A contrast between Italian and American beaches is provided.

Our travels in Urbino reveal its rich historical landmarks and underscore the value of exploring small villages for authentic cultural interactions.

Umbria Insights:

Known as the “green heart of Italy,” Umbria is celebrated for its landscapes and agricultural products, including olive oil, wine, and cured meats.

Anecdotes from a dinner party highlight the popularity of these cured meats which continue to be made in the Umbrian tradition.

Umbria’s less crowded appeal compared to Tuscany is due to fewer accommodations and the lack of a large international airport. However, the train option provides an alternative to costly private drivers.

Travel Planning:

Discussion of the unique accommodation options such as renovated castles and organic farm stays.

Kimberly’s clients are eloping in Umbria next spring and chose a one of the renovated castles we just highlighted.
