Umbria Walking, Italy ~ Butterfield and Robinson · Biking and Walking Since 1966

Activity Level: M
Start / Finish: Spoleto / Perugia

Locked in Land and in Time

Although Umbria’s landlocked position makes it a little more difficult to reach than other parts of Italy, its hallowed grounds, fertile river valleys and historical architecture make it worth the extra effort. Here, you will find Spoleto, which was once a key military outpost for the Roman army; the eponymous hometown of St. Francis of Assisi; Umbria’s “green heart,” through which the Tiber River flows; the fabled wine country of Montefalco and so much more. Umbria’s proud national spirit has been imbued into the bricks of the very hotels at which you’ll be staying—and B&R’s savvy guides will help bring this to life.

Day 1 Spot duomos, military outposts and Roman aqueducts as you walk from Spoleto to Monteluco

Day 2 Walk the "path of the olive groves" from Spello to Assisi, embark on an evening expert-led walk of Assisi's holy grounds
Day 3 Take in the magnificent views from the slopes of neighbouring Monte Subasio and enjoy a lunch of the local torta al testo
Day 4 Beginning in wine-famous Montefalco, walk to Bevagna, stopping at a friend of B&R’s for lunch

Day 5 Explore the castle hamlet of Torre del Colle before making your own pasta for lunch. Tonight we have a medieval-themed evening planned including dinner in a converted Roman amphitheatre
Day 6 Say arrivederci in Perugia


		Palazzo Leti, Spoleto Meticulously restored to its original antiquated beauty, the Palazzo Leti offers an unforgettable hotel experience. Consisting of 12 rustic-yet-elegant rooms and located in the heart of equally-historic Spoleto, you will marvel at the architecture, noble luxury and sweeping views (including the sacred Monteluco Mountain) that this property offers.
		Nun Assisi, Assisi The Nun Assisi seamlessly blends archaic 1st century Roman pillars with state-of-the-art amenities like a hydro-massage pool, for a pampering experience that is unlike anything you’ve ever dreamed of. The dining area features cross-vaulted ceilings and décor that also echoes the ages.
		Orto degli Angeli, Bevagna This ancient Umbrian property prides itself on delivering the authentic Italian touch; unbridled hospitality, unmatched cuisine and good living. Set amidst a large, fragrant garden, the Orto degli Angeli overlooks the ruins of a Roman temple and 1st century theatre; it also features nine rooms that retain the property’s 18th century fittings—and five that highlight its Roman architecture.
