The city of Trevi, is like a little jewel nestling in the green heart of Umbria, it is full of Medieval monuments and houses dating from the Renaissance period. Trevi has been accepted since 2003 into the Club which lists ‘The most beautiful villages in Italy’and has long been a member of the ‘Slow City’ Association. The City association recommends a cultural circuit which satisfies the appetite of true art lovers. Within Historic Umbria it is possible to enjoy many museums, churches and monuments and its more contemporary attractions such as the Trevi Flash Art Museum of Contemporary Art. When you walk amongst the silence and unchanged streets of the historical centre of the village and discover the wonderful views from the Piaggia district of the surrounding countryside, you will feel as if you almost have a birds eye view over the splendid Valle Spoletana below, it is a most unforgettable experience which is truly difficult to describe. This little city has excellent communication links and is only a few kilometres from other wonderful centres such as Spoleto, Foligno, Bevagna and Montefalco, and within 30 minutes to one hour’s drive you will discover other fascinating places to visit such as Todi, Orvieto, Assisi and Perugia which are probably the most famous centres to be found in beautiful Umbria.
