Tour - Destinazione Subasio

Welcome! Arrival in Umbria scheduled after lunch, accommodation in a 3* agriturismo / hotel, and in the afternoon we suggest a free visit to Foligno, one of the most evocative and welcoming places in our region, which unfortunately is often ignored when organising a trip to our region. Free dinner and overnight stay.

Good morning! Today, following breakfast at the agritourism, we recommend a free visit to our wonderful Assisi: a key city on the Franciscan route, it is known for its many historic buildings and alleyways and evocative places of worship.

In the afternoon, we have thought up a special activity for you, which will immerse you even further in Umbrian traditions: you will attend a cooking class for the preparation of torta al testo, one of the most characteristic gastronomic specialities of our territory. This will obviously be followed by a tasting session.

Return to the agriturismo, free dinner and overnight stay.

Breakfast at the agriturismo / 3* hotel and this morning we suggest a free visit of Spello . The Porta Consolare marks the entrance to the town of Spello, described by Julius Caesar as the "Splendidissima Colonia Julia." This enchanting village of Roman origin is counted among the most beautiful in Italy, thanks to its rich environmental, cultural and artistic heritage . The gate, dating back to the 1st century B.C., is flanked by three Roman funerary statues and represents one of the most significant testimonies to the town's glorious past. Spello still retains many traces of its Roman past, with ancient walls embracing the town and historical monuments such as the Propertius Towers, imposing structures protecting Porta Venere, another access point to the town. named after the Roman goddess of beauty and love. This monumental gate is one of the best preserved in Italy and offers a fascinating insight into Roman military engineering. One of Spello's treasures is the Church of Santa Maria Maggiore, which can be reached through charming alleys and ancient streets adorned with flowering balconies, which have become true symbols of the town. Inside the church is the Baglioni Chapel, decorated with a Deruta majolica floor and frescoes by the famous artist Bernardino di Betto, better known as Pinturicchio. The frescoes, painted between 1500 and 1501, depict biblical scenes and figures of saints with an incredible richness of detail and colour.In the late morning, we will enjoy a truly exciting activity: an authentic truffle hunt guided by an expert truffle hunter and his trusty dog. We will learn all about this treasure of the earth, its cultivation, its value, the different types of truffles that exist, the rules for hunting, the necessary tools, and lots of other important information. At the end, you will enjoy a rich tasting-lunch in the forest with drinks included. Afternoon free for individual visits, return to farm/hotel, free dinner and overnight stay.

Good morning! Today, the last day of our adventure, we thought we'd offer you a free visit to Perugia: the Umbrian capital, with its immeasurable artistic, architectural and cultural heritage, is certainly one of the most evocative locations in our area.

Departure and return home. Until next time!
