Book Description
There is no one better to uncover the secrets of Umbria, Italy’s ‘Green Heart’, than Italian experts Dana Facaros and Michael Pauls. Having lived there for three years, they know just where to seek out the delights of this bewitching region, to the east of its better-known neighbour, Tuscany. Discover magnificent Assisi, the home of St Francis; take in Gubbio, a medieval gem to rival Siena; enjoy the extraordinary Renaissance treasures of Spoleto. After all that culture, they lead you to the dinner table to enjoy Umbrian specialities, from pasta with truffles to ‘drunken’ chicken, made using the famous white wines of Orvieto. All restaurants are personally researched, so you can be sure you will enjoy some of the best tastes the culinary world can offer, as the sun beats down on some secluded terrace. The guide is also packed full of information about festivals, markets and vineyards to give you a real taste of local life, alongside some of Italy’s most remarkable sights.

This review is from: Umbria (Paperback)
We bought this guide, along with a few others for a recent rip to Italy. Looking back on the trip, we used this one extensively while in Umbria so I'd have to say it was very useful. Coverage on what to see and do in various cities and small towns was excellent. Coverage on where to stay and what to eat was minimal, though. Overall, a useful focused guide for this beautiful region of Italy.

Superb trip planner, July 28 2011

This review is from: Umbria (Paperback)
We had a house rented in Umbria and seven days to fill. This was the right book. The book had lists, which I liked. As in "Umbria's top 10 things to see" and we knocked off nine of them. You can only look at so many frescoes and I liked the anecdotes on the history of inter-town strifes. The only improvement I might make was more detailed road maps. We had a car with a GPS but I didn't figure out how to work it until the end. You can make a lot of wrong turns in Umbria, even though I like the rotary system.The best praise I can give is that I would look for the Cadogan book on any next area we go to.
