Book Description
Cadogan's acclaimed guide is the perfect travelling companion to the "green heart of Italy." The authors--one-time Umbrian residents--take the reader deep into bucolic valleys and wooded hills, while their illuminating commentary showcases the architectural heritage of this bewitching region.
Hand-picked, unusual places to stay and eat, easy-to-use maps, clear layout and rich cultural background detail combine with reliable advice on everything from Renaissance palazzos and colorful feste to rural agriturismi and tantalizing vineyards.
Lingering tales of an eventful history full of Roman and Medieval treasures are skillfully relayed alongside mouth-watering insights into the robust flavors of the region in a guide that is as fascinating as it is practical.

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.
Listmania!
