Umbria is the 'green heart of Italy', one of the finest holiday destinations in the whole of Europe. It's a land of pristine rural landscapes, rolling wooded hills, mountains, valleys and, of course, boasts some of the most sublime art and architecture in the world.
Spello, where Villa Giardiniera is found, is only 20 minutes drive from Perugia airport and within a stone's throw away from Assisi, the birthplace of St. Francis. It's a quiet and elegant little town with excellent restaurants famed for the typically robust (and undeniably delicious) Umbrian cuisine, fine wines and raft of historic buildings. Spello is an ideal base from which to discover this beautiful and characterful region of Italy.
Within easy reach are the famous hill towns of Orvieto (with its legendary cathedral), Todi, Città di Castello, Gubbio, Perugia, Spoleto and the highly regarded wine region of Montefalco.
