Central Italy Holidays

A Tapestry of Coast, Countryside and Culture

Immerse yourself in the soul of Central Italy, where the gentle Adriatic breezes of the Marche mingle with the verdant hills of Umbria and the storied streets of Lazio.

ExpertoItaly invites you to explore three distinct regions—each offering its own harmony of flavours, vistas and heritage.

Your Regional Highlights

Marche: Adriatic Elegance & Hilltop Heritage

Begin by the sparkling Conero Riviera, where turquoise waters lap at pebbled coves. Drift inland to discover medieval gems such as Urbino and Fermo, perched high above olive-grove valleys. Sample the region’s famed Verdicchio wine at family-run cantine and savour freshly caught seafood in seaside trattorie.

🏖️ Swim beneath the cliffs of the Conero Riviera in hidden beaches like Due Sorelle and Mezzavalle

🏛️ Walk the Renaissance streets of Urbino, UNESCO-listed and birthplace of Raphael

🎭 Experience open-air opera at Macerata’s Sferisterio Arena—an unforgettable night under the stars

“Discover Conero’s hidden paradise: where alabaster cliffs plunge into the Adriatic and secluded pebble coves invite you to bask in turquoise serenity.”

 

Umbria: Earthy Charms & Ancient Echoes

Venture into Italy’s green heart, tracing winding country lanes beneath umbrella pines. Wander through sunflower fields and fragrant oak woods in search of black truffles with expert foragers. Uncover Etruscan tombs at Tarquinia or watch the sunset gild the walls of Orvieto’s cathedral.

🏞️ Follow scenic country roads through rolling hills, vineyards and olive groves between Assisi, Spello and Bevagna

⛵ Relax by Lake Trasimeno, where fishing villages, olive groves and medieval fortresses meet peaceful waters

🎨 Admire Orvieto’s Duomo—a Gothic jewel glowing gold at sunset

Lazio: Papal Grandeur & Timeless Rome

Delight in the pastoral splendour of Castel Gandolfo, the Pope’s summer enclave overlooking Lake Albano. Meander through the storied streets of Viterbo, with its medieval palaces and hushed cloisters. Then lose yourself in Rome’s quieter corners: hidden piazzas, frescoed chapels and the soft glow of lantern-lit lanes.

🎨 Seek out hidden Rome, from frescoed chapels in Trastevere to secret courtyards and silent basilicas
