DAY TRIPS FROM ORVIETO & UMBRIA TOURS
Also known as the “Green Heart of Italy”, Umbria is a region rich in extraordinary monuments, breathtaking landscapes and authentic culinary traditions. Home to artists, saints and poets, it unfolds through rolling hills, medieval villages and unspoilt countryside.
Palazzo Petrvs is the perfect starting point for day trips from Orvieto to discover the Green Heart of Italy, allowing you to explore iconic destinations, hidden towns and timeless scenery while returning each evening to the comfort of an exclusive historic residence.
Umbria
A religious centre of Etruscan culture, the city of Orvieto has its roots in ancient times. It reached its period of maximum splendour during the Middle Ages. It is to this period that its most famous monument dates back: the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, which stands out against the rooftops of the city with the unmistakable profile of its façade. From the mysterious underground passages to the top of its towers, Orvieto will surprise you with its authentic beauty, in a symphony of history, nature and flavours where you can rediscover the rhythms of ancient times.
Umbria
Far from the hustle and bustle of the contemporary world, this corner of Umbria with its timeless charm accompanies the traveller on a discovery of enchanted places, where unspoilt nature provides a backdrop to ancient abbeys, hermitages and medieval fortifications. Let yourself be carried away by the sound of nature and immerse yourself in a small universe of beauty and goodness where every single flower will speak to you of a distant time, still alive in the traditions of the local culture.
Norcia
The birthplace of Saint Benedict, patron saint of Europe, Norcia is located within the Monti Sibillini National Park, in the lands of the prized black truffle, a true gastronomic excellence of this territory. Despite the extensive damage suffered during the 2016 earthquake, the medieval town of Norcia holds gems of authentic beauty, such as the famous Piazza di San Benedetto, where medieval architecture dialogues with the ineffable beauty of the surrounding mountains.
Castelluccio di Norcia
Situated 1452 metres above sea level, the small village of Castelluccio di Norcia dominates the boundless beauty of the Pian Grande, at the foot of the imposing Monte Vettore. An ideal destination for mountain enthusiasts, this corner of paradise offers countless activities for nature lovers, both experts and beginners. In the early summer months, during 'the Flowering', the terrain is transformed into a triumph of colours that attracts travellers from all over the world.
Vallo di Nera
Perched in a strategic position, the small village of Vallo di Nera dominates the picturesque Valnerina, rich in nature and history. Lose yourself in the labyrinth of its characteristic alleys and let yourself be carried away by the authentic beauty of one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, where time seems to flow at a different pace. Stop and breathe in the millenary history of these places strewn with profound sacredness in perfect harmony between man and nature.
Umbria
Famous throughout the world for its fairytale landscapes and excellent food and wine, Umbria is also surprising for the beauty of its historic city centres that conceal an ancient and glorious past still visible in the grandeur of its palaces and the elegance of its squares.
Perugia
Discover the beauty of the mighty Perugia, a city with a glorious past where every corner speaks of its history, that of great names, great battles and the many powerful people who have clashed here for millennia: Etruscans against Romans, Byzantines against Lombards, Guelphs against Ghibellines, the papacy against emperors. Each of these powers has left evident signs of their passage in the city, making it a variegated rainbow of styles and colours that makes you fall in love with its monuments and ancient alleys.
Todi
If Umbria is the green heart of Italy, Todi is the green heart of Umbria. A town of ancient origins, it is the birthplace of Jacopone, friar and poet, one of the fathers of the Italian language. Built on top of the hill overlooking the lush Tiber valley, the historic centre of Todi boasts a thousand-year history that spans all ages, from the Umbrian people to the Middle Ages, passing through the Etruscans and the Romans. A must-see is Piazza del Popolo, the city's living room, where you can admire the vestiges of a glorious past.
Umbria
Towers, bell towers, squares, churches and palaces. The villages of Umbria are the true historical, artistic and cultural wealth of this region. In the evocative alleyways of its historical districts, one can still breathe an air that speaks of the Middle Ages, of a distant past that, even today, penetrates the eyes and souls of visitors through the beauty and traditions that make Umbria famous throughout the world.
Gubbio
A place of art and culture, a centre of ancient and glorious traditions, Gubbio is undoubtedly one of the most splendid towns in Umbria, not by chance known as 'the most beautiful medieval city'. Perched on the slopes of Mount Ingino, this suggestive town combines the richness of its monuments with suggestive views of woods and green valleys. An unmissable event is the Corsa dei Ceri, celebrated every year on 15 May in a collective jubilation that attracts thousands of tourists to the city.
Umbria
Art, history, nature, spirituality: Umbria is a symphony of majestic beauty and intimate contemplation, where masterpieces of architecture blend with the profound lyricism of its landscapes. Immerse yourself in a dimension where time has stood still, where everything speaks of the Middle Ages, where the sacred and the profane come together in a succession of glimpses, views and monuments that encapsulate the boundless beauty of this region.
