Vacation rental in Umbria, Italy

Farm villa vacation rental in Umbria, Italy

The Region (the Italian equivalent of a State, County or Province) of Umbria in central Italy is essentially rural and characteristically presents vistas of verdant green hills. The largest town in Umbria is Perugia (population about 170,000). Umbria is well-known for its many churches, a few of them going back to Roman times (notably in Assisi), many of them Romanesque, many of them with beautiful frescoes or sculpture. Roman remains are far more common in Umbria than in neighbouring Tuscany, due, obviously, to the greater proximity to Rome and to the presence of the via Flaminia running from Rome through Umbria to the Adriatic at Rimini. Roman remains include some fine bridges, the Roman bridge at Narni being the largest Roman bridge ever built.

Umbria is also currently of major interest to those seeking
houses for sale in Italy in large part because the "green heart of Italy" still represents great value in comparison with Tuscany where prices are higher.
