The upper Tiber Valley or 'Valtiberina' is a wonderful part of Italy still very unspoilt and very Italian. Umbria has an array of wonderful places to visit with towns such as Perugia and Citta di Castello, Assisi, Gubbio, and more wonderful hilltop villages and towns then you can possibly visit. Being right on the Tuscan Umbrian border it is ideally situated for exploring both of these areas. The upper Tiber Valley is historically quite a wealthy area and the towns are very well preserved and looked after. From May to November there is an array of festivals happening in the region, which is still very traditional and proud of its roots. During the spring and summer there are flower and music festivals taking place throughout the region, such as 'Umbria Jazz' in Perugia and 'Under the Tuscan Sun' in Cortona. In the autumn there are several festivals selling local produce such as wild boar, porcini mushrooms and truffles. This area offers a perfect balance between relax. and culture.
