The Tuscany and Umbria with Simpson Travel brochure presents a curated collection of holidays across Italy's celebrated heartland. Simpson Travel shares a passion for the destinations it offers and the service its customers enjoy, dedicated to providing the type of holiday its team would wish to take themselves.
The brochure offers a wide choice of accommodation from which to explore the idyllic landscapes and cultural heritage of central Italy. Each property has been hand-picked by someone who knows and loves this part of Italy, with locations so well chosen that even at the height of summer the peace and perfection of the surroundings remain relatively undisturbed.
Tuscany seduced the artistic geniuses of the Renaissance, with da Vinci, Michelangelo and Botticelli all born in the province. Its enchantment endures in a cultivated idyll of vineyards, olive groves and cornfields, where slim cypresses punctuate the scenery and ancient farmhouses dripping with wisteria crown the hilltops. Visitors can gaze at the vivid, remarkably preserved frescoes in Siena's Piccolomini Library, where the painted Tuscan landscapes remain astonishingly true to life.
Neighbouring Umbria has a painterly beauty of its own, fittingly the homeland of Pinturicchio, who painted the Siena panels, and of Raphael. With wooded heights rising from a rustic landscape and craggy outcrops holding aloft historic towns such as Spello, Spoleto and Perugia, this green central region is no less dramatic and in many ways more intensely Italian.
From the wine country of Chianti, Montepulciano and Orvieto to the lakelands of Trasimeno, these two regions brim with great art and architecture. Yet it is the lie of the land itself, and the pleasure of being in it, that draws visitors back time after time. In the selected villas and hotels, guests feel in touch with the spirit of the place the moment they step across the threshold, with their own room with a view, their patch on the terrace and their space by the pool.
