Umbria, often called Italy’s "green heart," is a dream destination for golf enthusiasts seeking more than just a great game. Its rolling hills, dotted with vineyards, olive groves, and charming medieval towns, create a serene and picturesque environment for a truly relaxing holiday.
What makes Umbria stand out is its ability to offer a holistic travel experience. Golfers can enjoy rounds at world-class courses like Antognolla and then immerse themselves in the region’s rich history, art, and culture. Known for its authenticity, Umbria invites visitors to savor traditional cuisine, sample its famous wines, and explore unspoiled landscapes. Moreover, its central location makes it easily accessible from Rome and Florence, making it a convenient yet extraordinary choice for your next golfing getaway.
Umbria is not only a golfer’s paradise but also a treasure trove of Christian history and spirituality. The region is deeply tied to the lives of St. Francis of Assisi and St. Benedict, two of the most influential figures in Christian history. Pilgrims and travelers alike are drawn to iconic landmarks such as the Basilica of St. Francis, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its stunning frescoes by Giotto, and the serene Eremo delle Carceri, a hermitage where St. Francis meditated amidst nature.
Visitors can also explore the majestic Orvieto Cathedral, renowned for its intricate Gothic facade, and the charming town of Norcia, the birthplace of St. Benedict, with its ancient monastery steeped in history. Other highlights include the Spoleto Cathedral, home to frescoes by Filippo Lippi, and the Church of Santa Maria degli Angeli, which houses the Porziuncola, a sacred chapel central to Franciscan tradition. Each of these sites offers a profound connection to faith and a journey through centuries of spiritual legacy.
