An 11-day tour of Umbria with 6 nights near Perugia: Gubbio, Spello, Montefalco, Spoleto, Lake Trasimeno and Deruta.
Umbria, a landlocked region in central Italy, is made of olive-covered hills and small medieval towns perched on the heights. Your group stays six nights in the same 3-star hotel near Perugia, on half board, and sets out each day for a new destination: Gubbio and its Palazzo dei Consoli, Spello and its flower-filled lanes, Montefalco and its Sagrantino wine, Spoleto and its Bridge of Towers. To be honest, these hill towns involve climbs and cobbles, but visits stay short, public escalators and lifts are used where they exist, and anyone can wait on a café terrace. Lake Trasimeno, with its flat shores and boat trip, offers a more restful day, as does the free day. To avoid long days on the road, the trip includes two stopover nights each way.
