If you and nine of your nearest and dearest have been thinking about getting away together and are looking for a perfect fall escape, then we have a dream group vacation rental. Situated on a vineyard and a resort amongst the lush countryside of Umbria, just 7km from the beloved town of Assisi, with incredible amenities, plush interiors, lots of big old fireplaces and other gorgeous original features, Villa Assisi has all of the ingredients necessary to unwind in properly cosy autumnal style. Relax, visit the spa on site, sample local wines and other harvest delights, explore the stunning surrounding scenery and beautiful towns of Umbria, play tennis or padel on the free courts, pay for a round of golf on the resort, and generally make the most of the charms of Italy during the fall!

When one thinks of strudel, Austria is probably the country that first comes to mind. However, Austria is not the only country with a claim to the beloved and classic autumn dish. As the region of Trentino-Alto Adige is located right on the border between Austria and Italy, it has a cultural and culinary heritage that is made up of a mixture of elements from both countries. And, one of the things that they have made their own is the classic strudel. Widely available all throughout the region and all throughout the fall, it makes just one more excellent and cosy reason to plan an autumn stay in a vacation rental in Trentino-Alto Adige. 

The smallest region in Italy, Aosta Valley is nestled right in the heart of the Alps between Switzerland and France, and is a stunning destination for a mountain escape. All year round it is a place of incredible natural beauty that is ideal for a peaceful holiday but we do highly recommend a cosy fall getaway in the region in particular as it is a truly magical time to enjoy a vacation rental in the Aosta Valley...
