Your Itinerary
DAY 1 UK/Rome
Fly to Rome and transfer to your hotel in the charming unspoilt town of Trevi for a seven night stay. You may wish to visit the Museum of Modern art, which has been arranged for you free of charge.
DAY 2 Todi & Orvieto
This morning we visit the Umbrian town of Todi, with its beautiful main square, often used as a film set. Surrounding the Piazza are the striking 11th-century cathedral and several stunning Palazzos, which we take time to admire. We then continue to Orvieto, an ancient town in an eagle’s nest setting atop a volcanic out crop. The town is famous for its gothic cathedral, one of Italy’s finest, and its fine, light white wine.
DAY 3 Montefalco & Olive Frantoia
Look forward to a day of gastronomic delights on today’s included excursion. Montefalco is an intimate and charming mediaeval town overlooking the beautiful vale of Spoleto. We enjoy a walk through the town, which is centred around the pretty semi-circular Piazza del Commune. Later we indulge in a tasting of the robust blackberry-flavoured local wines, accompanied by delicious local cheese and salamis. Our culinary exploration continues this afternoon at a Frantoia, a working olive press. A brief introduction to the oil making process is followed by a tasting.
DAY 4 Assisi
Today’s included excursion takes us to Assisi, the jewel of Umbria. Nestled beneath the slopes of Mount Subasio are streets of muted pink stone buildings, crowned by the famous basilica. This ambitious building, actually two churches on top of each other, is a true celebration of 13th- and 14th-century art, decorated with renowned frescoes by Cimabue and Giotto. You’ll also have some free time to explore Assisi itself. Seek out the Piazza del Commune for a spot of people-watching in one of the cafes or enjoy a stroll amongst the steep narrow alleys and tiny shady squares.
DAY 5 Spoleto
Spoleto is the destination for today’s optional excursion, a delightful hilltown perhaps best known for the Ponte delle Tori. This superb mediaeval bridge gracefully spans the gorge in ten arches. The town also boasts a Roman theatre, a number of fine museums and San Salvatore, one of the oldest churches in the country, little changed since the 4th or 5th century.
DAY 6 Perugia
Our exploration of Umbria comes to an end with an excursion to Perugia. Its glorious mediaeval main street, Via Vannucci, is one of the most beautiful in Italy. Many of the town’s main sights can be found here, including the cathedral, the graceful Maggiore fountain and the Collegio del Cambio, home to acclaimed frescoes by Perugino. And be sure to take home some of the delicious Perugino chocolates, Bacci, that are made in the town.
DAY 7 Trevi
Free to explore and make your own discoveries in this delightful region.
DAY 8 Rome/UK
Transfer back to Rome airport for the homeward flight.
