Gubbio is a magnificent medieval city full of historic palaces and churches. Distinguished by a suspended square, the village offers various panoramic points. Not to be missed in the month of May is the traditional Festa dei Ceri, an event deeply felt by the locals, who challenge in a race with the aim of transporting huge wooden structures with candles, up to the Basilica of Sant’Ubaldo. At the end of the race, the party continues in every square and alley with lots of good food, shows and concerts. Sweets passionate can take part in Eurochocolate, the international chocolate festival that takes place in the city of Perugia in the months of March and September. Cooking show, lots of sweets and activities for young and old characterise the event. Among the most popular destinations there is the Lake Trasimeno, the largest lake in central Italy. Surrounded by many small villages with ancient and medieval charm, it is perfect for trekking and trips out of town, but also for relaxing moments on the lake’shores.
Our booking with DH Villas was well-organised and friendly.
Villa Petroia is a very special place. The villa is a thoughtfully designed family home that is both welcoming and stylish. It is surrounded by beautiful countryside with amazing views of olive groves, castles, rolling hills and the Apennines beyond. We saw deer, wild boar, butterflies and fireflies at night.
The villa has extensive gardens and a large immaculate swimming pool right in front of the house. Fruit trees and plenty of shady spots to sit quietly are scattered throughout the garden.
It is a short drive from Villa Petroia to Assisi, Gubbio, Perugia and other Umbrian hilltop towns. Daily markets and local shops provide delicious food and there are a number of excellent local restaurants.
Villa Petroia has provided our family with a peaceful, restorative escape from busy lives and a place for adventure.
