rolling countryside just above the Tiber Valley. At the top of the hill is an ancient castle, most of which is still intact with a courtyard and archways. At one end foundations were found and and these have been excavated to display the remains of rooms, arches and ducting, probably dating back to Roman times. The walls of the castle have recently been renovated and now provide a spectacular walkway running round the perimeter, ideal for a stroll before evening dinner.
Within the castle is a very nice restaurant called Al Menestrello, which serves typical Umbrian dishes. Migliano has an annual festival which lasts about a week and attracts hundreds of guests who dine on the terraces and dance the night away to a local band.
There are many places to visit and within a 45 minute drive you will find -
Lake Trasimeno (the fourth largest lake in Italy)
Spoleto (Two World Festivals and famous ancient aquaduct)
Deruta (home of Majolica ceramics)
Bevagna ('Gaite' Ancient Crafts Fair)

Within 90 minutes drive are -
Gubbio (The Ceri Race and Roman amphitheatre)

We went to L'Incanto on our honeymoon in August 2011. We were looking for a quiet bothole where we could shut ourselves off from the world, but that we could easily use as a base for day trips... more |

A really comfortable cottage in a quite village not far from a town with a good market and shops. A great base for discovering the beauty of Umbria. With the added bonous of a 2 minute walk to a friendly restaurant in the castle. Response: Thank you for your review. We hope you will return one day. Regards Graham and Lin |
