Authentic Umbria between art, flowers and history

Get ready to experience a day full of the charm and authentic flavours of Umbria.

We will start our journey from Spello, a jewel of pink stone perched on a hill, where flowery alleys and glimpses of art will welcome you in a timeless atmosphere.

We will then continue on to Montefalco, where a dip in the vineyards that produce the famous Sagrantino wine awaits us, and then lose ourselves in the colours of the landscape.

We will finally end the day in Civitella del Lago, with a dinner of Umbrian specialities, immersed in a landscape that seems to have come straight out of a painting. An itinerary of emotions, to be experienced slowly, one step at a time.

Medieval art and many flowers

Our first stop is Spello, an enchanting village where every alleyway tells stories of bygone eras and smells of fresh flowers. Perched on a hill, this town is famous for its pink stone houses and balconies decorated with geraniums and wisteria, a triumph of colours that makes every corner unique. Don't miss the Church of Santa Maria Maggiore, guardian of Pinturicchio's frescoes, and the ancient Roman gates that tell of the glorious past of this ‘city of flowers’.

A bite for lunch

Spello has given us a rich morning, now it is time to stop for lunch!

Located in the heart of the town, we stop at Ristorante il Pinturicchio. Here, ancient Umbrian culinary traditions are revived with passion, thanks to authentic recipes. Each dish is prepared with dedication, renewing classic flavours with a fresh touch.

What to absolutely see around here

We overlook the ‘railing of Umbria’ to fill our lungs and eyes with the beauty of the Umbrian hills. Montefalco, however, is much more than a belvedere: it is a journey through art, history and excellent wines.

This medieval village fascinates with its narrow streets, stone houses and beautiful central square, surrounded by ancient palazzi. The Church of San Francesco, now a museum, houses the frescoes by Benozzo Gozzoli, masterpieces that tell of the history and spirituality of the place.

Famous for its Sagrantino wine, we invite you to taste its fine reds in the local wine cellars, where the passion for winemaking has been handed down for generations.

Finally dinner

To end this day in Umbria, Ristorante Trippini in Civitella del Lago is a choice that celebrates the link between tradition and culinary creativity. Located in one of the most charming villages, this historic restaurant is known for its innovative cuisine that respects its Umbrian roots. Here, simple and genuine ingredients become the protagonists of dishes that tell the story of the land, such as pulses, mushrooms and local olive oil, enhanced by a contemporary touch.

Memories of an itinerary that leaves its mark

At the end of this itinerary through Umbria, what remains is not only the memory of beautiful landscapes and enchanted villages, but an experience that speaks of authenticity and deep ties with the land. Each stop, from Spello to Montefalco to Civitella del Lago, offered unique moments, intense fragrances and flavours that remain etched in the memory. Umbria reveals itself in its refined and genuine simplicity.
