If what you really need is to unplug and relax, Tuscia in winter is the ideal destination. The streets, squares, and monuments are quiet when wrapped in a cloak of fog, and balmy when the winter sun shines bright. Restaurants are cozy with lit fireplaces, and temperatures are generally comfortable enough to take long scenic walks in the countryside. You may want to consider Tuscia in winter if you are looking for a spot for a creative or spiritual retreat, some serious couple time with your sweetheart, or just a chance to enjoy one of the most popular countries in Europe without the summer crowds.
Though it may be tempting to spend your winter evenings in Tuscia curled up by the fire with a stack of books, there are a number of cultural events and music festivals held across the region to tempt you. The most important include Umbria Jazz Winter, held in Orvieto over the New Year’s holidays and featuring live jazz, blues, and gospel concerts and performances in venues across the historic center, including the city’s opulent theater and famous cathedral; and the season for Amici della Musica, which includes classical concerts and performances in historic churches and palazzi across the region from September to May.
See you in Tuscia. Villa Tirrena awaits you with the fireplace burning!
