Cascia
A pocket-sized mountain village in the remote southeastern corner of Umbria, Cascia holds an unusual concentration of churches for its size and a handful of cafés and restaurants, with scenic surrounds in the Valnerina highlands. It sits roughly midway between Norcia and Rieti, making it a workable base for exploring this quiet Apennine corner of Perugia province.
