Abbazia Collemedio RESORT & RESTAURANT Take a step back into Medieval Italian history for a unique experience like no other at the Abbazia Collemedio Resort & Restaurant. Set in the small town of

Collepepe and tucked amidst rolling Umbrian hills in the green heart of Italy, this unique resort was once a Franciscan monastery. Restored from its historical

use and converted into a modern hotel, the Abbazia Collemedio Resort & Restaurant offers a traditional Italian setting straight out of a travel guide.

The Abbazia Collemedio Resort & Restaurant has maintained and combined its heritage with a number of contemporary amenities and facilities, ensuring it offers the best of both worlds. Take a dip in the swimming pool, work up a sweat in the gym and tennis courts and then perhaps explore the adjacent grotto, once used by monks. The hotel boasts a range of comfortable rooms and a restaurant where you can sample exceptional Umbrian cuisine. Guests can even try out their skills as an Italian chef through the optional cooking course.

Stay in a Classic Room Equipped with wooden furniture, parquet flooring, a comfortable double or two single beds, and light-colored dĂŠcor, these rooms are the epitome of Italian charm. The air-conditioned rooms all have a TV, safe, private bathroom with a hairdryer as well as other standard amenities such as a telephone, minibar, free toiletries and more.

ROME from $99 per person per night

Rome is a treasure trove of masterpieces, from cultural gems and great paintings to sculptures and unique streets. The ambitious modern architecture is a striking contrast with the classical palazzos and villas, appeasing both modernists and traditionalists.

Visits to the Colosseum, the Roman Forum and the Pantheon should be on the top of any visitor’s list, while off the main tourist track, you’ll find places like the Roman houses under the Church of St John and St Paul and the Via Appia particularly interesting.

What to see in UMBRIA Using your included rental car, why not get out and explore the best that Umbria has to offer. While by no means an extensive list of all the sights worth seeing, here is a brief introduction, giving you some great places to visit.

Assisi Assisi is one of the most visited cities in Umbria, once home to St. Francis and St. Clare, it’s now a religious center 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 characterizes 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 reveals 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, however, 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.
