Villages here host festivals throughout the year, including Gubbio's famous Race of the Candles and the renowned Festival of the Ceri and Crossbow Competition. Umbria vacation rentals place visitors in the heart of it all, with parks, woodland and lakes to explore for those who prefer something a little quieter, while no trip here is complete without tasting the region's famous Pecorino sheep's cheese, salami and truffles, foraged from the forests.

Spring and fall are ideal in Umbria
An inland region nestled in the heart of Italy, about halfway down the so-called boot, Umbria is a hilly area with dense forests, known for warm, sunny summers and cold, cloudy winters. During summer, skies remain clear for the most part, with temperatures rising into the mid-80s and sometimes into the 90s. Days begin to cool towards the end of October and remain cold through mid-March, with temperatures hovering between 23 and 32. The ideal times to visit are during spring and fall, when the days are warm, the nights cool and the crowds fewer.
Get back to nature in picturesque Umbria
Umbria may not have the sandy beaches and sea views that other Italian regions boast, but it more than makes up for it with stunning hilltop vistas, mountainous parks with waterfalls, lakes and rivers and dense forests that are ideal for foraging for truffles. South-east of Florence and north-east of Rome, Umbria is just a short drive from the Adriatic Sea to the east and the Tyrrhenian Sea to the west.
