Hill towns, frescoes and quiet valleys in Italy’s green heart, with private guides and drivers.
Umbria sits between Rome and Florence but feels a world away from both: hill towns of stone, frescoed churches, olive groves and the quiet valleys of the Valnerina.
Our 8-day Umbria itinerary starts in Rome and ends at Florence airport, with private guides in the main towns and a countryside hotel near Perugia. Part of our team is based in Umbria.
