In the mood for dolce far niente, or perhaps for something to get your lungs pumping? How about fascinating encounters with culture or an excursion into history? The churches, monasteries and palaces of Perugia, Todi, Spoleto, Assisi and Norcia beckon: From La Gioia, you can conveniently explore all of Umbria's spectacular sights.

Or use La Gioia as your home base to pursue a host of outdoor sports activities: horseback riding, hiking, mountain biking, river rafting or golfing.
And there's no better place to unwind after having plunged into Umbria Jazz, the Spoleto Music Festival or one of the many local happenings.
