Our impeccable personal service and attention to detail are what make clients book with us again and again. We can help you organize every aspect of your Italian vacation including seamless transfers, the perfect accommodations and activities that meet all of your group’s desires.
Il Gusto del Paese takes pride in our excellent relationships with Umbria’s locals who open their doors to our guests offering access to tours, tastings, outdoor activities, and genuine Italian experiences that you won’t find in guidebooks.
If you dream of the authentic Italian countryside: rolling hills, historic castles, farm houses, medieval hilltop towns, Etruscan art, hand painted ceramics, vineyards and olive groves – come to Umbria, the heart of Italy where you’ll experience Il Gusto del Paese: A Taste of the Country!
