Answer 2

we stayed in umbria back in march and loved it!  the whole region was beautiful and just enchanting!  we stayed just outside of spoleto.  spoleto was a town we fell in love with and loved exploring.  if you get a chance, take the tour of the fortress, its history is fascinating!  also, deruta was tons of fun!  if you love ceramics and want a beautiful gift or item for your home, go!  but go in the afternoon since a lot of the stores werent open in the morning when we were there.  also, this is a bit to the east of umbria, but the frasassi le grotte was an awesome cave tour! i wish we could have spent all day in there watching the formations!!  also, the man-made waterfall outside of terni is only open certain days each month.  so check online before you go to get a schedule.  we also visited perugia and just loved it.  a favorite restaurant of our was il camino.  it sat off the road between terni  and spoleto.  about 15 minutes west of spoleto.  just yummy and nice people!  no matter what you find to do, the whole region is beautiful and you will love it!  we cant wait to return!
