Would you believe me if I told you that I didn’t know Assisi was in Italy until our week in Umbria with Our Whole Village? It’s true, I didn’t. Our post is about unmissable Assisi, and touring Assisi with kids. There are some hidden highlight in Assisi that you mustn’t miss! Assisi I’d heard of …

A lady knew a lady who had a truffle dog and she maybe, just possibly, would take us on a truffle hunting expedition. Umbria …
The Gubbio cable car was a shock to me this morning. I knew our group was planning to take a ride from the ancient town of Gubbio up Monte Ingino to the Basilica di Sant’Ubaldo. I’d imagined a sort of gondola or ski lift style conveyance. Jaws hit the deck when we saw the contraption that was …
