3-7nt Half-Board 4* Umbria Stay, Pizza Making, Wine Tasting & Flights

Longing for an idyllic Italian escape? You’ll do just that with today’s restful retreat in a picturesque hillside castle in the green heart of the country - Umbria…

Umbria is known as Italy’s green heart and for good reason. With luscious landscapes, an eclectic mix of unique architectural treasures, a wealth of history and fascinating culture, and a well-known passion for its exquisite cuisine and family-run wineries, Umbria is the definition of the romantic Italian escape. You’ll become a part of the timeless atmosphere this Medieval region exudes as you rest your head in the beautiful 4* Castello di Baccaresca, recipient of a TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence. This splendid castle can be found nestled within a 250-hectare estate and offers elegant rooms furnished to the highest standard. An en suite, free wi-fi, air conditioning and TV ensure plenty of comfort, while the extensive spa facilities total sensory rejuvenation. With your half-board stay, you’ll tuck into two delicious Umbrian meals every day. The good news doesn’t stop there though; you and your lucky companion can look forward to a welcome drink on arrival, a fun-filled pizza making lesson, and a swanky wine tasting session. The flavours of the region are bound to stick with you for a long, long time!

You’ll be ideally located for both relaxation and sightseeing so stick on some snazzy shades and bust out the camera! Nature enthusiasts should definitely take advantage of the various rural walking routes in Umbria and close to the hotel. With mile after mile of rolling hills soaked in sunshine, a tranquil walk is easily found. The culture-crazed should head to the steep cobbled streets and charming piazzas of Gubbio, taking in the works of 16th-century artist and architects along the way. Further afield, you’ll find the hilltop city of Perugia. Inside the city walls that date back all the way to the 4th Century BC, you’ll find the prestigious University of Foreign Affairs, the Basilica of San Domenico church, and the Palace of the People’s Captain among the picturesque piazzas lined with cosy cafes and popular restaurants. Other must-see towns include Assisi, home to the first saint in church history, Foligno, Spello, Todi and Deruta. Of course, with so many wineries around you’d be crazy not to pop in for a visit and a tipple!
