UMBRIA
Self catering holiday accommodations.
Hamlets, villages and countryside holiday accommodation. Middle
and high class holiday villas, farmhouses and apartments in Gubbio,
Umbertide, Assisi and Valtiberina
Just in the middle of
the Country, The Umbria Region, the so called Heart of Italy,
is the Holy Land that gave nativity to Saint Francis, the Italy's
Patron, and many other Saints of the Middle Age.
The Green Umbria,
the only peninsular region without coastal areas, is a small Region
situated between Lazio, Abruzzo and Tuscany, the Marches and Emilia
Romagna, divided in two provinces: Perugia and Terni. The main
river is the Tiber. The mountains cover 53% of the total surface,
41% the hills and only 6% the plainland, so that this land drains
huge quantity of water to form lakes and numerous springs - to
be mentioned the charming Piediluco lake, the scenic Clitumno
spring and the magnificent Marmore Waterfall, all of incomparable
beauty -. The evergreen valleys run after each other scattered
by little villages and magnificent Medieval beautiful art towns
such as Perugia, Gubbio, Assisi, Spoleto, Todi and Orvieto. All
the other well preserved and mantained centres of cultural, gastronomic
and musical events during the whole year, are worthy to be visited
and lived all the year long. Craft, often at high art levels,
is much spread through this region, with ceramics, iron, copper
and wood handycrafts. The calm and restful environment gives everywhere,
in this Region with human dimension, a sense of relax.

charm by the owner with the help of two famous world-renowned Italian
architects.
