Italy’s green heart beats in Umbria!

VILLA AUGUSTA is located in the municipality of San Venanzo. Its location makes it easy to reach many tourist attractions within just a few minutes by car. The convenient four-lane E45 highway runs through all of Umbria from north to south, connecting many sites that feature artistic masterpieces, medieval villages, and Etruscan cities of great historical and artistic interest.

Perugia is just a 30-minute drive away. Founded first by the Etruscans and later developed by the Romans, it boasts a beautiful medieval historic center, including the famous Fontana Maggiore from the 1200s. It is also world-renowned for the National Gallery of Umbria, which houses works by some of the greatest Italian masters such as Giotto and Perugino.
Music lovers will also enjoy Umbria Jazz, an internationally acclaimed summer music festival held in Perugia.

Assisi, the birthplace of Saint Francis, is a 40-minute drive away. It is a unique and mystical place, with beautiful surroundings that reveal the fascinating origins of Christianity.

To the south of VILLA AUGUSTA lies the stunning city of Orvieto, with spectacular attractions such as the Cathedral (Duomo) and St. Patrick’s Well (Pozzo di San Patrizio), both outstanding examples of high medieval architecture.

The region offers countless things to see and do—from Lake Trasimeno to all the small villages perched on green hills, each one hiding its own artistic treasures both large and small.
Last but not least, the great food! If you enjoy good food and wine, you’re in the right place. Sit back, relax, and enjoy your meal—Buon appetito!
