The paths across Umbria take you through the "green heart of Italy". This is countryside of rolling hills, olive groves, golden wheat fields and vineyards. You also see outcrops of the Apennines, oak forests and vast grassy meadows carpeted in spring with orchids and narcissi.
Across the open landscape you find a scattering of ancient stone towns and villages with cobble-stoned lanes. Stay in the well-preserved hilltop towns of Orvieto, Montefalco, Perugia and Cortona, all quite different.
This is a hillier route than Tuscany, but you are far from the touristy towns, where people live, play, eat and truly enjoy life. The food and wine are amazing, but most of all, the people are renowned for their hospitality and friendliness. They maintain past traditions as part of their everyday lives. This gives Umbria a unique and timeless quality. Taste the fine wine of Rosso de Montefalco, famous since Roman times, or unique cuisine such as cinghiale and tartufi.
