About Umbria

Tucked between Tuscany and Le Marche, Umbria is Italy’s best-kept secret—think rolling hills, medieval towns, and authentic charm without the crowds. Whether you're drawn to Perugia’s lively buzz, Assisi’s spiritual calm, or the hilltop serenity of Todi, there’s a hotel for every vibe. Splash out on a stylish palazzo, unwind in a rustic agriturismo, or cosy up in a family-run B&B. For luxury, try central Perugia; for countryside romance, head to Orvieto or Spello.

Some of our Umbrian Collections:

Umbria is full of history, beauty, and that laid-back Italian charm that makes you want to slow down and soak it all in. You’ve got the hilltop town of Assisi, home of St. Francis, where the basilica’s frescoes are truly breathtaking. Perugia is a vibrant cultural hub, known for its medieval architecture, chocolate, and buzzing summer festivals. Then there’s Orvieto, perched dramatically on a volcanic rock with its stunning cathedral and underground tunnels, and Spoleto, where ancient Roman ruins meet lively arts festivals. Beyond the big names, you’ll find rolling countryside dotted with vineyards, olive groves, and peaceful villages where life moves at a slower pace — perfect for wine tasting, long lunches, and lazy afternoons. Whether you’re into history, art, food, or just relaxing with a view, Umbria has something special waiting around every corner.

Travel information

  • Umbria’s international airport, the Aeroporto International dell’Umbria, Perugia, is midway between Perugia and Assisi, and is served by a handful of international carriers. The next closest airport, Florence’s Amerigo Vespucci, is convenient for northern Umbria, or you might fly into Pisa, the Aeroporto di Pisa, which is served by a greater range of carriers but requires a bit more travel once you enter Italy.
  • If you want to hire a car — which we strongly advise if you’re staying in Umbria and want to see the region's many treasures — we recommend you visit our online partner, Rentalcars.
  • May is particularly beautiful, when the weather is balmy and the wildflowers out. Easter is wonderful but busy. September and October are also dry and sunny, but the hills will be less green. Like its neighbour Tuscany, Umbria is busiest in summer, so if you can visit in either spring or autumn you’ll have a quieter, and probably, more pleasant visit.
