It is time to return to the heart of the Umbrian hills and the divine Locanda del Gallo! Locanda del Gallo is midway between Gubbio and Perugia and sits prominently on a ridge stretching into the heart of a valley with commanding views over gardens, woodland and terraced lawns. It also boasts an olive grove and many beautiful secret gems for you to discover. The whole 70 acres exudes a peace and tranquility which creates a supremely conducive setting for steeping in the yoga practices twice daily, as well as enjoying the small moorish style spa that features a Turkish bath and a salon to sip tea while soaking in the verdant landscape. Treating yourself to a stellar massage before enjoying the salt water swimming pool and a jacuzzi hot tub.
A trip to Italy is as much about the divine cuisine as anything else – let’s be honest! Locanda’s kitchen garden provides organically grown vegetables while the olive oil comes from their olive grove. The chef freshly prepares our meals in the Mediterannean tradition of staying close to the land while making everything from scratch. There are a variety of rooms and suites, each beautifully appointed with furniture chosen on various journeys by the owners Paola and Irish and with each one featuring a private bathroom.
Gubbio, Perugia, Assisi, Todi, Orvieto, and Spoleto are all close by. All Umbria’s medieval towns are filled with history and treasures, ancient streets and alleyways are flanked with palaces and elegant houses, delightful shops and boutiques, and of course breathtaking views glimpsed from many a street corner. Claire will organize several excursions during our time in Umbria for you to take part in should you choose. There is an ease which is palpable in the air here and a way of life that is intoxicating in its beauty and simplicity.
