Umbria Hidden Italy - Off the Beaten Track

Umbria Hidden Italy – Off the Beaten Track

 

Head for the UNESCO hilltop town of Spoleto, nestled in the foothills of the Apennine Mountains in the province of Umbria. Our hotel, the Hotel Dei Ducci, lies in the heart of this hidden gem enabling us to explore its medieval centre, whilst making it the perfect base for exploring the surrounding area. En route we visit Siena, a beautifully preserved city surrounded by olive groves and vineyards, best known for the dramatic the Piazza del Campo.

We take the opportunity to relax and enjoy Spoleto or explore the Roman Theatre and Piazza del Mercato, taking you back in time to the 1^st century BC. The Duomo di Santa Maria Assunta towers above the town and contains numerous masterpieces, whilst the nearby Ponte delle Torri, a monumental viaduct, offers gorgeous panoramic views of the rich vegetation in the surrounding valleys and hills. We visit the town of Assisi, birthplace and pilgrimage site of the famed St Francis of Assisi. The awe-inspiring Basilica of St. Francis was consecrated in 1253 and portrays the incredible life of St. Francis and his lasting legacy. Its crypt houses the saint’s stone sarcophagus.

We visit the beautiful medieval, hilltop town of Orvieto with its stunning Duomo façade. We have time to explore followed by an amazing multi-course lunch at the family run Bruno’s Trattoria before returning for our last night in Spoleto.
