“I have a dream…” – and I’ve had one for many years: I’d like to share Umbria with a small group of 10 persons, offering with them “MY” Umbria, giving them a unique, insider’s view.
We’d celebrate Umbria’s May festivals, have unique encounters with the locals in every Umbrian hill town we tour – and of course, spend time with our rural friends, “national treasures” of Italy.
Now’s the time to put this “Umbrian experience” together: by next May, we’ll have ready two other countryside apartments right behind our farmhouse. The one we are now renting has three spacious bedrooms, two baths…and you can see it above (roof has solar panels). Coming up: a spacious apartment for a couple – and another apartment with two bedrooms, two baths. Five couples can comfortably stay in our country guesthouse.
Pino’s crew will take care of the building. My job is put together this tour, in collaboration with a travel agency. Many details to resolve before we can launch the ten-day May 2106 “AnnesUmbria” experience.
But remember, only ten people can join in this absolutely unforgettable (I promise!) experience.
Will you be one of them?

Anne, this sounds fantastic. Will definitely consider. Please send me more details. Thanks, Jeff
Oh Anne, this sounds WONDERFUL!!! Please keep me posted on this. I am planning a trip to Umbria for next May and I think we are 9 or 10 people. I can only imagine what an amazing trip this would be.
Gary and I would be interested. Please keep us posted.
Anne, I am definitely interested in joining you on this marvelous Umbrian adventure. Indeed, you can count on me to be there if you have room in your group for me. Please keep me posted with details as they develop. Hoping to see you in May!
Anne,
Zack and I are very interested! 2016 is not possible, but 2017 would be great! Will you put us on the wait list?
warmly,
Meg
Very interested in this wonderful sounding trip
THANKS to each of you have written and now keeping a file as so many wish to join in
Kindly asking each interested to email me..and I will reply to each email
Mille grazie!
Oh, Annie! Would so LOVE to do this! Keep be posted! Thanks so much!
Anne, I’d love more information on the 10 days–sounds wonderful, I’ve been wanting to come to Gubbio again, this would be a perfect time!
Yes, my husband and I are very interested. What is the next step(s). have you worked up a cost and dates? I’m pretty sure I wrangle up 4 more people. Can you offer it sans festivals–more than once. I know the festivals are the most important part, but having you as a guide would be just as colorful.
I am now keeping a list of those interested the tour with dates probably May 2nd to 10th approximately
I am working on pricing all this now.
Will now accept “POSSIBLY” requests and will keep tabs in order of requests in – as so many notes coming to me about this
Always BEST to email me! Grazie to each
Please put me on the waiting list for 2017, Anne. It’ll be a splendid way to celebrate my 60th birthday!
Stephanie, glad to have you at our home for your birthday / can plan an entire tour for you and friends, promising you an unforgettable celebration, a birthday to remember always

Anne I would like to continue to receive information about this tour though it may not be until 2017 before we can be in Umbria again. Congratulations on developing such a unique opportunity for people to share your Italy.
I am very interested in an Umbria tour next year, preferably in Oct. 2016. Please keep me posted as to what will be available and the cost.
Marie, not sure about a tour in October as yet,…why not just come on your own.? Kindly email on this…
Dear Anne, I am very interested in taking the 10 day visit to umbria in May 2016. I will be in Rome at that time. thank you.
Hi Ann, Please keep me posted. We are planning a family of 9-10 adults European vacation in the next 2 years.
Thanks, Sue, for your to and kindly email me when you are ready to head our way…if our guesthouse is available, the perfect “base” for your explorations for up to 10 persons…
Marie, please let me know when you wish to come, how many persons / as rental rate depends on number of persons in your party, length of stay and time period.
Rates very reasonable: assured!
Wow Anne…What a great idea!
After having a peak inside you guest rooms when we were there last fall, I am sure your guests will be more than pleased.
I hope to return to Assisi (and Orvieto;Keegan and Francesca were wonderful) again in the next few years.
All the best!
Hi Anne, my friend and I are very interested in your “dream” tour in May, 2016. Please let me know when we should confirm the reservation.
Thank you,
Carol
Mi piace molto lo stile di descrizione. Ovviamente avete gia’ parecchio interesse. Mi piacerebbe conoscere la vostra Umbria. Ho vissuto a Firenze nel ’71 e ho studiato a Padova molti anni fa. Sono di California (cinese-americana), ma molto del mio cuore rimane in Italia. Magari potrei partecipare, se mai, in un gruppo italiano? Grazie per il contributo.
Kindly email specific information when it is available. I’m sure your May trip will book up immediately. Will you do several Spring and Fall trips?
Interested in Umbria trips. Please put me on the list.
Many thanks.
Please send me information on your May 2016 Umbrian tour, and please place me on your wait list.
Grazie mille,
Bob/Roberto
yes, this May event if overflowing with requests….so will create other adventures in perhaps June, Sept, Oct….working on the “inaugural” one now!
New blog piece on this coming up soon!
Sandra, Bob, kindly email me letting me know how many interested in this tour in early May?
Mille grazie
Annie
please keep me posted about May plans for umbria.
I arrive in Italy May 15th and hope your program is available.
many thanks, Andrea
Looks like you are already booked up…I would be interested as well. I would like more info on where, what is included and cost. Sounds wonderful. Phyllis
I am very interested in your May tour. If that is full, please let me know about other possibilities. My husband and I have been to Italy many times. He died several months ago, and now I would love to go on a tour similar to what you are offering.
SARAH and all…am now working on fine-tuning the May program and will be writing soon about in on my blog.
Buon Anno Nuovo to all
!Annie
