Tuscany & Umbria

Morning excursion to Civita di Bagnoregio, a small village perched precariously upon eroding rock and reached only by a causeway bridge.
We return to Orvieto which sits majestically on top of a volcanic tufa plateau to make our way through the narrow streets and take a tour of Orvieto’s ‘underground city’, created by its ancient inhabitants over about 2500 years of uninterrupted digging. An hour-long tour on a discovery of a millenary, surprising and unexpected “underground citadel”.

Now it is time for you to relax and appreciate the historic town-centre as locals emerge to stroll and enjoy gelato in the early evening. (total walking time 3hrs; distance 8km/5m)

We walk through the narrow streets of Montepulciano to its magnificent main square and then down through ancient wine cellars to the Renaissance church of San Biagio. From here we depart through the cypress lined avenue and then along country lanes into the Val d’Orcia (UNESCO) via the walled hamlet of Montichiello for a picnic lunch.
In the afternoon we continue to Pienza (UNESCO) to taste the famous Pecorino sheep’s milk cheese and balsamic vinegar.

Free time to relax, shop and admire the fine renaissance architecture. (walk 4hrs/13km/8.5m)

We start our walk at the battlements of the Castello di Ripa D’Orcia with magnificent views of the River Orcia below.
By way of trails through farmland and vineyards we reach the Romanesque monastery of Sant’ Antimo, founded by Charlemagne in 781. If we are lucky we can hear the monks chanting one of the services before continuing to the hill-town of Montalcino for free time and a Brunello wine tasting at the medieval Fortress.(walk 4hrs/13km/8.5m)

Visit the Etruscan tombs and enjoy a walk among olive groves past a XII century Franciscan hermitage followed by a picnic before continuing to Cortona via the ancient city gates to explore its medieval streets and monuments.
Visit the renown MAEC, the beautiful Etruscan museum, and then free time to indulge in a gelato or sit with a cappuccino in an outdoor cafe. (walk 2.5hrs/8km/5m)

Excursion to the Chianti wine country to walk from Brolio castle to San Gusme. After a picnic lunch we head to Siena. We visit one of the most richly decorated cathedrals in the world with masterpieces by Duccio, Pisano, Lorenzetti, Donatello, Pinturicchio and Michelangelo.

In the Campo Square we learn about the world famous Palio horse race. (walk 2hrs/6.5km/4m)

Gubbio is a medieval gem built of warm pink stone, dating back to the Umbrians who preceded the Etruscans. We explore the medieval town, admire the local ceramics and see the egubine tablets in the Palazzo dei Consoli. Observe the locals with a cappuccino in the magnificent Piazza Grande.
We then ascend by cable car with views of the Roman amphitheatre to the church of St. Ubaldo, perched on the edge of the hillside and inside the relic of the saint himself.

After a picnic lunch a walk with stunning views beckons us. (walk 4hrs/13km/8.5m)

Today we drive to the picturesque hamlet of Collepino and stop to visit before heading to the start of our trail.
We ascend +200m along the flower-strewn pastures to the top of Monte Subasio (1250m) for 360 views of Umbria, the Appenines and occasionally the Gran Sasso.
Just the spot for a picnic, after which we wind downhill to Eremo delle Carcere, the tranquil hermitage and favorite retreat of St. Francis, a perfect stop before we visit Assisi (UNESCO) to see frescoes by Giotto in the Basilica where Francis is buried. (walk 3-5hrs/8-14km/5-9m; +300/-450m)

A walk among olive groves and along the Via Francigena pilgrimage route through hamlets untouched by time and ending on the outskirts of Spoleto at the Basilica of San Salvatore (UNESCO), one of Italy’s oldest churches built temple-style using Roman materials.

This is a beautiful and rewarding full day’s walk and there are options during the day for those who may prefer to spend the afternoon in Spoleto visiting its Roman quarter, enjoying the medieval atmosphere and viewing the castle and aqueduct. (walk 4-6.5hrs/13-20km/8.5-12m).
