The Green Heart of Italy — Between Villages, Hills and Spirituality

Umbria is a place that speaks softly. It is made of gently breathing hills, villages steeped in stone and silence, and churches that hold both light and history. It is a region that doesn’t dazzle — it wins you over slowly, with its gentle authenticity and the peace it offers to those who wander through it.
From the Tiber valleys to the shores of Lake Trasimeno, every road is an invitation to explore, every landscape an embrace of greenery and calm. With Toucan Travel, you can experience it from within — at a slow pace, with an open heart — among nature, art and spirituality woven together in perfect harmony.

Places to Discover

Assisi: The Spiritual Soul of Umbria

Assisi is more than a place — it’s a breath of peace. Walking along its stone streets means entering a suspended atmosphere where time stands still and the spirit feels lighter.
The Basilica of Saint Francis, with its frescoes telling the Saint’s life story, overlooks the town and valley like a beacon of light. In the silent cloisters, you can hear the whisper of the wind, and in the steep alleyways, the scent of local workshops fills the air.
Assisi is spirituality, but also art and pure humanity. It’s a place you don’t just see — you feel it, like a prayer that becomes a journey.

Perugia: Art, History and Flavour

Perugia blends culture and vitality with effortless grace.
Its Etruscan walls, the Fontana Maggiore, and the narrow streets climbing between medieval houses all speak of a long and fascinating history. But Perugia is also joyfully modern — from the rhythms of Umbria Jazz to the sweet aromas of Eurochocolate, and the lively spirit of the students who fill its streets all year round.
Among its shops and taverns, you’ll find the region’s true flavours: black truffle, full-bodied wines, and rich, fragrant olive oil. It’s a city that delights both the eyes and the palate — a meeting of past and present that never ceases to surprise.

Spoleto and Spello: Villages of Stone and Light

In the heart of Umbria, Spoleto and Spello shine with discreet beauty.
Spoleto, with its majestic Cathedral and the Ponte delle Torri, weaves history and poetry together. During the Festival dei Due Mondi, its squares come alive with music, dance and theatre, turning the town into an open-air stage.
Spello, on the other hand, is a small gem of pink stone and flowers in bloom. Its flower-filled lanes look hand-painted, and from its terraces stretch views embracing the entire valley. It’s a place that invites silence, slowness, and wonder at life’s simple beauty.

Lake Trasimeno: The Breath of Nature

Among the hills overlooking Tuscany lies Lake Trasimeno — a gentle sea nestled in green.
Its calm waters mirror the sky and distant mountains, gifting travellers an immediate sense of peace. In Castiglione del Lago, time flows slowly between ancient walls, swaying boats and sunsets that set the water ablaze with gold and rose hues.
It’s the ideal destination for those seeking relaxation and authenticity: you can sail, walk, taste and observe. Every activity becomes a way to rediscover yourself in the quiet of nature.

Gubbio, Todi and Orvieto: Gems of the Green Heart

Every Umbrian village has its own story — a small world of beauty and character.
Gubbio preserves the austere charm of the Middle Ages, with its suspended squares and the echo of bells resonating through its walls. Todi, elegant and radiant, overlooks the valley with its perfect profile, offering breathtaking views.
And then there’s Orvieto, perched on a tufa cliff like a fortress suspended between earth and sky — its Gothic Cathedral is a masterpiece that leaves you speechless, a lacework of stone and faith.
In these places, you can breathe the true soul of Umbria: authentic, welcoming and timeless.
