Postignano is a fortified medieval hill village. It was cleared after the 1963 earthquake. A private individual renovated it following the original urban layout, reusing the stones of the damaged buildings and following the current anti-seismic criteria. Today the village has reborn: it has a widespread hotel which is also a charming hotel, a beauty farm and art exhibitions. I recommend you to visit it!

This area at Christmas has a life size Nativity scene. Worth the stop as you visit the basilica. Consider that Francis is credited with starting the custom of setting up Nativity creches in the churches in Italy

We live in Umbria and had only passed through Todi after a day spent in Orvieto. We promised ourselves that we would return to Todi and spend a day exploring its churches and other monuments. Today, we finally did it, and it was worth it. The historic center of Todi is not very big and, surprisingly, not terribly hilly or steep, so you can walk there quite easily. If you're in Umbria and have a chance, definitely spend a half-day or day in Todi!!!

Montefalco was recommended by our hosts in Spoleto as a good example of a restored walled town with adequate parking, great wine shops and cafes, and without the hassle of large tour groups. It turned out to be a perfect spot for quiet sightseeing with wonderful views across the region from the viewing area at the top of the town. Recommended.
