Umbria villas for rent - the treasure in the center of Italy
No matter what your reason for choosing
Umbria villas and vacation rentals -
curiosity, a sense of adventure, a desire to explore the connections between the
past and the present - congratulations! You are about to set off on a journey
into a unique, unspoiled area of Italy that is filled with light, warmth,
culture and inspiration that spark your imagination and ignite your passion.
If you've been looking for
Umbria holiday rentals online, you've no doubt
come across the phrase, "The Green Heart Of Italy" when describing the charms of
this region.
Umbria's heart is a rich green. The region is well known for
its lush landscape. From the sky, Umbria's patchwork of farmland covering its
verdant hills is like Mother Nature's quilt! Its fertile land yields fields of
bright sunflowers, ripe olives, luscious grapes, smoky truffles and tangy
sheep's milk cheese.
Your
Umbria holiday rental - whether you choose a
villa, farm house or apartment - becomes your base to explore not only Italy's
most famous treasures, but also the hidden gems of this region still untouched
by mass tourism.
Perugia has a rich history - and a creamy chocolate
center! Home to world-famous Perugina, makers of Baci "kisses," Perugia hosts
the Chocolate Festival every October. Of course, Perugia also has its share of
must-see cultural treasures, but another big draw to this picturesque city is
the Umbria Jazz festival. It draws the biggest names in music as well as a
sizable crowd of jazz enthusiasts.
Perhaps the most well known town in
Umbria is Assisi, the literal and spiritual home of St. Francis. However, this
stunning hilltop town also boasts a half dozen notable churches, and not one but
two medieval castles.
The third jewel in Umbria's crown is Orvieto. Built
on volcanic rock, the city's extensive network of centuries-old underground
tunnels provides a unique perspective of its history.
Finally, don't
overlook the scenery of Lake Trasimeno, dotted with picturesque towns and
imposing castles.
While Umbria's most popular cities are accessible by
Italy's Eurostar high-speed train network, one of the charms of Umbria villa
rentals is that they provide a hidden oasis far away from the hordes of
tourists. So, renting a car in Umbria will definitely be your best bet in order
to get the most out of your vacation in style and comfort.
No matter
which city you choose as a base for your perfect Umbria holiday, you're sure to
be seduced by the charms and timeless beauty of this hidden treasure of the
Italian countryside - and your
Umbria villa rental becomes your home away from
home.
