We have made a list of the nicest cities in Umbria for you. You can easily visit all of them from your villa with private pool in Umbria or even in Tuscany. 

Assisi

Assisi is the city of Saint Francis, which attracts many pilgrims. But religious motives, are certainly not a requirement to enjoy this beautiful city. Visit Assisi in Umbria and enjoy the beautiful buildings, impressive frescos and many cosy squares. Assisi is for many holidaymakers in Umbria a city not to be missed!

Gubbio

If you rent a holiday home in the north of Umbria, Gubbio should certainly not be forgotten. Gubbio is a village in Umbria that has kept its medieval structure very well. The peaceful artistic town is composed by many alleys, stairs and houses with terracotta roof tiles. If you rent a holiday home in Le Marche, Gubbio is also not far away. It is not yet overrun by tourists, so it is very nice to explore even during the high season.

Norcia

Situated in the shadow of Monti Sibilini, this completely walled city makes a great starting point for exploring this beautiful natural area. Read more about a visit to the Monti Sibillini National Park in our blog! In Norcia, you can find all kinds of delicacies. Here you can taste Umbrian seasonal products like asparagus, mushrooms and delicious truffles. However, Norcia is first and foremost the city of meat. Salamis, ham and sausages are sold here on a daily basis. Take one with you and drink your aperitif with a proper bite from Norcia, in your holiday home with private swimming pool in Umbria.

Orvieto

With its beautiful location, 300m high on a volcanic rock, this city is unique. This village in Umbria is not very large, but it is super charming. The showpiece of this city is, without a doubt, the Duomo.  But that is not all that Orvieto has to offer. Walk along the Via Ripa Medici and the Vicolo Malcorini, or climb the Torre del Moro and enjoy the panoramic views of the Umbrian landscape!

Perugia

Perugia is world-famous for its university. Thanks to this university, Perugia has a very lively centre.  Anyone renting a holiday home in Italy should leave it to visit Perugia. Traditional boutiques and picturesque streets, combined with impressive monuments and an interesting history. Visit Perugia on foot and follow your instincts. You are guaranteed to end up in cute little squares and the nicest corners of this city!

Spello

Looking for that one particular village of Umbria? Then Spello is the place to be. Its flowery streets, are guaranteed to be the most colourful in Umbria, and perhaps even in the whole of Italy. It is one of the best kept secrets of Umbria. Spello is most colourful during the feast of Corpus Christi. Then, in one night, the village is completely covered by colourful petals and you can admire colourful pots everywhere. Looking for that ideal Instagram photo? Then Spello is the place to be!

Città della Pieve 

Città della Pieve can certainly count as one of the most beautiful villages in Umbria. Did you know that the narrowest alley of Italy can be found here? Vicolo Baciadonne is so narrow, that you can only just walk through. This is the reason why many tourists pass by here. Legend has it that the streets were created because the inhabitants had such a quarrel that they refused to share a wall. But don't worry, Città della Pieve always has a very nice atmosphere!

Rent a holiday home in Italy and visit one or more of these lovely cities in Umbria. Would you rather rent a holiday home in Le Marche or a holiday gîtes in Tuscany? Discover the nicest cities in Tuscany and the best sights in Lombardy and explore all our holiday homes in Italy.
