Nearby is the largest lake in the Italian peninsula, Lago Trasimeno. Encircled by low hills, it is popular for swimming and for water sports but specially for his breath taking sunsets. Also in the north is the perfectly preserved medieval town of Gubbio and peaceful Città di Castello. Also in this region are the majestic Assisi and Spoleto. The Basilica di San Francesco in Assisi houses superb frescoes by the Italian artist Giotto. Further south are the classic hill towns of Todi and Orvieto, which has a stunning Gothic cathedral. The elegant hill towns and overwhelming natural beauty combine to make Umbria one of the most loved regions in Italy.

The region's coastal capital, Florence, is resplendent with numerous palaces, museums and galleries but is famous above all to be the cradle of our language and the native land of many italian artists. Many atmospheric medieval hill towns lie west and south of Siena, with architecture that is as impressive today as it was hundreds of years before. Everywhere you will find a castle or wine cellar where you can stop and taste some of the local wine accompanied by some of the excellent local bread and sheep cheese.

Tuscany's coastline tends to take second place to its interior landscapes, yet it is well worth a visit. Several pretty islands lie just off the beautiful coast from where you can rent beautiful yachts and sailing boats and say yes I do surrounded by the magical atmosphere of the Mediterranean sea... |
