Umbria hotels
As in Tuscany, Umbrian hotels tend to be either classic town houses in città d'arte (like Spoleto, Gubbio, or Todi), or country retreats, some of which offer a range of activities, like massage, horseback riding, and cooking courses. Which you choose depends not only on personal preference, but also on factors like time of year (most of the rural hotels are only open between April and October) and whether or not you mean to rent a car (near-essential in the country). Whichever you go for, you'll find that room rates tend to be significantly lower than in the more desirable parts of Tuscany: There are still some great-value beds in the €100 range (about $140), and for €200 a night you can land something very nice indeed.
