Your guide to Umbria holidays

Top attractions
Indulge in impossibly fresh food and flavourful wine on your Umbria holidays. Its culinary traditions are one of the region’s top attractions. Orvieto is famed for its wine production, and you can visit a vineyard or take part in a cookery course here. Explore Umbria’s humble charms in its hilltop villages and towns, which feature narrow cobblestone streets and rustic villas. Towns like Spello are pedestrian-only, making them a pleasure to explore on foot. You can view 13th-century murals in Spello’s Church of Santa Maria Maggiore or Giotto’s famous painted frescoes in Assisi’s Basilica of San Francesco.
The capital of Umbria is Perugia, which features Byzantine churches, the National Gallery of Umbria and a number of medieval palaces. Its historic centre dates back to Etruscan times, making the city rich with culture and history. You can also visit Umbria’s natural attractions including Italy’s highest waterfall, the Falls of Marmore, and the mineral springs of Collina de Benessere Park.

Beaches
Although Umbria is a landlocked region, you can still get a taste of the Italian beach life by visiting Lake Trasimeno. It’s central Italy’s largest lake, ringed with attractive beaches where you can soak up the sun or take a cool dip in the clear waters. There are nine beaches in total, located in Castiglione del Lago, Trasimeno, Magione and Passignano. All offer typical amenities including sun loungers, umbrellas, cafes and snack bars. The lake’s waters are monitored carefully to ensure they’re clean and safe, making this a top spot for swimming in the summer months.
Get out on the water by renting a canoe, sailboat or pedal boat during your Umbria holidays. With brisk breezes, Lake Trasimeno is the ideal spot to learn how to sail. Stay in a lakeside villa or resort hotel to make the most of Umbria’s beaches. A number of charming medieval villages are situated around the lake offering panoramic views.
