GREEN HEART is a Tour Operator offering a range of services related to the world of tourism, operating both nationally and internationally. We are based in Umbria, the green heart of Italy, and our main objective is to develop an In-coming network in the Umbria region. We have a deep-rooted corporate philosophy of offering quality and reliable service, both to visitors and to travel agencies and tour operators who rely on us. Our aim is to create lasting and profitable partnerships by constantly demonstrating seriousness, determination and competence. This is well known by our customers, who have long trusted us and with whom we work side by side on a daily basis, and by our partners and collaborators, with whom we have built a constantly growing network of contacts over time.

It is with a sense of privilege and enthusiasm that we are proud to promote the all-round experiential and sustainable tourism to which our territory fully lends itself, with individual services, daily experiences, weekends, weekly or long-term stays, and tours with the involvement and synergy of local partners (accommodation, restaurants, transport companies, navigation, guide associations, museums, parks, farms, freelancers, prolo- loco, apts, artisans, local entrepreneurs, etc.). Only those who live in a place and love the area as we do can be ambassadors to transmit emotions and experiences with professionalism in tourist reception, paying attention to nature, culture, values, history, religion, food and wine, and with the concern to make the holiday authentic, unique and unrepeatable for each visitor.

The historical centre of Castiglione del Lago has several elements that make it unique in the architectural landscape of Umbria. On the orders of Frederick II, Friar Elia da Cortona, between 1247 and 1250, transformed the small fishing village, surrounded by walls and with a tower at the top of the promontory, into a veritable castle town that closed towards the lake with an impregnable fortress. The hillock where the village stood was flattened and levelled, and mighty outer walls were erected from the base of the hillock, so that the level of the town centre is more than 20 metres higher than that of the wall base. Three gates opened here, with three streets and three squares. The donjon was also built of only 3 sides, to emphasise the number 3 indicative of the Holy Trinity.
