Discover the Beauty of These Two Umbrian Towns

A tale of two hill towns with our expert driver and guide at your disposal. One, Assisi, peaked by an imposing castle, pours down to the famous Basilica of San Francesco, where Saint Francis famously renounced his inheritance to take up the life of a poor monk. The other, Orvieto, volcanic rock at its core, rises up to a Cathedrale that makes even the Duomo in Florence blush.

These two Umbrian towns cannot be described, they need to be experienced. Their streets need to be walked, and their wine tasted. Luckily for you, you can enjoy all the wine you want while you are chauffeured through the rolling hills of Umbria.

Both Orvieto and Assisi are UNESCO World Heritage. Assisi is famous for Saint Francis, who revolutionized the Christian world by taking up a life of poverty in the 13th century and founding the Fraciscan order, which still exists in the Catholic Church to this day. Orvieto sits atop perhaps the largest deposit of volcanic rock in Italy. Its history begins even earlier than the rise of the Roman Empire, when the Etruscans roamed central Italy. Both cities are prime examples of lovely medieval Italian towns, perfect for getting lost in their narrow winding streets.

Admiring this church and the piazza that leads up to it is enough to make your chin drop to the floor. Once you step inside, it’s a whole other story entirely. Both the upper and lower church are covered in some of the most amazing frescos anywhere in the world.
