The need to breathe again was also embodied in the need to buy experiences and therefore the idea of buying or renting a second home in Umbria is increasingly linked to the possibility that the home can offer opportunities for experimentation with sensory activities, such as listening tosounds or smelling the scents of nature while walking in the woods, picking mushrooms or berries, reading on the patio of a suspended house, trekking, Nordic walking, bird watching, mountain biking, cultivating an organic or synergistic vegetable garden.
