UMBRIA & TUSCANY
Umbria and Tuscany are, without a doubt, two of Italy’s most beautiful regions. And they have a lot in common. Both are famed for their rolling hills and vineyards, medieval hilltowns and fantastic food. They’re also right next to each other, located right in the center of Italy.
UMBRIA – The green heart of central Italy, a land where there are still remains of Etruscan settlements, iconic towns such as Gubbio and spiritual destinations such as Assisi, all in a luxuriant natural context. Umbria boasts the highest number of Mediaeval villages in Italy, set between hills and valleys where Lake Trasimene spreads out romantically with the stillness of its waters. Water is synonymous with energy and movement at the Marmore Waterfalls, near Terni, among the most striking in Europe.
TUSCANY is a unique historical treasure trove throughout the region: over and above Florence, this region is rich in cities of art such as Siena and Pisa, as well as small, picturesque villages, extraordinary and stunning views, rural countryside and gentle hills. All this is joined by magnificent islands and splendid coasts, protected parks and, last but not least, simple cuisine with genuine flavours and wines that rank among the finest in the world.
