Known as the green heart of Italy, the region has a wonderful and dramatic mixture of panorama, rolling hills covered with vineyards, olive groves and sunflower and poppy fields, , mountains with pine forests and its many lakes and waterfalls.

Todi, an ancient Etruscan town, with its 3 layer walls marking each period, Roman and medieval, is placed on top of a hill dominating the Tiber River and its valley and is a flourishing Umbrian centre where quality of life is considered as the best in the world and was given this prestigious title some years ago. Many classic Hollywood films have been rolled out in this famous Piazza. Todi is the home town of the famous medieval Italian poet Jacapone. Todi boasts three beautiful churches, its Duomo in the piazza, Jacapone’s church of Sam Fortunato and the beautiful Basilica of Santa Maria Consolazzione.
