Guided walking holiday

Walking

Italy • Umbria • Todi

Umbrian landscape The highs and lows of Umbria This little-explored landscape is rich in history and well preserved hilltop towns. Paths lead us through rolling hills, ancient beech woods, olive groves, vineyards, orchards of almonds and apricots and cool river valleys.

The Church of San Venanzo
From our hotel we follow paths through ancient woodland and vineyards where the famous Torgiano grape is grown.We continue through ancient agricultural hamlets encircled by olive groves before descending to the ancient church of San Venanzo.
