Centrally located Umbria's principal cities include Spoleto, Assisi, and Terni. The capital, Perugia, is famed for its chocolate. Take a tour bus or prepare for daredevil Italian drivers if you opt to rent a car. Assisi's Basilica has a host of treasures, including works by Giotto. The town is also home to the crypt of St. Clare, patron saint of television. St. Francis' meditation retreat is in the mountains to the north. Classes at Velia's Cooking Style in Terni make good use of local produce.

The Relais Ripa is located near Ripa's ancient castle, just in front of Assisi. It is the ideal place where you can relax and regenerate yourself with SPA service, in contact with the most unspoiled nature, and far from the daily routine of frenetic life with SPA service and . The Relais is at only few minutes by car from the most beautiful art cities of Umbria (Perugia, Gubbio, Montefalco, Spoleto, Todi ...) And Ripa is within easy reach of the wild green of Valnerina and Tiber valleys and of the silver hills of Trasimeno Lake and Tuscany. During your holiday you will experience the old traditions both cultural and eno-gastronomic of Italy's green heart.
We stayed here for 3 nights in June, choosing the hotel based on the good reviews and the location. We were not disappointed, the estate is simply stunning, beautiful buildings, flowers and olive trees! Our room was simply furnished but extremely comfortable, and came with their own olive oil soaps, shower gel and body lotion which are fantastic! The pool was clean and the sunbeds were very comfortable, there is a small pool bar also with a few snack and drink options. The breakfast system worked well for us, due to covid there is no buffet currently, instead you message the team via WhatsApp the evening before with what you would like, choosing from a wide range of savoury and sweet options. When you're at breakfast you can ask for additional items as well - the homemade cake is a highlight! We ate at the restaurant multiple nights as the food was so good, the menu isn't large but everything is perfectly cooked and uses local ingredients. There is also a bar with views over the countryside and of Assissi which was the perfect spot for aperitivo! The whole team were excellent, really friendly and helpful, we will be staying here the next time we are in Umbria for sure!

Giomici Castle is definitely an ideal place for your vacation in Umbria! This magical castle dates back to the eleventh century and has been carefully and meticulously renovated to provide modern accommodation in a truly enchanting environment. It is strategically located on top of a hill overlooking the beautiful Chiascio Valley; between Perugia, Gubbio and Assisi. Along with peace, relaxation and serenity, we also offer the ideal base from where you can easily discover one of the most beautiful regions of Italy. Here you can spend an unforgettable holiday at the castle and beyond...
We thoroughly enjoyed our five nights as lord and lady of Castle Di Giomici! It is a beautiful castle in a fantastic and peaceful location. Well located for exploring central Umbria it made an ideal base. Breakfasts provided a good selection and the dinner we ate in the castle was very tasty! It is good quality bed and breakfast in a location fit for a boutique (and far more expensive) hotel. As such it provides incredible value for money. Strongly recommend!

Finding a beautiful location in an old farm is rather easy in this part of Italy and indeed hte Tenuta dei Ricordi is really attractive. What gives it the highest score is the service, definitely above the average. Tje owner is very very kind and helpful, she welcomes the guests with home-made cakes, provides information and takes care of every detail, making your holiday really perfect. We had a large apartment, with even a fireplace, fully equipped with antique furnitures. There is a swimming pool, children playground and a lot of space for relaxing, if you are not too busy visiting the many historical sites in the nearby. Last but not least, the value-for-money is very very good.

The Palazzo was built in 1500 and at the beginning of the 19th Century completely restored.With much love and respect for the dignity of the Palazzo created the owner from 2004 to 2005 three apartments and two luxury suites with a stunning terrace with a panoramic view over the lake Trasimeno and the Umbrian-Tuscan landscape. All guests of the palazzo can also enjoy the 2 km distant countryhouse of the owner with large swimming pool, sunloungers and parasols.
Thank you Mario for another wonderful stay. The appartment is fabulous and well equipped. Beautiful terrace and the use of a pool at Mario's other location. Brilliant location in a beautiful town. Mario is welcoming and helpful. We will be back again next year.

Beautiful place, beautiful people, wonderful food! Thanks to Silvio Marcella, Gabriele Martina and Roberta for looking after us so well. Made us feel so welcome and nothing was to much trouble for them. The apartments are 5 minute walk to Arrone, lovely medieval town full of character and history. We will definitely return.

The country guesthouse La Palazzetta di Assisi is located in the heart of Umbria, precisely in Sterpeto di Assisi, on the Western side of the hills that gently stretch from Assisi towards the Chiascio river. An oasis of peace and tranquillity, where you can taste and discover the beauties of our region.
This is the perfect place if you want some relaxation. Easy to reach and not too isolated. The owners were very kind and had a lot of suggestions on what to visit and where to eat. The flat was recently renovated and it has everything you need, included a kitchen area and a small garden outside. The swimming pool during summer is fantastic just like the landscape. I highly reccomend it.

La Palombaia is situated on the edge of a small village in the Umbrian countryside, 10 minutes from Spoleto, an ideal base for further exploration of surrounding cultural centers in the hearth of Italy. This ancient villa, recently restored, comprises four independent apartments stone built. Every home (for 2, 4 and 6 persons) has antique furniture and every modern comfort. Internet access, parking, splendid walled courtyards and gardens, barbecue and free bicycles (cycle-track Spoleto-Assisi nearby).
If you are walking the Via Francigena from Rome to Assisi, this B&B is a perfect stop in between Spoleto and Trevi. Cinzia is a wonderful host. We were arriving from Spoleto on foot and she contacted us to ask us if we needed her to pick us up, because it was very hot outside. She has been very caring and her and her husband are very kind people. The structure is beautiful and at a very affordable price. They also have a little shop to buy fruit and fresh food and a bar. Cinzia's mother prepared a very nice dinner for us and it fell just like home. We also met Pimpinella, the cute goat! I would like to return! Very very nice place! Thank you Cinzia!
