luxury umbria villas

One of my favorite memories of high school is coming back to shape my future right now. When I was a junior taking Italian in high school, I had the greatest class trip ever and because of that I am now researching apartments in Umbria. All of the kids who were already taking college level Italian in my school had the option of going on and taking an experiential trip over the summer to Italy. I of course knew right away that there was no way I was going to miss a trip like this for the world. The trip would last about two and a half months and cost a good bit of money which I did not myself have. So I convinced my parents to fork over the money and they told me to call every day, which I did not do when I got there. So anyway, we began our trip from Sardinia where our plane landed. We spent a week there just checking out all of the amazing architecture and the beaches. I tried my best to do some hiking and biking on the island, but our trip was so planned out that it was a little bit difficult to slip away. I had thought this would be a mildly educational vacation, but it turned out to be a summer long class that has proven essential to my life goals. We took a ferry over to the mainland and did all of the usual tourist stuff life seeing the buildings and the statues. I was much more interested in spending my free moments in the cafes drinking espresso and listing to people speak extremely fast Italian. We went to Sicily for a few days and the went up to Tuscany. Along the way I was trying to read newspapers to help my reading skills. One day I noticed a section on apartments Umbria. I realized that in the city of Assisi the rent on apartments in umbria was exactly the same as in my home town. We had only been in Umbria for about three days and I managed to walk around looking at all the luxury Umbria villas and lower scale Umbria villas as much as possible. Since then I feel that Umbria is where I should live my life when the time comes.
