Castelluccio di Norcia

While the lush landscapes of rolling green hills and pretty villages equal to those famous examples in Tuscany, the rich foodie culture and incredible wines, the fascinating cultural heritage, and the fact that the region remains largely untouched by mass tourism are all excellent reasons to book a vacation rental in Umbria, there is one sight that makes a summer break here particularly unforgettable. Each year, between May and July, a great blooming of wildflowers spreads across vast meadows in the countryside of Umbria. This colourful natural spectacle is an extraordinary thing to behold and a true natural wonder that we think is well worth adding to your bucket list. Book your villa in Umbria for the early part of summer 2026 now and take it all in with your own eyes...

If you are someone who loves to hike then there are endless incredible hiking destinations to discover all across the world, Europe, and in Italy, in particular. Certainly, one of the best parts about hiking adventures in Italy is getting to refuel with the delicious local cuisine afterwards! And while there are plenty of options for hiking in Italy – from heading in to the Alps with their craggy peaks and lush valleys to discovering the azure waters and pretty villages along the Cinque Terre – one of the most striking landscapes that you could hope to explore is located in the region of Abruzzo.


Not only is Abuzzo untouched by mass tourism and over-development, preserving its natural beauty, but two thirds of the region is covered in mountains and thick forests still teeming with wildlife abound. Plus, this area of Italy is especially well known for its strong flavours and tradition of producing some of the most celebrated chefs in the country. So, if you’re looking to savour a wilder side of Italy on your next hiking vacation, then a villa in Abruzzo is sure to provide the right ingredients!
