Truffle Hunting in Umbria

This weekend there was an interesting article in the Times about truffle hunting in Umbria!

Saverio is a good friend of ours and is delighted to offer guests at any of the accommodation featured on Where to Stay in Umbria the chance to hunt for truffles, a tour of the truffle farm and a delicious 7 course meal based on truffles.

Take advantage of the great rates for our villas and apartments in Umbria and make time to visit the truffle farm (we can arrange visits for you)! It will be something you will talk about for ages afterwards...

Umbria in May

There are so many wonderful and interesting events taking place in Umbria in May that it makes a perfect month to consider taking your holiday.

The historic town of Assisi is host to the Calendimaggio from 7th to 9th May when the town comes alive with medieval processions, music and much more...

Gubbio, the beautiful medieval town on the slopes of the Monte Ingino holds the Festa dei Ceri on the 15th May and the Palio della Balestra on the 31st May. Both events are not to be missed and draw huge crowds! The atmosphere is fantastic and the costumes are amazing.

All of our villas and apartments are within easy driving distance of Assisi and Gubbio so find one you like and contact me for availability at anna@wheretostayinumbria.com .

I look forward to hearing from you!
