Holiday Villas from the Villa Company in Umbria, Italy:

At the Villa Company we are particularly pleased to offer a beautiful hand picked selection of Italian holiday villas including villas with pools in our Umbria Italy holiday programme. Our Umbria villas are set amidst beautiful countryside in one of the most unspoilt areas of Italy, all within easy striking distance of the Mediterranean coast as well as the main sights of the neighbouring regions of Tuscany and Lazio.

When choosing villas in Italy, not only in Umbria, we try to find Italian villas that are off the well trodden track. Visitors who take villa holidays in Umbria will know that the popular tourist sites are very busy during summer and, with the Villa Company, you can enjoy the Umbrian lifestyle as it should be enjoyed - away from the crowds. Here you can take time to relax in the peaceful, tranquil and authentic surroundings, enjoy the local food and wine then take excursions to the tourist sites when you're ready.

Our beautiful holiday villas in Umbria meet our high standards and offer Villa Company guests a certain 'something special', as no holiday villa in Italy would be complete without those home-from-home comforts.

Holiday villas Umbria Italy - Overview:

Just like Tuscany (Umbria's better know neighbour) Umbria is a delightful area of central Italy and whilst it may not have Tuscany's Mediterranean coastline, it boasts spectacular country scenery, more wonderful food and wine and its own treasure box of medieval and renaissance architecture, sights and must see attractions.

Our holiday villas in Umbria are set amidst beautiful Italian countryside, most within easy reach of the city of Perugia and Assisi; some are also close to the magnificent Lake Trasimeno, which has beautiful beach side villages and some excellent dining spots, many restaurants specialising in sea food and fresh water fish straight from the lake.

Holiday villas Umbria Italy - Sightseeing:

The magnificent sights of the basilica di San Francesco in Assisi, the spectacular old town of Perugia and the glimmering Duomo of Orvieto are the highlights of Umbria - an area blessed with many architectural treasures. However, unlike Tuscany, Umbria has less celebrated and therefore less busy centres, such as stunning Gubbio, Montefalco and Todi perched on its impregnable rocky outcrop. Here you can visit Umbria's romanesque churches, civic palaces, wonder at vivid frescos and explore a myriad medieval nooks and crannies to your heart's delight.

If you prefer to take in natural sights when on a villa holiday in Umbria, there are the impressive waterfalls at Marmore, or you can visit Campello sul Clitunno for its peaceful natural springs amidst the fortified hill towns. Everywhere in between you'll enjoy tranquil countryside, perhaps even a spot of golf at Perugia before a memorable Umbrian lunch.
