A relaxing weekend in Umbria, Italy

Anyone looking for a holiday immersed in relaxing, combined with taste and art is the answer to Umbria, a region rich in vegetation but also of history, where kindness is at home.
The weekend spent in Umbria was very nice, thanks to what I have discovered a region that I knew could offer so much. I invite all those who have not yet done so to visit it because it you would be amazed, also people are very kind and heart.

We stayed in a great hotel (3 ***) at Assisi, with affordable prices and excellent cuisine. If you go to Umbria you can not taste the wonderful cake to the text, can be found anywhere because it is a typical dish of the region.
I can say that compared to other famous cities around Perugia and has reasonable prices, then buy a simple gift will not cost you as Venice or Rome. But if you buy handicrafts such as ceramics, which are very famous in those parts, or you will find many shops selling drove out many details (especially in Assisi), then prices rise dramatically. But there are also shops of traditional products, such as wine, cheese and cured meats that are really good.
