Umbria is a region of Central Italy, bordered by the Marches, Tuscany and Lazio. Umbria's predominantly hilly terrain makes it the only region on the peninsula with no access to the sea.
Stone villages that seem to be real nativity scenes. Fortresses and castles on the hilltops. Convents surround by greenery as if suspended in an ancient silence. These are the main ingredients of Umbria: an exquisite region that seems designed to stir timeless emotions. A land set in the heart of the boot that knows how to play a starring role in the varied Italian tourism scene. It is the ideal place for those who are fascinated by nature, mysticism and history (especially Medieval).
There are countless masterpieces that adorn even the region's smallest towns. This is another source of Umbria's seduction: that it is a “spread-out museum” with art and history that is not the exclusive prerogative of large towns and museums.
A small region with big flavours, Umbria has something to fully satisfy every palate. Its dishes range from freshwater fish (eel and perch stew) to the pride of regional gastronomy: the pig.
