Umbria, Perugia
The area of Perugia is a wonderful place to be based for a holiday. Perugia itself is a colourful hilltop town with a vibrant student population and a lively cultural program. Nearby Assisi is popular and the Franciscan Trail and Benedictine abbeys are wonderful excursions and the numerous hilltop towns including Todi, citta di Castello, Massa Martana, Spello and countless others are wonderful to explore.
Umbria, one of the smallest regions of Italy, has a wealth of natural, cultural and artistic wonders that make up for its landlocked state. The province of Perugia in its centre is caracterised by mountains, rolling hills, medieval villages and of flowing rivers and streams heading down beautiful valleys towards its main lake, Trasimeno. The patchwork farms with healthy vineyards, colourful sunflowers and shady olive groves, are testament to its strong agricultural traditions whilst the ancient castles, towers and walled cities attest to its rich cultural history.
