Hotels in Umbria, Italy

Not by chance called the "green heart of Italy", the Umbrian landscape is in effects characterized by beautiful hills, valleys, fields, oliv growes, vineyards, background of the Apennine mountains. In its relatively small territory are concentrated and perfectly combined nature, art and history.

When one tells about history and art in Umbria the mind recalls naturally to the Christian religion for these are the sites of Saint Benedict, Saint Francisco and Jacopone da Todi. The synthesis that allows to understand the force of spirituality during the Middle Age is the basilica of Assisi, where artists as Giotto and Cimabue have left frescoes that represent a fundamental page for the Italian art history. In truth all the region is rich of monastries, convents and basilicas that testify this strong bond with the religion.

Cities in Umbria are mostly villages, that offer valuable history pieces optimally preserved and increased from the surrounding protected landscape: some examples are the Dome of Orvieto in Gotic style, piazza della Signoria in Gubbio, Fontana Maggiore in Perugia. There are many opportunities for who love relax and nature to take long walks or bicycle trips dipped in a landscapes of great fascination as in the Lake Trasimeno park.

Staying in ancient country houses amid olives grows or in small villages set on the hillside will render your vacation in Umbria the most memorable one.
