Gualdo Tadino, Umbria

Explore the Cities and Towns of Umbria

Overview

When one thinks of Umbria, one imagines a region rich in medieval towns perched on the hilltops and mountain side. Foligno represents one of the few exceptions, a medieval town built on the low lying land. In this Foligno is unique.

Foligno is also about age old traditions, which are still held closely observed. One of the occasions not to be missed is Giostra della Quintana, an equestrian display accompanied by marvelous period costumes, tournaments and medieval gastronmic fare, reliving the 1400s, and which catapults the visitor in to the atmosphere of ancient times.

In addition to the local traditions, one is struck by imposing historical buildings such as the Cathedral, the Palazzo Comunale, Palazzo Pretorio, Palazzo Orfini, Palazzo Trinci, the Romanesque Church of St Maria Infraportas, the Abbey of Sassovivo. Foligno is medieval art immersed in unspoilt nature, in the valley where the River Topino flows, a place to relax and reflect which will not easily be forgotten.

I would like to start of by saying "THANK YOU" both for the amazing job you did on our trip. There was n ... [Read More]

I am a travel agent from Lebanon and have organized several group tours as well as individual tours of Italy with Italy Vacation Specialists. I highly recommend them as one of the very best tour operators in Italy to work with, given their professionalism and work ethic which I feel is second-to-none in the travel industry.

This company really knows their stuff and recommended our family to stay longer in each location. We didn't listen to them, but wished we had in every single place we went. They recommended Sestri Levante over the Cinque Terre which was our favourite destination on our entire trip. We visited Rome where we stayed in the outstanding Hotel Locorno where they know the owner there, like in every place ... [Read More]

I went to high school with the owner of the company who organized my honeymoon for myself and my now wife from Tokyo. We spent three short weeks seeing Piedmont and experiencing wine paradise there, then heading to Nice in France with our private driver and flying to Rome where honestly 4 days is NOT enough. They keep saying to spend more time and we could not agree more! You need to spend more ti ... [Read More]

I have traveled to Italy 2x with the IVS for my own pleasure trips and 2x for business with IVS. These guys really pay attention and make your trip go like clockwork. Italy is nuts, just saying! There are so many rules and restrictions now, so we did not want to drive ourselves. Having traveled with them many times and done business on several occasions, most definitely USE this company. They k ... [Read More]
