Much less known than its famous neighbour, Tuscany, Umbria makes for rewarding walking country. Not only because of its timeless routes and enduring views but also because of the beautiful medieval towns and villages which seemingly crown every undulation.
As you follow Franciscan paths between olive groves, woodland, and vineyards, you will discover the more celebrated towns of Assisi and Spoleto but also unpretentious hill-top centres that promise a different experience entirely. Spello, Montefalco, Bevagna, and Collepino – hewn from local stone and steeped in history, each promises a blend of traditional culture, vibrant local life, and rustic regional cuisine. They, along with the four excellent hotels at which you stay, make the perfect accompaniment to a week’s walking across the unspoiled landscapes of evocative Umbria.

Night 1: at Fontebella Palace Hotel (the first of 2 nights here).
As your first night’s accommodation is on the day of travel, Day 1 is your first day of walking.
From Assisi’s historic centre to medieval Spoleto, each of your four hotels offers a superb – and characteristically Umbrian – setting.
In some places, we work with more than one hotel, as shown below. All are hand-picked by us and, unless there is a price implication (in which case we will contact you to discuss your options), we will tell you which one we have booked for you on your booking confirmation.
Wherever you stay in Assisi, we recommend an extra night to explore at greater length or enjoy a day trip to historic Perugia – Umbria’s capital.
We can only accept payment in GBP, but you can use this converter to find out how much the holiday equates to in your own currency.
