Umbria ITALY The small region of Umbria is a place where good food, great landscapes and a quiet pace of life are the recipe for a perfect holiday. Various towns and villages are spread across this green, pastoral region and all of these have their own distinct charisma. The largest city in Umbria, Perugia, effortlessly maintains
the cosy charm and personal feel that is guaranteed to relax all your senses. Wander around old-fashioned streets and gaze at beautiful buildings like the Palazzo dei Priori and the cathedral, both of which can be found at the Piazza IV Novembre. Heading out to explore the Umbrian countryside,
you’ll come across the most magnificent sites. East of Perugia, you’ll find the village of Assisi. The birthplace of one of the most venerated religious figures in Christianity, St Francis, this place is today the home of a majestic basilica, built in his honour in the 13th century. Amazing fresco paintings and
beautiful art adorn the building and visitors can marvel at this as well as the nearby cathedral in this quaint little village. Umbria is about tranquillity, rural charm and great food, and as you explore this delightful region, you’ll never be far from great sights, tastes and local gems.
Abbazia Collemedio COLLEPEPE Take a step back into Medieval Italian history, for a unique experience like no other at the Abbazia Collemedio.
Set in the small town of Collepepe, and tucked amidst some rolling Umbrian hills in the green heart of Italy, you will
find this unique resort which was once a Franciscan monastery. Restored from its historical uses and converted into a modern hotel, the Abbazia Collemedio offers a stay in a traditional Italian setting. Find out for yourself how the hotel has managed to maintain its heritage, whilst also enjoying some of the contemporary amenities on offer. Take a dip in the swimming pool, work up a sweat in the gym and tennis courts, and afterward perhaps indulge in the history and tradition of the site by visiting the adjacent grotto which was once used by monks. The hotel boasts a range of comfortable rooms, and also a restaurant where you can sample exceptional Umbrian cuisine, making this even more of a retreat than you could have even imagined.
Stay in a Classic Room Fitted with all the modern amenities you may need during your country retreat, you’ll soon find out why the Comfort Room has been so aptly named. Equipped with dark wooden furniture, parquet flooring, a comfortable double or two single beds, and light-coloured dÊcor, these rooms are the epitome of Italian charm. After a day of exploring the surrounding area, kick-back and rest on crisp white linens and reflect on a day well spent in the magical Abbazia Collemedio. The air-conditioned rooms all have a TV, safe, private bathroom with a hairdryer as well as other standard amenities such as a telephone, radio, free toiletries and more.

THINGS TO SEE NEARBY
Assisi Assisi is one of the most visited cities in Umbria, once home to St. Francis and St. Clare, it’s now a religious centre of the region, and a prime destination for many pilgrims. Explore the narrow, steep, picturesque lanes which conceal plenty of surprises: a hidden restaurant, a faded fresco or a stunning view. The town is set on the slopes of Mount Subasio, and it’s possible to trek the nearby Regional Park, which opens up stunning views of the scenery that characterises Assisi.
Gubbio Set on the lower slopes of the beautiful Mt. Ingino, Gubbio was once the capital of Umbria. Old buildings, monuments and streets which date back to the Middle Ages abound in the city. Its ancient walls were built at the end of the 13th century, and visitors can discover gorgeous palaces, the Piazza Grande, as well as Roman, Gothic and Renaissance architecture. The elevation of the town also provides splendid views across the green countryside.
Perugia The old town of Perugia is steeped in history, and every street and corner reveal various delightful glimpses of the past. Visit the Cathedral of St Lorenzo which towers above the rest of the city, and explore some of the many other churches that profuse in Perugia. Despite its Medieval look, Perugia is a vibrant and youthful city. Among other things it’s the proud host of the Umbria Jazz Festival and the EuroChocolate Perugia - the region’s international chocolate exhibition, where you could taste delicious home-made Umbrian chocolate.
