The Italian province of Umbria shares many of its pastoral pleasures with Tuscany, its northern neighbor. Ancient Etruscan villages dot the hillsides which are swathed in vineyards and olive groves, and the landscapes have similarly enchanted artists who try to capture its bucolic essence and endless shades of green.
Its capital, Perugia, is two hours from Rome or Florence by car or train, and from here it’s a short drive to the magical estate of Tenuta di Murlo, which covers a sprawling 18,000 acres (to put that into perspective, Manhattan is just over 14,000 acres).
