Umbria

Umbria, Italy June, 2025 Back to Umbria Now for the chill part of the trip…and time to practice our Italian skills. What better place to do this than at a stunning villa in the Umbrian countryside with great friends. We cooked, we pooled, we gelatoed, we truffled and we poked around a few of the local towns.

Our fabulous rooftop deck in Lecce. Amazing how our jeans match the night view!
