A holiday for two of Umbria’s wonders, among magical villages, and the scents of vineyards and olive groves.<\/em><\/h3>\n

The starting point is Castel Ritaldi, where the Albergo Diffuso Torre della Botonta<\/a> awaits us. From here we can easily reach the most beautiful attractions of\u00a0the region.
\nWe start\u00a0our Umbrian journey from the Marmore Falls<\/strong>, the most famous waterfall in Italy and among the highest in Europe. We are in Valnerina<\/strong>, a lush and uncontaminated valley where the Nera\u00a0river flows. Among the many ways in which this natural show\u00a0can be reached there’s\u00a0also a beautiful slow itinerary<\/a>, to go by bike from the beautiful village of Spoleto<\/strong> and following the old Spoleto-Norcia railway<\/strong>. The best way to dive in nature!<\/p>\n

The starting point and the point of arrival of the trail are two more unmovable places. Spoleto<\/strong> will leave you breathless thanks to the historical-artistic heritage, the majestic Albornoziana Fortress and the Bridge of Towers. Norcia<\/strong> in the National Park of the Sibillini Mountains, together with Castelluccio di Norcia<\/strong> and other beautiful Italian villages, have been severely affected by the last earthquake, but remain magical places, offering unique landscapes and incredible flavors.<\/p>\n

The second part of the trip is dedicated to other truly fascinating medieval villages. We walk in the historic center of Montefalco, Bevagna<\/strong> and Trevi<\/strong>, getting lost in\u00a0the narrow streets and admiring the walls, churches and romantic views of these incredible places.<\/p>\n
