Gubbio is one of the most ancient cities of Umbria, extremely well-preserved over the centuries, and rich with monuments that testify to its past. The roman theatre, located just outside the walls, is one of the most important and ancient monuments. As soon as you enter the city you cannot help but notice the Basilica di Sant'Ubaldo at the top of the hill, overlooking the whole city. The heart of the city dates back to the 14th century, and the principal buildings, squares and fountains, like the Fontana del Capitano, over time have become very symbols of the city. Among annual events, the evocation of history that happens with the Palio della Balestra is one of the most recognised, nationally and internationally, because of its striking throwback to another time that can be experienced in every street of the city.

Gubbio is about 92 Km away from Villa Zuccari, an easy and comfortable drive that will take around an hour and 20 minutes by car. Going north, follow signs for Trevi (SP447) and after about 4km take the SS3 Flaminia heading north towards Perugia. Once on the SS3 take the exit marked Perugia / Foligno Nord (SS75) after about 11km. After a further 20 Km take the exit marked Ravenna / Ancona (SS3bis), then take the exit for Gubbio driving along SS298 / SS219 for about 35 Km until you reach Gubbio.
