Exquisite hotels

As well as the year-round historic and cultural sites, frescoes and fortresses and expansive rolling hills with olives and vineries, there are highlights to look out for too:
- Palio Dei Terzieri – On the third Sunday in August, near Perugia the town of Pieve competes in an archery competition firing at symbolic bulls.
- Agosto Corcianese – Throughout August in the medieval city of Corciano you can enjoy cultural and gastronomic festivities.
- Calendimaggio in Assisi – At the beginning of May, spring is heralded with singing, dancing and games in this three day festival.
