Experiences in Umbria

Overview

A step back in time, an escape from the rush of modern life, an echo of a bygone era, all of these phrases help to perfectly sum up Umbria. It’s own bubble, bordering neither the sea or another country, it’s a magical region of truly authentic Italy.

Expect isolated hilltop towns nestled among rolling hills, built there in medieval times and looking as if they haven’t changed in all those years. Wandering through their streets you’ll see residents rolling pasta by hand, neighbours walking freely into friends’ houses, and a sense of community that is dying out all over the world.

Then there’s the natural beauty and the fantastic food it produces, as dogs hunt for truffles, wild boar roam and vines grow in the incredible countryside. The result? Homely and exquisitely balanced pasta and stews, combined with wholesome, world-class wines.

    Best Time to Visit Umbria

    General
    See more photos

    Your best bet for visiting Umbria is, like Tuscany, in the Spring and Autumn. Although not as busy as its more popular neighbour, you’re still more likely to encounter crowds of tourists and baking temperatures in the summer, particularly in August.

    In the winter, Umbria is beautiful and quiet. However, as it’s a little less popular than Tuscany, you may find many shops, restaurants and attractions closed, so plan with care. That said, the snow-dusted streets and local hangouts will be all yours, and the area can feel truly magical.

    • In many cases, less than 10% of the money spent on a holiday actually ends up in the pockets of the local community. Tourism leakage is a serious problem, and it means many people are not able to reap the benefits of the tourism happening in their own back yard. We work with small, local suppliers and ensure that they receive a fair amount for every holiday we sell.

    • The climate is changing, and the travel industry is a key frontier in this battle. On the one hand, pollution from travel, erosion from over-tourism, and waste from careless travelling can make the problem much worse. But on the other hand, travel affords unique opportunities to help people connect with the natural environment in a close-up, personal way, and support locals in protecting their local environment. We are committed to offering experiences that match our sustainability criteria.

    We educate and provide guidance to travellers, hosts and agents.

    • Travel can help build a better world, but it has to be done properly. We are not just finding experiences that are better for local communities and better for the planet. We are committed to helping everyone travel better. From the moment they book with us until the moment they arrive home, we actively help our travellers with resources and guidance. This helps them travel more mindfully, and ultimately, offers a deeper, more rewarding experience.
