SOUTHERN UMBRIA
3 PERFECT DAYS DAY 1 // TRUFFLES & WILDFLOWERS
Start in Norcia ( p320 ), the regional seat of all things deliciously Umbrian. Wander through shops fi lled with ubiquitous stuff ed boar heads to buy provisions for the next day’s drive – cinghiale (wild boar) salami, pecorino cheese, Sagrantino wine. Take a three-hour lunch detour at Ristorante Vespasia ( p321 ) before heading to the Piano Grande ( p322 ) with a good pair of hiking boots. In May and June, no less than 17 gazillion wildfl owers surround ancient Castelluccio (it’s beautiful year-round, backed by snowcapped mountains). End the day at San Pietro in Valle’s abbey-cum-hotel and restaurant ( p325 ).
DAY 2 // ETHEREAL UMBRIAThe morning starts with a contemplative breakfast in the garden of San Pietro in Valle. Give yourself suffi cient time to digest before visiting the murderously creepy Museo delle Mummie ( p323 ) before winding up at Cascata delle Marmore around 3pm, when the Roman waterfalls ‘open’. Spend the evening dining and strolling in the rarely vis-ited hamlet of Narni ( p325 ), the historic town of Spoleto ( p314 ) or the art mecca of Todi ( p310 ).
DAY 3 // HISTORY, ART & GODSpend the morning visiting La Rocca Albornoz in Narni ( p328 ), the archaeological museum in Spoleto ( p315 ), or the shops of Todi ( p313 ) before making the scenic trek to Umbria Grill ( p309 ) for wine tasting, a cooking course or a meal. Just be sure to make it to Orvieto ( p302 ) to witness the cathedral’s golden facade during sunset.
