Traveling to Umbria by train is a breeze. Jump on a train in Rome and you can be right in the ‘green heart’ of Italy in less than 2 hours.
Umbria is a stunning region – steeped in history, and peppered with perfectly preserved ancient hilltop towns and villages. What we love most about traveling by train in Umbria, is the ease by which you can hop between these top Italian destinations by train. This makes Umbria an excellent option for a car-free holiday in Italy. Foligno, Spello, Assisi, and Perugia are an excellent combination of locations to visit by train, all in one Italian villa holiday. With journey times between these charming towns as little as 7 minutes, you can see so much of this region even on a short break in Umbria.
We always recommend booking tickets in advance at Trainline, where you can opt for an e-ticket to store on your phone and make your travel more sustainable by going paper-free. Trainline also allows you to see all rail operators on a route and easily compare journey times, routes and prices as well as searching for stations in both English and Italian.
Our recommendation is to use Spello as a base for your holiday in Umbria. A picturesque hilltop town; history oozes from its ancient walls and its meandering alleys are filled with the sumptuous smells of world-famous Umbrian cuisine. Our villas and apartments in Spello are firm favourites with our Bookings For You guests. We hope you enjoy them as much as we do.
