Farmhouse Umbria: what to see in autumn
In autumn, the region experiences one last tailspin before plunging into winter hibernation. Book a farmhouse in Umbria and treat yourself to a weekend to remember.
Although it begins to get cool, in central Italy the real cold doesn't arrive before winter, so an agritourism in Umbria in autumn represents a pleasant way to escape from the big city and treat yourself to a couple of days of relaxation, culture and typical products.
And if you intend to bring the children, in autumn the farmhouses in Umbria allow you to bring your children to collect chestnuts and, on your return, to roast them on the fire, taking advantage of the ever-present fireplace of the structure. But this is only in the evening, because trust me, during the day the region offers you so many things to do that in the end two days will seem like nothing.
Farmhouse Umbria in autumn: what to visit
Autumn in Umbria on a farm means above all the smell of wood, roasted chestnuts and pumpkin soup, but once you leave, there is much waiting for you. The foliage of the woods, the silence of the sanctuaries, the villages rich in history and art represent the true heritage of the region, which acquires a very special charm in autumn.
Umbria, not surprisingly nicknamed the green heart of Italy, has a still rather untouched nature, which materializes in thick woods and turquoise lakes like topaz. To admire the foliage, which in autumn makes Umbria teeming with red, orange and yellow, it is worth taking a walk in the Monte Subasio Park, while if you prefer lakes, you can always treat yourself to a trip to Lake Trasimeno, where they nest a large number of birds and the sunsets are poetry.
For a glass of wine or a sandwich, you can always go back to civilization by visiting one of the enchanting Umbrian villages, where you can stroll without fearing for the children, given that most of these villages are crossed by narrow streets and alleys closed to traffic. Spello, Trevi, Todi, are destinations one more beautiful than the other and combine the beauty of the architecture with breathtaking panoramic views.
And what about the magic of shrines? This is the land of San Francesco d'Assisi and sleeping in a farmhouse in Umbria allows you to reach them all: the region is small and going from one to the other will be very simple.
Events and festivals in Umbria in autumn
In addition to the smells, autumn in Umbria is also famous for its flavors, which refer to an ancient gastronomic tradition, able to best enhance what the earth produces. From mushrooms to truffles, there are many agricultural products that, in your farmhouse in Umbria, you can taste freshly picked and transformed into soups, side dishes and various delicacies.
This richness allows the region to host important festivals and events, such as the white truffle festival in Città di Castello, a town closely linked to the food and wine of the Upper Tiber in Umbria, and Frantoi Aperti, the largest oil festival Italian, which offers five weekends between art, food, music and, of course, oil, the real star of the event.
In short, autumn in Umbria is synonymous with nature, art, food and there is nothing better than sleeping in a farmhouse to enjoy all of this. Thanks to the scheduled events, farmhouses in Umbria often offer all-inclusive packages, which include both accommodation and meals, to be enjoyed in the company of family and friends. Umbrian hospitality is famous: take advantage of it too.
