The Umbria region
Umbria is a region of Central Italy, bordered by Tuscany to the west, the Marche to the east, Lazio to the south and Emilia Romagna to the North. This region is mostly hilly or mountainous, and described as the 'Green heart of Italy' as so much of It's landscape is luscious benefiting from the banks of the Tiber River and valley.
With rolling green expanses of olive grove and vineyard, woods of beech, oak and pine and craggy mountains, it earns its name, but has some lovely towns, and is famous for its hill towns. Completely landlocked, Umbria has beaches on the expansive Lake (Lago) Trasimeno in the north of the region. Towns and villages in Umbria include Perugia, Terni, Spoleto, Assisi, Gubbio, Orvieto, Spello, Todi, Narni, Montefaclo and Foligno.
Perugia / Castello delle Forme area
Perugia retains a fine medieval centre, access to the Palace and centre via sets of escalators ascending through the Cattacombs of the original City. The city is Vibrant, and enjoys a rather buzzing Umbrian style - The large student population considerably adds to the cosmopolitan nature, as does the summer Umbria Jazz festival, held in July every year.
Castello delle Forme is a hill top village half an hours drive from Perugia. Overlooking the magnificent Tiber valley with views of Deruta and Torgiano, it's a walled castle village with bell tower and newly restored ancinet church. Fantsatic restaurants are reached only ten minutes away, and bars and a pizzeria (ready Summer 08) all in walking distances from the property.
How to get there
Tucked away in the peace of the Umbrian hillside is Castello delle Forme, a walled castle hill top village - Oliveto is located on one of the quiet roads on the way out of the village.
