Umbria is known as the green heart of Italy and is a land that time forgot. Tranquil, timeless & untouched, Umbria’s landscape remains virtually unchanged since the great masters such as Perugino, Luca Signorelli and Piero della Francesca lived there. Birthplace of Francis of Assisi and St. Benedict, there is a spiritual element to Umbria and also a rich artistic & cultural inheritance. It’s major towns such as Perugia, Todi, Assisi, Gubbio and Orvieto abound with magnificent works of art and the countryside abounds with rolling hills, olive groves, golden corn and fields of sunflowers.
