Just left Villa Sogno. Wonderful setting in a thousand year old hilltop village. We stayed four days after a Rome stopover. Relaxing—lots to do in the area. When we left we felt we’d known Brian and Rosemary for a lifetime!

Thank Timothy T

Felt like special guests

Villa Sogna was a fortuatous find after searching 'apartments in Umbria' for way too long! This is Brian & Rosemary's home, and they treat you as their "friends here for a visit". They were so helpful suggesting places to visit and eat. We had a...More

Cultural - There are many beautiful medieval cities and towns to visit in the area, many of them walled and positioned on hilltops. They all boast wonderful medieval architecture and some of the churches, for example, the cathedrals in Orvieto and Assisi are World Heritage Sites. Most cities have museums in historic buildings where art collections and archaeological artefacts are displayed.

There are numerous festivals in the region which take place throughout the year with many originating during the Middle Ages. The people of Umbria proudly maintain the historical traditions of their ancestors with period costumes, dancing and food. There is an internationally acclaimed arts festival in Spoleto every summer and the Umbria Jazz Festival in Perugia (July) often brings in famous musicians and singers for the Festival. Another well-known event in Perugia is the International Chocolate Festival which takes place every October, not to be missed by any serious chocolate-lover. Montefalco hosts a big wine festival in mid/late September, featuring the famed local Sagrantino wine. Not to be forgotten is Aqualoreto's own festa week leading up to Ferragosto (August 15th which is Italy's most celebrated holiday) - this week consists of dinners and music in the piazza.
Last but not least is our own olive harvest which takes place in early November.

Outdoor and Sports - The countryside in Umbria offers many opportunities to enjoy outdoor activities such as walking and hiking. There are signposted routes in the area around Todi, the Tiber Nature Reserve and Lake Corbara. Cycling and mountain biking are also very popular as the countryside provides for both simple and challenging cycling routes but all with beautiful views. Other activities include watersports on Lake Bolsena and Lake Trasimeno.
