The Umbria region
Umbria enjoys beautiful warm weather in Spring and Autumn. May is a lovely month, warm temperatures and Green Umbria certainly lives up to its reputation.! Lots of blossoms and wild flowers. A fanatastic time to see Umbria without too many tourists. June offers beautiful warm to hot days. The local village food sagras festivals get into full swing. Fantastic for enjoying balmy evenings and watching the locals enjoying themselves. Throughout June there is always plenty to do and see, and of course there's guaranteed sunshine for just lazing about the gardens and pool. InJuly and August expect emperatures of around 25 to 34 degrees. During these high summer months there are plenty of events to enjoy such as Umbria Jazz (always wise to book tickets in advance!) and may local traditional festas and hilltop town food sagras. September is a perfect month, not too hot, and quieter because there are not so many tourists at popular places such as Todi and Perugia. There are always musical events to be enjoyed during September. For those guests not tied to school holidays we always recommend the months of May, June and September!
The region is steeped in history and the medieval towns of Perugia, Todi, Assisi and Orvieto are within a thirty minute drive on good road. It is possible to do day trips to Rome and Florence using the rail network.
All the nearby historic centres stage special events throughout the year, one of the most famous being the Umbria Jazz Festival in Perugia .This event attracts big names from all around the world.
The Todi / Marsciano area
Schiavo is a small village, five minutes walk from Sant Orsola with three bars (one does takeaway pizza),and a small supermarket.
During the summer months the local villages stage food sagras where local recipes are dished up. There are three good restaurants within a five to ten minute drive. We can always recommend and book restaurants for our guests.
