Holiday Accomodation in Italy
One of the greatest secret destinations in Italy is the central, landlocked region around Perugia. This mountainous wooded landscape is known as the “Green Heart of Italy” and with just cause. More than 70% of the area is still covered in forests and woodlands and it offers a wonderful outdoor adventure to tourists prepared to traveling inland.
There are plenty of holiday rentals in the area as many of the former tobacco farms that once covered the area have been converted into beautiful traditional style, holiday homes in Italy. These large stone built farmhouses, with their oak beams and traditional tiled roofs, make an ideal base from which to explore the countryside and sample the local cuisine.
Rooms in these houses are often vast, large kitchens and ample bedrooms, normally all with en-suite bathroom facilities. Living rooms are equally as spacious and regularly include the feature of a large fireplace. Gardens are wonderfully scented places, full of thyme, rosemary and lavender bushes, while most villas include a swimming pool or hot tub as well.
The area offers excellent trips to Assisi or the provincial capital of Perugia, but the best excitement can be had in the little, often less traveled locations like Gubbio, Orivieto or Anghiari, all jewels in Italy’s crown. The main tourist attractions are equally as accessible with Florence an hour and a half away, Sienna an hour and Rome two hours; and all easily reached on the main motorway.
