Hello! I’ll be spending 8 nights in Umbria the last week of April. I’ve a sense of some of the places I’d like to try to visit if time allows (Orvieto, Spoleto, Trevi, Montefalco, Bevagna, Spello, Assisi, Perugia, Panicale, Città della Pieve & Lago di Trasimeno, and Gubbio) by car, but just don’t have a sense of where I should base myself.
Normally, I’d bop between different towns (staying at least 2 nights each). Is that a good tact for Umbria? If so, which towns would you recommend staying in? I’ve read Assisi is particularly wise to be able to see it before and after tour buses arrive, but I’ve no sense of the others. I tend to like somewhere between slow travel and rushing to and fro, if that helps at all.
(ALSO, if anyone can recommend a car rental place in Umbria itself, I’d be so grateful. I’m thinking easier to take a train from Rome than driving into Umbria).
Thank you for any suggestions and guidance!
