Overview

Hi guys, welcome to the REAL Italy!

Join me and I’ll bring you to discover a magic place, the Turano Valley!

A full day surrounded by Nature (hiking, lake, mountains, falls), History and Culture (old village, Castle, Hermitage) and homemade Organic Food (km 0).

Small group, max 8 pax.

We'll visit a ghost medieval village with Palace Maze and Garden, have a GREAT lunch in a local place around the Turano Lake, one of the region’s best-kept secrets, with blue clear waters surrounded by green mountains, and visit Castel di Tora, in the Top 100's Italian small villages.
