When you can have an Italian lunch in a place like this (and yes, it was exactly like this) ... you know you are on to something special. With a group of Dutch ladies we first had an interesting tour of the extensive farm near Gubbio in Umbria. We were driven around...
My favorite restaurant in Umbria, Ristorante Vineria Stella, is from now onwards also offering cooking courses. The restaurant has been listed in the Slow Food Guide for many years and rightly so. It is the best place to go for a real good dinner, accompanied by wines...
Yesterday some pretty bad weather had been forecast. In reality we had hardly any rain, but I have a friend staying and we had already made 'rain plans'. Visiting a museum. In all the years that I have been living in Umbria, I have hardly visited any museum at all....

Saturday the 'Guide in Umbria' had organised a guided tour of the Saint Francis Basilica in Assisi. The 'Guide in Umbria' are organising every third Saturday of the month a guided tour somewhere in Umbria. I am a huge fan of this group of guides. The Basilica of...
The 'Guide in Umbria' form a group of Umbria tour guides of excellent quality. The summer of 2011 they had (in Dutch) a wonderful tour of Perugia every Wednesday morning for just 5 euro per adult. The tour was a big hit, many of our guests went and loved it. The Guide...
One of our trusty spies told us that the Slow Wine guide was going to be presented in Montefalco so we grabbed the tasting glasses and hit the road. It is amazing how little information sometimes is available about these events but then you can trust the todoinumbria...
