Italy
Sun-drenched Umbria
overview
This Self-Guided Walking Adventure ambles through Italy’s unspoiled “green heart,” a fertile region of olive groves and vineyards not yet overrun by visitors, although it offers some of the best eating experiences and local wines in the world. Your journey here will carry you deep into history, from Etruscan and Roman ruins to important medieval and Renaissance sites. Don’t miss the St. Francis Basilica in Assisi, or the impressive Minerva Temple in the town’s classic Piazza del Comune. Walk the Franciscan trail to Monte Subasio National Park and the town of Satriano, where nearby footpaths take you through pasturelands, oak forests, deep gorges, and villages where encounters with local residents spice up your day. Stroll within the ancient walls of Spello, one of the region’s best-preserved medieval towns. Relax at family-run hotels and sample black truffles, fresh olive oils, and delicious Umbrian specialties paired with superb local vintages like the region’s acclaimed Orvietos.
