San Venanzo: The Choicest Little Italian Town
San Venanzo is a medieval town situated in the Province of Terni in the Umbria region with Perugia and Terni as its nearest neighbors. It is a small town that’s a perfect hideaway from the hustle and bustle of big cities. It is also quintessentially Italian in many aspects – from its quaint and pretty homes to centuries-old historical structures to lush, green surroundings to charming townsfolk as well as its exceptional Umbria food.
Best Time to Visit
April to October is the period when San Venanzo enjoys a perfect temperature. However, December, May and February are the months when more visitors come to town. Despite the increase in tourist arrivals in the area, San Venanzo Italy hotel rates basically stay. Even getting a good hotel room doesn’t pose a problem. San Venanzo celebrates the Wild Boar Festival from June 6 to 9 with a showcase of traditional Umbrian cuisine and this is slowly becoming a most sought-after food festival in the region attracting many foodies.
What to Do & Area Attractions
The 14th century church, Chiesa della Madonna Liberatrice is worth a visit while you’re in town. So is the Volcanological Park and Museum for its rare rock and mineral collection. Your choice of accommodations while in town is varied: the Villa Edera is a 4-bedroom villa that has an outdoor pool with scenic views. The Resort & Spa Fattoria di Vibio, on the other hand, has rooms with superb views of the vineyards, and yet another one is Agriturismo Santa Maria, which aside from having fine amenities also offers great service.
