Hotels in Umbria, Italy

Umbria is a landlocked region in central Italy, famous for its rolling green hills, medieval hilltop towns like Assisi and Orvieto, and its dark, earthy truffles. The climate here brings hot summers, with July highs around 90°F (32°C), perfect for hiking the Sibillini Mountains or kayaking on Lake Trasimeno, Italy's fourth-largest lake; winters are chilly, dropping to 35°F (2°C), ideal for exploring the frescoes of the Basilica of Saint Francis in Assisi or warming up with a bowl of hearty lentil soup in Norcia. If you visit in spring, you can catch the colorful Infiorata flower festival in Spello on Corpus Christi, while autumn is truffle season, with festivals in Gubbio and Scheggino where you can taste fresh black truffles shaved over pasta.
