The Umbria region
Known as ‘the Green Heart of Italy’, Umbria has a huge amount to offer it's visitors, as well as being within easy reach of the major cultural centres of Florence, Siena and Rome. Nestled between Tuscany, Marche and Lazio, Umbria has fantastic variety in its beautiful and dramatic landscape, mountainous in the east and rolling hills in the west, from the majestic Monti Sibilini National Park to the welcoming shores of Lago Trasimeno .
Some of Italy's most distinctive medieval towns are to be found in the hill towns of Umbria. Perugia, a 20 minute drive from Villa Primavera, is its largest, most cosmopolitan city, with dozens of galleries, street cafes and historic buildings. Orvieto boasts a proud Etruscan history and a spectacular Gothic cathedral. Assisi, famous as the birthplace of St. Francis and for its magnificent basilica, is one of Umbria's essential sites. Spoleto also has a magnificent cathedral and famous ancient aqueduct.
Umbria is also famous for it's local feste - festivals. Umbria Jazz enlivens Perugia in the summer and Orvieto in the winter. Spoleto is the home of the Festival of Two Worlds (Festival Dei Due Mondi) one of Europe's longest running arts and music festivals. More recently TodiArte has brought festival culture to Todi's summer, while culture of another sort is celebrated each Autumn at Perugia's chocolate festival.
Along with its art festivals Umbrians celebrate a rich variety of historical festivals. Gubbio hosts two of the most famous, the Corsa dei Cieri or the Race of the Candles and a crossbow tournament, the Palio della Balestra, but many Umbrian villages stage their own.
Perugia / Castello delle Forme area
Within a thirty minute drive, you will find the region's capital, Perugia, Lago Trasimeno with its islands, beaches and water activities, Assisi, and, to the south, Todi. Near Todi, is Monte Castello di Vibio, a charming village, which also contains what they describe as "the smallest theatre in the world". During the summer months, the area is buzzing with sagre and feste, which are very italian and not to be missed. Music lovers will be more than happy with the range of events organised locally, often fuori, or outside in the summer months.
