Umbria (Volterra, San Gimiangno, Orvieto, Assisi)

Well, apologies for the brief notes in this and the next blog but the cafe closes in 10 minutes....


Agritourismo just outside Volterra: amazing view of the umbrian hillside where dinner and breakfast were enjoyed outside thank you very much :)

San Gimiangno: the hilltop town with many towers (competition among the wealthy):

Orvieto: a great hill-top town (very popular/necessary in Umbria):

Last but not least, the home town of St. Francis......wonderfully peaceful and beautiful...we stayed at an amazing guesthouse run by nuns - no needs were left unprovided.
