Welcome to Gelsi
A peaceful retreat nestled in the heart of Umbria, where the region’s authentic charm meets a warm, family-style welcome.
At Ai Gelsi in Santa Cristina, we have four fully equipped apartments, either on one or two levels, each with a private garden, perfect for every need.
The strategic location of our farmhouse in Gubbio makes it easy to explore Umbria’s most beautiful spots, from its magnificent villages to experiences that allow you to reconnect with nature.
What to do during your vacation
gubbio and cuisine
Set aside at least one day of your stay to visit Gubbio, where you can admire squares, palaces, churches, monuments and unique views; the most famous of which are Palazzo dei Consoli, with its magnificent suspended square, the Palazzo Ducale, home to Federico di Montefeltro, the Basilica of Sant’Ubaldo, which can also be reached by cable car offering a unique view of Gubbio, the Bargello fountain, and narrow streets and corners where time seems to have stood still.
In the evening, you can unwind with our in-house chef, Alessio Pierini, for a fully bespoke dining experience (ask us for more details!) Alternatively, you can continue exploring the city by dining at one of our partner restaurants in the historic centre, or return to I Gelsi to enjoy the pool, relaxation, yoga and massages.
What to do during your vacation
Assisi and Spello
Discover two of Umbria’s hidden gems: Assisi, the city of St Francis, and Spello, a village renowned for its flower-filled alleyways and enchanting atmosphere. In Assisi, you can visit the famous Basilica of St Francis, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with its frescoes by Giotto, and stroll through the streets of the historic centre, steeped in history and spirituality. The charm of Assisi will captivate you with its squares, churches and breathtaking views over the Umbrian valley.
Correzioni integrate
Head to Spello, one of Italy’s most beautiful villages, where colourful flowers adorn every corner. Stroll through the narrow streets and marvel at Pinturicchio’s frescoes in the Church of Santa Maria Maggiore. Spello is the perfect place for an authentic experience, combining art, history and traditional flavours.
What to do during your vacation
discover nature
You can spend your days surrounded by nature, recharging your batteries and enjoying unique experiences. Outdoor enthusiasts can go horse-riding through the Umbrian hills, as well as taking part in organised hikes in Monte Cucco Park, a paradise for lovers of trekking and outdoor activities.
Monte Cucco offers breathtaking views, trails to suit all levels of experience, and the chance to explore enchanting caves and natural springs. An experience in the heart of nature that will leave you with unforgettable memories.

The Gelsi di Santa Cristina swimming pool is ready to welcome you.
Nestled in the tranquillity of the Umbrian countryside and reserved exclusively for guests of the property, it is the perfect place to recharge your batteries between a hike and a dinner under the stars.
