The Orfento Valley hike (Valle dell’Orfento) and Ponte Del Vallone are great starting points for exploring the Majella National Park and admiring the wildlife of Abruzzo. You won’t see the whole park — it covers nearly 100 square miles of mountains and canyons — but you’ll see two of its absolutely beautiful corners
Eremo San Giovanni all’Orfento hike is one of the longer trails in Maiella National Park in Abruzzo (Parco Nazionale della Majella). While not particularly challenging (apart from a few sections) it can take 6-7 hours, so to do it without rushing, you’ll need a whole day.
Marmore Falls, or Cascata delle Marmore, are an absolute must-see in Umbria. One of the most famous waterfalls in Italy, it is located in Valnerina, just 2 km from Papigno and near Terni, in the Marmore Falls National Park. There we spent our last day in Umbria.
What to do in Umbria became less obvious after I had a nasty accident the night before and my knee was hurting. We had to change our plans.
Instead of hiking, we decided to visit Narnia, the town that inspired C.S. Lewis to write ‘The Chronicles of Narnia’
Four days in Umbria are definitely not enough to see this beautiful region, but it’s still better than nothing. I think Umbria is becoming one of my favorite regions in Italy because I really enjoy so many of the things it has to offer. It’s green, which is key for me.
Visiting Rasiglia can be a short, pleasant stop on the way to Tuscany. Tuscany is great for a weekend, but Umbria is also a beautiful region. That’s why, along the way, we stopped for a few hours in the town of Rasiglia in Umbria. This small village, with just 60 houses and 40 inhabitants, is nicknamed Little Venice, which I
Water festival A Chiena is a party that transforms a rather sleepy small town in Campania into a vibrant and lively one. Campagna – that’s what we’re talking about here, or rather its old town, reminds me a lot of the Sanita district in Naples: peeling paint from the pretty buildings, narrow cobblestone streets,
Lazio is an incredibly popular region of Italy. The capital is, of course, the main attraction, attracting millions of tourists from around the world, but it’s not worth focusing solely on this city. What to see near Rome? There’s quite a bit to see: stunning landscapes, sea, food, history, culture – everything the average tourist can expect on holidays. Lazio
Benevento has a reputation for being very elegant and a very different city from the others in Campania.
I’m not really sure what does it means ‘ an elegant town’, therefore I’m not sure whether Benevento is elegant, but in my opinion is very Campanian. Actually it’s very Neapolitan, I felt as if I was in Naples’ suburbs, especially
For the next day we planned 2 rather easy hikies in Campania. So we started Easter Sunday with breakfast and a trip to Grotte del Bussento in Morigerati.
The 600-hectare park supervised by the WWF (Oasi WWF) with a grotto and an old mill in the main role, spread around the canyon of the Busetto River, is a great
