Agriturismo Umbria

Have you ever wondered what life would be living on a farm? Have you heard of agriturismo? Agriturismo comes from the words "agriculture” and "tourism”. At agriturismo Umbria you will have the opportunity to stay on a real farm and maybe learn a thing or two. Most of the farms are big enough to have some extra rooms on the property. Although it’s a farm the rooms are luxurious and should meet all of your needs. Farmers are proud people and will be happy to show you ways of how to take care of animals or grow your own natural fruit and veggies.

Umbria offers a picture-perfect landscapes

What better way to be close to nature than on a farm? Most of the farms are far away from villages and supermarkets. Umbria is located in Central Italy and spreads 8456 km². You can say that Umbria has it all, from mountainous terrain to vast and flat valleys filled with shallow lakes. Famous with their fine Italian wine, witness the impressive grape fields as far as your eye can reach. Wine lovers absolutely enjoy their stay at agriturismo locations. With such a beautiful nature,several regional parks and one national park are established there.

Monte Sibillini National Park is located in the Apennines and is composed of mountainous terrain. Monte Vettore is 2,476 meters high and it is the highest mountain there. From May to July, you can witness the colorful flower fields filled with poppies, orchids, lilies and daffodils. So be sure to bring a camera with you to this breathtaking sight. There are many species of wildlife roaming the park. Take a walk along the River Nera straight to Lake Fiastra and be amazed by its crystal-clear blue waters and their reflection of the landscape around them. Close by the Valle dell’Acquasanta is located with its spectacular waterfalls. Or maybe visit the Sibillini zone at your own risk. Legends say that those lands are home of demons, necromancers and fairies. Lake Pilate is located there on the highest valleys of Monte Vettore. Many big animals roam these parts, like golden eagles, ibex and wolves. There are more than 90 species of birds nesting in the park, so be sure to take your binoculars with you.

The best activities for an agriturismo holiday

If you are at the right time in the right place you might observe the famous and ancient carnival that is organized in almost every village and city in the area. Put on a mask and go on the streets filled with locals and celebrate this 500 year and counting old tradition. There are a lot of marked trails and guided tours for the trekking lovers. Or if rock-climbing is your thing you should visit the northern slopes of Monte Bove. Scale the natural cliffs while hang-gliders and paragliders soar the skies above you. You can try rafting and canyoning on the rivers in the summer or ski in the winter. There are a lot of marked paths designed for mountain bikers.

Surprise your partner with a 3-4 hour hot-air balloon ride, which includes breakfast and wine tasting and an experienced pilot of course. Or rent a scooter, pack a picnic basket with some nice wine and goodies from your agriturismo farm and explore the sunny landscapes of Umbria. Scooter too slow for you? Then go on an off-road Quad bike adventure. Quad is a four-wheeled ATV made for all kinds of terrain. For the knowledge seekers there are organized wine classes filled with different wine testing in English in a beautiful country house surrounded by olive groves in Todi, Umbria. Or just stay near and observe your farmer landlord and you might learn a trick or two for growing your own garden one day.

Most of the farms offer a private swimming pool and a special garden for their guests. Because of the lack of restaurants in the area, you will probably eat the homemade products from the farm with recipes passed down from generations. With all-natural products it is guaranteed that you will love it! The Internet is provided and many places are pet friendly. From quiet weekends with the loved one to a week holiday with the whole family, Nautre.house has offers in all sizes.

Sunny or rainy days, Umbria will amaze you with its nature!

Best times to visit Umbria are spring and fall, because of the warm, but not scorching temperatures and the lesser tourist flows. Usually, the temperatures then vary from 20 to 25 °C with constant sunshine. If you are not a big fan of rain, avoid visiting November, given the fact that it is the month with the highest chance of precipitation.

The warmest months are July and August with temperatures reaching 35 °C but feeling hotter, because of the dry air these months. July is also the sunniest month with almost 300 hours of sunshine. The rainiest months are April, May, June, October, November and December. Snowfall is rare in Italy, but an occasional winter storm is possible amongst the higher ground for the holidays.
