1. It\u2019s cheaper!<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nYou\u2019ll typically get much more for your money on a villa in Umbria<\/a> than in Tuscany. Due to the increased number of visitors in Tuscany, you\u2019ll find demand for accommodation that little bit higher which in turn leads to higher prices, not just for a hotel or a Tuscany villa<\/a>\u00a0or apartment rental, but also for food and excursions. You are also much more likely to find inflated ‘tourist’ prices for food in Tuscany in the Summer months whilst in Umbria prices tend to stay much more constant all year round.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n2. It\u2019s just as beautiful!<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThere is no denying that Tuscany is incredibly beautiful. Its cities are just as breathtaking as its rural landscape from the vineyards of the Chianti countryside to the rolling hills of the Val d’Orcia. And to top it all, it can also boast a glorious coastline with swathes of beautiful beaches. However, we reckon you\u2019ll find Umbria’s hilltop villages just as charming and attractive. And one of the most beautiful natural sights in the world is the wildflower fields of Umbria’s Castelluccio di Norcia. Across May and June each year, the Pian Grande and the Pian Perduto are filled with a rainbow of colour as poppies, cornflowers, daisies, violets, orchids and other wildflowers bloom and blossom. The spectacle is quite simply jaw-dropping.<\/p>\r\n

3. It\u2019s more authentic!<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWhilst, of course, it’s still possible to find places off the beaten track in Tuscany, we do find Umbria is that little bit more authentic than Tuscany. For us, Tuscany is the place to explore iconic cities that are instantly recognisable, whilst Umbria is a chance to discover smaller towns and villages away from the crowds. In fact, Umbria really only has two really major cities – Perugia and Terni – with Assisi and Orvieto the next largest places in Umbria in terms of size. Instead the ‘green heart’ of Italy is dotted with charming and picturesque hilltop towns and villages. Our favourite of these is Spello but coming a close second is the walled town of Montefalco, followed by Spoleto, Norcia, Bevagna and Narni.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
4. Life is just that little bit slower!<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nFor us, Umbria epitomises the slow travel movement. Slow travel is an approach to travel that focuses on connections with people and the local culture. This is not about instagram-worthy photo opportunities but about the opportunity to take a step back from day to day life and instead truly submerge yourself in what the country has to offer. Whereas you may find yourself ticking off the bucket list attractions in Tuscany’s big cities on an almost military schedule – the Uffizi, Santa Maria del Fiore, the Accademia and the Ponte Vecchio for example – in Umbria, you will have the time to embrace the simpler pleasures… a long leisurely lunch for example or the chance to explore a hidden church that didn’t even feature in the guide book. For us, these ‘slow’ experiences create the more genuine, longer lasting memories. And if travelling ‘slow’ means that you don’t manage to get everything done in one trip…. it doesn’t matter. We think it’s always wise to leave a reason to return!<\/p>\r\n

Best for City Lovers: Tuscany<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\r\nTuscany is definitely more famous than its neighbour to the East, Umbria, and part of the reason for this is its cities. Think of Tuscany and a whole host of cities spring to mind including Siena, Pisa, Lucca and San Gimignano. Whilst we love Umbria\u2019s capital city, Perugia, it simply can\u2019t compete with Tuscany\u2019s capital, Florence, which is arguably one of the most famous cities in the world.<\/p>\r\n
Best for Families:<\/strong>\u00a0Too close to call!<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\r\nWe just couldn\u2019t call this one. Wherever you go in Italy, you\u2019ll find it exceptionally family friendly. Italians love children and family holidays don\u2019t get much better than a\u00a0holiday in Italy<\/a>. Enjoy a holiday in a\u00a0villa in Umbria<\/a>\u00a0and the kids can run around the Park of the Monsters, enjoy the rides at Italy\u2019s oldest amusement park just outside Perugia or learn about the ancient Romans either underground in Amelia or above ground in Spello. But enjoy a holiday at a\u00a0villa in Tuscany<\/a>\u00a0and you can take the kids to the birthplace of Pinocchio, get close to nature at a dolphin watching experience off the coast or help them to prop up the Leaning Tower of Pisa!<\/p>\r\nCheck out all the family friendly\u00a0things to see and do in Umbria<\/a>\u00a0and in\u00a0Tuscany<\/a>.<\/p>\r\nBest for Nature Lovers: Umbria<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\r\nNot an easy call to make but Umbria just pips it for us on the nature front. What sways it for us is the incredible spectacle in the\u00a0Sibillini mountains<\/em>\u00a0which straddle both Umbria and neighbouring Le Marche. Here, in the late Spring and early Summer, a blanket of wild flowers cover the plains of the\u00a0Piano Grande<\/em>. Nothing can prepare you for just how beautiful or colourful or far-reaching the sight is. However, other events such as the\u00a0Infiorata<\/em>\u00a0in Spello also impacted on our decision. A very different way to enjoy nature, the\u00a0Infiorata<\/em>\u00a0is an annual floral spectacle in the heart of the old town of Spello. You\u2019ll find artists working on their floral masterpieces throughout the night so that local residents wake up the following morning to a town literally paved with petals.<\/p>\r\n![\"Is](\"https:\/\/bookingsforyou.com\/blog\/images\/2025\/07\/Spello-Infiorata-300x150.jpg\")

Best for Foodies:<\/strong>\u00a0Too close to call!<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\r\nWe just couldn\u2019t come off the fence on this one! Each region is renowned for their culinary specialities. You\u2019ll certainly be spoilt for choice when it comes to food options at either a stay in one of our\u00a0villas in Tuscany<\/a>\u00a0or one of our\u00a0villas in Umbria<\/a>. Think of Tuscany and you\u2019ll perhaps think of the famous\u00a0bistecca alla Fiorentina<\/em>, their delicious\u00a0panzanella<\/em>\u00a0salad, their mouth watering\u00a0pappa al pomodoro<\/em>\u00a0soups or perhaps their incredible seafood and renowned salt cod. However, think of Umbria and you\u2019ll be dreaming of Italy\u2019s \u2018green heart\u2019 home to some of Italy\u2019s finest olive oils, cured meats, salami, wheat, honey, lentils, game, meat, truffles and wild mushrooms. Our favourite meat dish in Umbria is\u00a0porchetta<\/em>\u00a0which can rival Florence\u2019s incredible steaks any day. Plus, for those with a sweet tooth, Perugia can lay claim to being the chocolate capital of Italy each October when it hosts the annual\u00a0Eurochocolate festival<\/em>. Check out\u00a0foodie guide to Italy<\/a>\u00a0for more mouth watering dishes from both Tuscany and Umbria.<\/p>\r\n![\"Is](\"https:\/\/bookingsforyou.com\/blog\/images\/2025\/07\/CHocolate-300x169.jpg\")
<\/p>\r\n
Best for Wine Enthusiasts:<\/strong>\u00a0Tuscany<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\r\nWe hope our vineyard-owning friends in Umbria still speak to us after this one! Both regions can boast a plethora of fine wines. Umbria\u2019s most famous are the white Grechetto and the red Sagrantino and Sangiovese grapes. The\u00a0Arnaldo Caprai<\/a>\u00a0vineyards in the Montefalco region of Umbria produce one of our absolutely favourite sagrantino wines. Also of note are Umbria\u2019s\u00a0Avignonesi vineyards<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Casanova di Neri<\/a>. And yet, Tuscany is Italy\u2019s oldest wine-producing region and home to Italy\u2019s most famous and largest wine producing region \u2013 Chianti. Tuscany is also home to one of the most sought-after wines in the world from the Sassicaia estate at Bolgheri.<\/p>\r\nBest for Art Lovers: Tuscany<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\r\nWe decided you can\u2019t beat the art and architecture on offer in Tuscany. The sheer volume of art on offer in Tuscany\u2019s capital city is impossible to match. Florence is home to some of the most famous artworks in the world, among them Michelangelo\u2019s\u00a0David<\/em>, Botticelli\u2019s\u00a0Birth of Venus<\/em>\u00a0and Ghiberti\u2019s\u00a0Gates of Paradise<\/em>. And during your stay at one of our\u00a0villas in Tuscany<\/a>, you\u2019ll keep coming across incredible art and architecture in every Tuscan church, village, town or city. But again, don\u2019t underestimate the incredible art and architecture that Umbria can boast too. Head into the local village church in Umbria and you will be amazed at what hidden gems you will discover.<\/p>\r\nBest for Sports Enthusiasts: Umbria<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\r\nBoth Tuscany and Umbria offer some great cycling options, both on and off road. There are also plenty of opportunities in both regions to try horse riding too. But, for us, Umbria takes the edge when it comes to offering something for the sporty folk out there. Head to Lake Trasimeno in Umbria during your stay in one of our\u00a0villas in Umbria<\/a>\u00a0to enjoy a range of water sports including sailing and windsurfing. Or opt for the Perugia Wake Park to try your hand at kitesurfing and wakeboarding. Alternatively, head to the Nera River in Umbria to enjoy a white-water rafting trip. Or make your way instead to the Roccagelli Gorge, where you can enjoy some canyoning, making your way down seven successive waterfalls, the largest of which is 16 metres high. In the Winter, you can even ski in Umbria with some fantastic cross-country skiing to be enjoyed on Monte Subasio (although admittedly the snow can be a little erratic!)<\/p>\r\nBest for the Beach: Tuscany<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\r\nAs a landlocked region, it\u2019s hard for Umbria to compete on this one. So many of\u00a0Tuscany\u2019s beaches<\/a>\u00a0are absolutely stunning and Tuscany\u2019s coastline is perfect for those looking to enjoy a beach\u00a0holiday in Italy<\/a>. However, that\u2019s not to say that Umbria doesn\u2019t have any beaches. Head to Lake Trasimeno and you will find a number of lakeside beaches to spend the day at.<\/p>\r\n![\"Is](\"https:\/\/bookingsforyou.com\/blog\/images\/2025\/07\/Cavoli-Beach-Elba-300x169.jpg\")
<\/p>\r\n
Best for Romance: Umbria<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\r\nTo be fair, we would argue that anywhere in Italy is pretty romantic! Italy oozes romance. It was also the home of Romeo and Juliet, Casanova and St Valentine. And the latter is part of the reason Umbria pips Tuscany when it comes to romantic stays. St Valentine was a former resident of Terni in Umbria and is now the town\u2019s patron saint as well as being the Patron Saint of lovers. So if you\u2019re looking to kindle some romance during your\u00a0holiday in Italy<\/a>, what better place to do so than in birthplace of St Valentine\u2019s Day! However, to be fair, Terni is far from the best example of Umbria\u2019s charming hilltop towns and villages. Instead, opt for a romantic break in Spello, Orvieto, Montefalco, Assisi or Spoleto. These may not be able to compete with Tuscany\u2019s larger cities in terms of size but in terms of authenticity, charm and romance, they win hands down.<\/p>\r\n![\"Is](\"https:\/\/bookingsforyou.com\/blog\/images\/2025\/07\/Spello-Gates-300x150.jpg\")
<\/p>\r\n
All that being said, you won\u2019t go wrong with either a\u00a0Tuscany villa<\/a>\u00a0holiday or an Umbria villa<\/a> holiday. Both regions are stunning and both have a timeless appeal that draws holidaymakers and tourists back year after year. Yes, we often prefer the slower pace of Umbria to the hustle and bustle of Tuscany, but that perhaps reflects the need to escape from the crazy pace of normal life for a week or two.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n

Nothing can prepare you for just how beautiful or colourful or far-reaching the sight is. However, other events such as the\u00a0Infiorata<\/em>\u00a0in Spello also impacted on our decision. A very different way to enjoy nature, the\u00a0Infiorata<\/em>\u00a0is an annual floral spectacle in the heart of the old town of Spello. You\u2019ll find artists working on their floral masterpieces throughout the night so that local residents wake up the following morning to a town literally paved with petals.<\/p>\r\n<\/p>\r\n
Best for Foodies:<\/strong>\u00a0Too close to call!<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\r\nWe just couldn\u2019t come off the fence on this one! Each region is renowned for their culinary specialities. You\u2019ll certainly be spoilt for choice when it comes to food options at either a stay in one of our\u00a0villas in Tuscany<\/a>\u00a0or one of our\u00a0villas in Umbria<\/a>. Think of Tuscany and you\u2019ll perhaps think of the famous\u00a0bistecca alla Fiorentina<\/em>, their delicious\u00a0panzanella<\/em>\u00a0salad, their mouth watering\u00a0pappa al pomodoro<\/em>\u00a0soups or perhaps their incredible seafood and renowned salt cod. However, think of Umbria and you\u2019ll be dreaming of Italy\u2019s \u2018green heart\u2019 home to some of Italy\u2019s finest olive oils, cured meats, salami, wheat, honey, lentils, game, meat, truffles and wild mushrooms. Our favourite meat dish in Umbria is\u00a0porchetta<\/em>\u00a0which can rival Florence\u2019s incredible steaks any day. Plus, for those with a sweet tooth, Perugia can lay claim to being the chocolate capital of Italy each October when it hosts the annual\u00a0Eurochocolate festival<\/em>. Check out\u00a0foodie guide to Italy<\/a>\u00a0for more mouth watering dishes from both Tuscany and Umbria.<\/p>\r\n<\/p>\r\n
Best for Wine Enthusiasts:<\/strong>\u00a0Tuscany<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\r\nWe hope our vineyard-owning friends in Umbria still speak to us after this one! Both regions can boast a plethora of fine wines. Umbria\u2019s most famous are the white Grechetto and the red Sagrantino and Sangiovese grapes. The\u00a0Arnaldo Caprai<\/a>\u00a0vineyards in the Montefalco region of Umbria produce one of our absolutely favourite sagrantino wines. Also of note are Umbria\u2019s\u00a0Avignonesi vineyards<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Casanova di Neri<\/a>. And yet, Tuscany is Italy\u2019s oldest wine-producing region and home to Italy\u2019s most famous and largest wine producing region \u2013 Chianti. Tuscany is also home to one of the most sought-after wines in the world from the Sassicaia estate at Bolgheri.<\/p>\r\nBest for Art Lovers: Tuscany<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\r\nWe decided you can\u2019t beat the art and architecture on offer in Tuscany. The sheer volume of art on offer in Tuscany\u2019s capital city is impossible to match. Florence is home to some of the most famous artworks in the world, among them Michelangelo\u2019s\u00a0David<\/em>, Botticelli\u2019s\u00a0Birth of Venus<\/em>\u00a0and Ghiberti\u2019s\u00a0Gates of Paradise<\/em>. And during your stay at one of our\u00a0villas in Tuscany<\/a>, you\u2019ll keep coming across incredible art and architecture in every Tuscan church, village, town or city. But again, don\u2019t underestimate the incredible art and architecture that Umbria can boast too. Head into the local village church in Umbria and you will be amazed at what hidden gems you will discover.<\/p>\r\nBest for Sports Enthusiasts: Umbria<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\r\nBoth Tuscany and Umbria offer some great cycling options, both on and off road. There are also plenty of opportunities in both regions to try horse riding too. But, for us, Umbria takes the edge when it comes to offering something for the sporty folk out there. Head to Lake Trasimeno in Umbria during your stay in one of our\u00a0villas in Umbria<\/a>\u00a0to enjoy a range of water sports including sailing and windsurfing. Or opt for the Perugia Wake Park to try your hand at kitesurfing and wakeboarding. Alternatively, head to the Nera River in Umbria to enjoy a white-water rafting trip. Or make your way instead to the Roccagelli Gorge, where you can enjoy some canyoning, making your way down seven successive waterfalls, the largest of which is 16 metres high. In the Winter, you can even ski in Umbria with some fantastic cross-country skiing to be enjoyed on Monte Subasio (although admittedly the snow can be a little erratic!)<\/p>\r\nBest for the Beach: Tuscany<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\r\nAs a landlocked region, it\u2019s hard for Umbria to compete on this one. So many of\u00a0Tuscany\u2019s beaches<\/a>\u00a0are absolutely stunning and Tuscany\u2019s coastline is perfect for those looking to enjoy a beach\u00a0holiday in Italy<\/a>. However, that\u2019s not to say that Umbria doesn\u2019t have any beaches. Head to Lake Trasimeno and you will find a number of lakeside beaches to spend the day at.<\/p>\r\n<\/p>\r\n
Best for Romance: Umbria<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\r\nTo be fair, we would argue that anywhere in Italy is pretty romantic! Italy oozes romance. It was also the home of Romeo and Juliet, Casanova and St Valentine. And the latter is part of the reason Umbria pips Tuscany when it comes to romantic stays. St Valentine was a former resident of Terni in Umbria and is now the town\u2019s patron saint as well as being the Patron Saint of lovers. So if you\u2019re looking to kindle some romance during your\u00a0holiday in Italy<\/a>, what better place to do so than in birthplace of St Valentine\u2019s Day! However, to be fair, Terni is far from the best example of Umbria\u2019s charming hilltop towns and villages. Instead, opt for a romantic break in Spello, Orvieto, Montefalco, Assisi or Spoleto. These may not be able to compete with Tuscany\u2019s larger cities in terms of size but in terms of authenticity, charm and romance, they win hands down.<\/p>\r\n<\/p>\r\n
All that being said, you won\u2019t go wrong with either a\u00a0Tuscany villa<\/a>\u00a0holiday or an Umbria villa<\/a> holiday. Both regions are stunning and both have a timeless appeal that draws holidaymakers and tourists back year after year. Yes, we often prefer the slower pace of Umbria to the hustle and bustle of Tuscany, but that perhaps reflects the need to escape from the crazy pace of normal life for a week or two.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n
If you\u2019d like some help finding the perfect\u00a0Tuscany villa<\/a> or Umbria villa<\/a>, then do get in touch with\u00a0Italy villa rental<\/a>\u00a0specialists,\u00a0Bookings For You<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n
<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nTuscany is definitely more famous than its neighbour to the East, Umbria, and part of the reason for this is its cities. Think of Tuscany and a whole host of cities spring to mind including Siena, Pisa, Lucca and San Gimignano. Whilst we love Umbria\u2019s capital city, Perugia, it simply can\u2019t compete with Tuscany\u2019s capital, Florence, which is arguably one of the most famous cities in the world.<\/p>\r\n
Best for Families:<\/strong>\u00a0Too close to call!<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\r\nWe just couldn\u2019t call this one. Wherever you go in Italy, you\u2019ll find it exceptionally family friendly. Italians love children and family holidays don\u2019t get much better than a\u00a0holiday in Italy<\/a>. Enjoy a holiday in a\u00a0villa in Umbria<\/a>\u00a0and the kids can run around the Park of the Monsters, enjoy the rides at Italy\u2019s oldest amusement park just outside Perugia or learn about the ancient Romans either underground in Amelia or above ground in Spello. But enjoy a holiday at a\u00a0villa in Tuscany<\/a>\u00a0and you can take the kids to the birthplace of Pinocchio, get close to nature at a dolphin watching experience off the coast or help them to prop up the Leaning Tower of Pisa!<\/p>\r\nCheck out all the family friendly\u00a0things to see and do in Umbria<\/a>\u00a0and in\u00a0Tuscany<\/a>.<\/p>\r\nBest for Nature Lovers: Umbria<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\r\nNot an easy call to make but Umbria just pips it for us on the nature front. What sways it for us is the incredible spectacle in the\u00a0Sibillini mountains<\/em>\u00a0which straddle both Umbria and neighbouring Le Marche.
