EXPERIENCES

Italy’s green heart, Umbria is a land unto itself.

Umbria is a region of rolling hills, vineyards, olive groves, and medieval walled towns on seemingly every hilltop—each with its own historic central square, narrow cobblestone streets, stunning cathedrals, and special character.

 

Day trips throughout Umbria are a great way to experience Umbria and its unique culture, history, food, wine and people. In addition to exploring the pristine nearby medieval village of Corciano, a short walk or drive from Palazzo Grande, guests are encouraged to explore the region by taking some or all of these recommended day trips.
