• UMBRIA •

According to Henry James, Umbria is “The most beautiful garden in all the world”. Here, the past can feel very close. The landscape It is green, rural, idyllic and for centuries has lived unfairly in the shadow of neighboring Tuscany. 

Umbria recalls an ancient spirituality. Everything is sweeter here: the rolling hilly landscapes, the local dialect, the food, olive oil and wine. As seen in the paintings of the famous local Renaissance artist Perugino, Umbria is a place of dreamlike landscapes. the silvery glimmer of its olive groves rests softly on the old farmhouses and on the horseback riders.

Certainly the flowering of the valley of Castelluccio, on the Sibillini Mountains, is one of the miraculous events of nature: between late May and mid-July is transformed into an amazing palette of colors as not even a painter could have done better. The yellow color of the wild mustard, the bright red of the poppies, the white of the chamomile and the lilac of the cornflower, blend extraordinarily together and it is a breathtaking sight.

Umbria is to be discovered… in silence.
