Umbria and Lazio holiday villas

Stay in an Italian holiday villa and you'll be spoilt for choice between exploring the breathtaking Roman countryside with its mountain peaks, flower-strewn valleys and sparkling lakes, and the beach retreats of Lazio.

Things to see and do in Umbria and Lazio

Step out of your luxury Italian holiday villa to explore the heart of Roman Italy...

• Assisi: Make your own pilgrimage to this beloved Umbrian hilltown to explore medieval streets and see the St Francis frescoes in the Basilica.
• Rome: See iconic sights around every corner and fall under the city's spell simply sipping a cappuccino by the fountains in the buzzing Piazza Navona.
• Natural highs: Enjoy swimming, watersports and boat trips on Umbria's magnificent Lake Trasimeno or follow spectacular walking trails in the soaring Monte Sibillini National Park.

Tastes of the region

• Umbria: Enjoy deliciously hearty soups like Zuppa al Farro and irresistibly indulgent dishes with prized local truffles.
• 
• Lazio: Feast on the tomato and pancetta pasta dish of Bucatini all'Amatriciana or super-thin Roman pizzas with crisp Frascati wines.

Don't miss...

• Explore medieval walled towns and hill-top Renaissance treasure houses including Todi in Umbria and the Castelli Romani villages of Lazio.

Our regional team recommends

• See the magnificent Duomo in Umbria's cliff-top Orvieto, with the San Brizio Chapel frescoes considered second only to Michelangelo's!
• In the rolling Lazio hills, follow in Prince Charles footsteps to admire the 16th century Palazzo Farnese in Caprarola.
