Tendi at Camping Il Collaccio

How best to explore your Umbria surroundings? Well, you could start by taking a wander to the nearby hilltop village of Castelvecchio di Preci (five minutes’ walk) – or you could throw yourselves right into longer hikes in the Monti Sibillini National Park (10 minutes’ drive), which has forest, river and gorge scenery to explore as well as some cute villages and historic sights. For more of that fabulous local scenery, take the cable car up to the top of Monte Bove (45 minutes), from where you can see all the way to the sea. Or, if you’re here in spring, wander through the flower-filled fields of Fioritura di Castelluccio (45 minutes). A trip to Montefalco (50 minutes) gives you views of the vineyards… and the chance to taste the wines they produce. To take in some of the area’s history and architecture, make your way to Spoleto (45 minutes) or up to Assisi (an hour and 10 minutes), where you can visit the UNESCO-listed Basilica of Saint Francis.
