Tuscany and Umbria

Tuscany

Tuscany is undoubtedly one of the most romantic places in the world! Nothing can surpass the exquisite beauty of the countryside of Tuscany—it is breathtaking. If you meander into the hill towns any time of the year, all your senses are rewarded with the splendors that this enchanting area of Italy has to offer. Almost every hillock is crowned with a picture-perfect walled town; fields are brilliant with vibrant red poppies; vineyards in all their glory; olive trees dress the hillsides in a frock of dusky gray-green.

Pictoresque towns such as Pienza, Montepulciano or Cortona, popular among the Tuscans long before the film “Under the Tuscan Sun” with its stone palazzos, intriguing history and quaint shops are just a sample of many hidden secrets that Tuscany offers.

Umbria

Umbria, like neighboring Tuscany, is covered in rolling hills quilted with cultivated fields, tracts of vineyards, squares of olive groves, and stalks of sunflowers, all stitched together by lines of trees. With its Renaissance splendor, medieval monuments, and art-adorned churches, Umbria has been dubbed “the New Tuscany.”

In this area you will have the chance to enjoy an atmosphere of bygone times, among the medieval paths, the palaces, the castles and the fortresses of charming villages such as: Spoleto, Assisi, Todi, Gubbio, Perugia just to mention a few.
