Bevagna, Mercato delle Gaite 19th - 18th June 2009

Bevagna is quite simply a tiny, beautiful medieval village in the heart of the Vale of Umbria. Not far from Assisi, Foligno and Montefalco, Bevagna has retained its central piazza almost as it was in the 1100s and has a timeless atmosphere.

Every year the clock turns back to medieval times and the cobbled streets are filled with stalls selling and making ancient traditional goods, pottery, toys etc. The locals dress up in medieval costumes and the taverns sell food based on fare of many centuries ago.

It is a real treat to visit and immerse yourself in this culture and enjoy the enthusiasm of the locals taking part.

An easy day trip away from Villa Bastiola, the apartment offers a great base for your holiday in Umbria.

Rates are from £350 during June - please email us for details at info@villabastiola.com .
