In Tuscany and Umbria:

Destinations, Attractions and Trips in Umbria, Italy

The Umbria region is located in the heart of Italy. It borders Tuscany and is located to its southeast. It has ancient cities and landscapes similar to Tuscany, but it is not as famous and touristy as Tuscany, and that is actually its advantage over Tuscany because it is less crowded and commercialized, more authentic, and hence cheaper for the tourist. Another advantage is that Umbria is closer to Rome, about an hour's drive from Rome to the Umbrian border and two and a quarter hours to Perugia, the capital of Umbria. Therefore, Umbria is a more successful and cheaper destination that combines well with a trip to Rome.

Farm Stay Near Rome

Families wishing to travel in Rome and its surroundings encounter a characteristic problem of any large city: where to live at a reasonable price and in a spacious and quiet place? Hotels in Rome are very expensive and in return for the many Euros paid, you get small and cramped rooms that usually do not accommodate families of 4-5 people.
When traveling with children, it is very comfortable to stay in a spacious place with a kitchen (or kitchenette), far from the city noise, so that when you return to the room at the end of a day of touring, you can walk a little in nature and do sports, recreation, and fun. La Meridiana Farm meets all these requirements and even beyond that.
The farm owners are a charming couple: he is Italian and she is Canadian from Quebec, who together with their daughter, Paola, thought of every detail and turned an old building on their farm into high-standard apartments and guest rooms. They are fluent in English and French, which is a great relief in Italy where not many master these languages.
