Characterised as the “green heart of Italy”, Umbria is a region in the centre of Italy. Umbria borders Lazio, Le Marche and Tuscany – for those that love Tuscany, Umbria is a more affordable alternative when it comes to property. Famous for its natural beauty, Umbria boasts of rolling hills, vineyards, olive groves, woods, lakes, rivers and mountains. The capital of Umbria is Perugia, positioned on a steep hill, it was founded by the Etruscans in the 7th century BC. Today, Perugia has lots of history to explore, such as the Gothic palace of Palazoo dei Priori. While the university adds a touch of youthful fun to the city. Perugia hosts a Eurochocolate and jazz festival every year. Moreover, the international airport of Perugia is just fifteen minutes away (via car) from the city centre.

While some areas of Umbria have gained attraction from tourists, there are still plenty of traditional, characterful villages.
