This is a beautiful place to host any event such as a reception or a company party. The table setup was wonderful, there was plenty of space for people to sit comfortably and walk around, and the view on the balcony was breathtaking.

Amazing place in the center of Macerata. I visited during Lotto exhibition and the palace is rich of art. The problem during this event was that in the weekend often there were a long queue and you haven't more time to visit both. Opening time is short and usually have the same hour of office.

Sferisterio di Macerata is an enchanting open-air opera house that can accommodate up to 3,000 spectators. It is known for its grandeur and impressive Italian Baroque architecture. The arena, a 200-year-old building in the neo-classical style, resembles a Roman arena and hosts a popular opera festival each summer. Its acoustics are highly reputed, making it a fantastic venue for shows.
A very beautiful, impressive place for musical performances. The open-air theater is not particularly large, but offers a great backdrop. From all seats you have a good view of the stage and relatively direct contact with the artists
Waterman — Google review
Attending a performance at the Sferisterio during the Macerata Opera Festival is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The unique open-air arena, with its impressive architecture and incredible acoustics, provides the perfect setting for world-class opera. The atmosphere is electric, and the blend of history, culture, and artistic excellence is unparalleled. The festival is beautifully organized, with a great variety of performances that cater to both opera enthusiasts and newcomers alike. The staff is welcoming, and the entire city of Macerata comes alive with the spirit of the festival. From the moment you arrive, you feel like you're part of something very special. I can't recommend this enough—whether you're an opera aficionado or just looking for a memorable cultural experience, the Sferisterio and the Macerata Opera Festival should be at the top of your list. Bravo to everyone involved!

We didn't experience an opera or concert. We visited it outside the opera season, so you can only see the interior. We expected to see more: backstage, balcony, loges, .... Still nice to visit because it's a great building. But experiencing an opera or concert must be breath taking. If you believe this review is useful, then please 'like' it.

Fantastic old historic opera house in Macerata. We saw Carmen here last night and it was a serious treat. We were in box 35 and had a lovely view of the stage, sets and production. The opera house is magnificent. It has its quirks but still offers a wonderful time. The production was high quality and immensely entertaining. The air was warm and balmy. The town is lovely. Hard to fault a thing!

Visited the building (no concert). For six euros you just get to see the inside of the arena, and a flashy edited movie which doesn't provide any in-depth info and history. In my opinion a big rip-off, this should be free like visiting a park. It's probably much nicer when there's a concert. Would've been nice to get on the roof for panoramic view.

An experience that will take your breath away! Superb location in the centro storico of Macerata with its century old, rich history. The performance of Carmen with the modern take of the old opera did not disappoint.
Anya K — Google review
Since the changes in the management the sferisterio is on the way up. Last sezon was excellent. This season promise the same. Undoubtedly one of the world best open air opera festival. Only problem is the shape of the auditorium. You just have to bay central tickets, otherwise you spoil the pleasure.

(Translated by Google) A crystal clear lake in the Sibylline Mountains - Lago di Cingoli - beautifully blended into the landscape, with an amazing color. Entirely man-made on the Musone River Dam to shelter the rich surrounding fauna and flora. The lake has an amazing color, totally turquoise. It's unbelievable. Combined with the green vegetation and mountains in the background, a beautiful image is created. If you are in the area, be sure to come see this beautiful lake. (Original) Krystalicznie czyste jezioro w górach Sybilińskich - Lago di Cingoli - przepięknie wtopione w krajobraz, o niesamowitym kolorze.

A beautiful Abbey in the area of the Marche. The Abbey dates from around the year 1000 a.d. and is in the Roman style. If you approach the Abbey from the far side of the river you enter the village by crossing the Roman Bridge and passing through a gateway in the tower which formed part of the protective wall around the Abbey. The Abbey has an access ramp inside the entrance to allow people with mobility problems to enter. Attached to the Abbey is a small but beautifully presented museum, speleo paleontologico and archeologico. The museum has a lift and disabled toilets. Dogs are not allowed.

Grotte di Frasassi - Parcheggio e Biglietteria

Tourist information center

Caverns & Caves
The Grotte di Frasassi, discovered in 1971 and opened to the public in 1974, stands as Europe's largest underground cave system. Visitors are treated to breathtaking calcareous formations such as the Infinite Hall, Obelisk, and Emerald Lake. A guided tour led by knowledgeable guides like Michele enhances the experience with fascinating insights into the caves' history and geology.
Amazing experience. My tour guide, Michele, was very knowledgeable and painted a vivid picture of the discovery of the caves. His English is great and learning about the formations was really interesting. It was a magical experience and this has been my favorite experience in Italy, maybe even my life. These caves should be one of the natural wonders in the world. Also, the surrounding town is beautiful, you can take a nice stroll alongside the river. Try the dishes with truffles in them! Also, vincisgrassi (the regional version of lasagne) is delicious. The locals are so friendly, but some of them don’t speak English so it’s a great opportunity to practice your Italian! My heart is still in the mountains there. P.S. if you try to get to the Valadier Temple (Tempio del Valadier) the google map location for it is not accurate for the start of the trailhead. You will have to go about double the distance from the caves than what it says (the location of the cave on the side of the mountain). It will be on the right side of the road and about 800 meters from the caves. It is walkable, but a rather long walk on the side of the road to get to the starting point. But, it is worth it!

Even though it was quite busy, the visit was well organised. What we did not like is when we bought the tickets, it was advertised that you could follow an audio tour using the app instead of the guided tour. We liked this option as we were with young children a d their attention span for a guided tour is limited, especially in a language they don't speak. When we got up to the entrance of the caves; they said this was not possible and we had to wait an hour (!) for the English guided tour. The guide took a tremendous amount of time to explain each crack and sediment difference so we decided to walk on and tagged along to two Italian guided groups before we were 'caught' and told to stay with the guide. Our round took 1,5 hours; I did not dare to ask how long the normal tour would have taken. The cave itself is nice, well lit and the path is fenced and very accessible even for young children. There is only one route to follow so it's not possible to get lost.

The company running them are running a slick operation and probably making a decent profit and in some cases have put profit before customers and this is why I've only given 3 stars... The buses that take you to the caves from the car park are mainly standing space with very few seats, they packed them full and it's a hot and windy road. The most annoying part however is that photos are forbidden, even with no flash. The only reason for this is so they can sell tickets to the photo tour where you're allowed to take photos. There's no pricing for the photo tour online however so I can only assume it's extortionate.

(Translated by Google) The Palazzo Ducale, headquarters of UNICAM, is partly unusable following the 2016 earthquake, it is the result of three buildings merged and stratified one above the other and built in different eras. After the courtyard you look out from the terrace which shows the view of the valley below Camerino and the Botanical Garden. We all hope that it can be renovated and opened soon. (Original) Il palazzo Ducale , sede della UNICAM, è in parte inagibile a seguito del terremoto del 2016, è il risultato di tre edifici accorpati e stratificati uno sopra l'altro e costruite in epoche diverse. Dopo il cortile ci si affaccia dal terrazzo che mostra la vista della vallata sotto Camerino e sull'Orto Botanico. Ci auguriamo tutti che possa essere ristrutturato e aperto a breve.

Paper and Watermark Museum

Handicraft museum
Museums
The Paper and Watermark Museum Fabriano is located in a former monastery and is one of the most significant museums in central Italy. It offers demonstrations of handmade paper making, showcases watermarks, and provides courses for those interested. The museum presents the authentic story of Fabriano within a captivating setting, where visitors can explore the history, tradition, culture, and resourcefulness of the city through the art of handmade paper processing.
Very interesting and special museum about the local paper industry. The visit follows the history of paper making, where the city of Fabriano played a key role, and where some of the best paper is still made today. The guide was very knowledgeable and made the tour extremely entertaining! We also did the practical experience in the "paper lab", and made our own sheet of fabriano paper! Very recommended!

Visited the museum with my wife and our dog during our stay at the Villa Gioia in Fabriano. We had to follow a group of school kids of about 13-14 years old. The tour was guided by a young man who was excellent in his presentation. The language was Italian but I think it's possible to obtain a translator for other languages. I was amazed by what I saw and heard, the explanations were clear and also entertaining at the same time. We were able to see the process of ancient paper production and also modern paper production. There was also a very interesting part on the introduction of the watermark, used on many types of quality paper and in particular paper currency. This museum is great for kids and adults and is also visitabile by less able thanks to the staff who provided a ramp for my wife to enter the museum and then transported her to the first floor in a lift. There is also a very nice shop to buy gifts.

Amazing morning at the museum. We didn't book ahead and we probably should have. School groups were touring on the same day so when the guide finished with them, he offered to take us around. His English was limited but we managed and he was so kind to take us around. He showed my 6-year-old how to make paper and let him try it out. Highly recommended activity for families. I suggest to plan better than we did and go when there is an English tour so it's even better. There's a great playground and park across the street where you can do a picnic after.

A must-see in Fabriano, being the first town in Europe to produce paper, it has a great history. The museum itself is easy to reach, set in abeautiful ancient and well kept building, with any kind of facility for disable and has a video in English to explain what you are going to see before you start.

I went here for a class field trip! It was really cool to see because they take you through their history, you can also actually make paper if you take a tour. It is old fashioned but they show you how they keep up their modern touch. The town surrounding the factory is also very nice. It is totally worth seeing and making a stop at their factory with their excellent guides!

Specialty Museums
Rocca Flea, a significant example of Italian fortified architecture dating back to the 12th century, has been expanded over time and now houses the civic museum. Visitors can access this fortress with a cost-effective multiple ticket for local tourist sites. The complex features a wide array of artworks and historically intriguing exhibits, with tours leading through various rooms and concluding at the starting point. The neglected garden also offers splendid viewpoints.
A must to visit, really! This museum is divided into 3 sections: pre-roman and roman archeology, medieval paintings and modern ceramics (i.e. locally manufactured ceramics with an ancient particular process). Also the castle has many singularities, like the notable and fortunately saved medieval image of the Trinity. It was very interesting to go through these sections and discover how many uniquenesses are saved into this little, beautiful and hidden castle...
Paolo Z — Google review
You can enter this fortress using the multiple ticket for all the local tourist sites, costing only 6 euros and good value at that. The Rocca Flea is a stunning complex of buildings, filled with an extensive range of art works and historically interesting exhibits. The tour takes you up and down a variety of stairs leading through the rooms and finishing at the starting point. The garden, although neglected, is also worth a look, as it offers some splendid viewpoints.

Small museum with various galleries mostly late mideaval religious art, inside a 13th century castle.
Ilan C — Google review
The castle was deserted on the day of our visit, and it took less than 20 minutes to wander the mix of stairs and (steep) rock steps to see the inside, which mainly exhibited religious iconography, old wooden doors, broken Roman pottery, and some large amphora dating from the 1920s. It's worth a brief visit to photograph the impressive exterior.

Was a nice visit, but due to the heat my party could not stay too long. Parking spaces are very limited. We will be back because the building and exhibits deserve it. With the one ticket you can also visit other museums and the cathedral, but it just was too hot to do that.

(Translated by Google) We wanted to have dinner while looking at the old town. A table was set and since we weren't greeted, we sat down. Yes, a while passed, the host came to the table and in a very direct, not really friendly language he told us that the table was reserved and that we should get up. A plastic table and the very special way of communication didn't convince us. We left the restaurant and went to another pizzeria. We wish the host good luck for the future, but we can't give a good review. (Original) Wir wollten uns ein Nachtessen genehmigen, als wir die Altstadt ansahen.

Terrible value for money and stingy owners. Would recommend visiting any other spa in the area (ie Borgobrufa). Issues we had during the stay: - we booked the spa all day (10am - 7pm) and we’re only allowed 1 towel. They would not exchange the towel and I had to sit in a wet, cold towel through lunch and the spa day. This caused me to get SICK! I have had a cold for 2 days now). - sauna was shut off at 5pm, which seems like they were trying to get us to leave early even though we booked the spa until 7pm - owners were not accommodating, friendly or helpful at all - pools were not warm enough (definitely not 29 degrees). This includes the big gorgeous outdoor pool and inside pool. Would maybe recommend going during the summer for max 5 hours if you want to enjoy the views. They also had super cute cats (2 that were friendly) which made my trip a 2 star and not a 1 star. Overall would actively tell people visiting Umbria to avoid and go elsewhere
Elisabeth — Google review
This is sad, they ramp up the price to 43€ because they are arrogantly saying it's the only spa in Umbria but you can get in a short time to Viterbo and pay less than half, a short time to Montepulciano and pay half the price for the same time, hell even go to Marche in a short time you get to Frasassi terme, they have around the same temperature of the water still REAL thermal water and the ticket for the same time is just 10€ lol. Get yourself a reality check and lower your head, learn humility from your fellow San Francesco. Reply to the reply: So they tell me the price is justified by the presence of the locker in a SPA, nice joke, because Montepulciano Terme doesn't have lockers included with an advanced system that only requires a bracelet with a chip inside to open them, tell us more please 😏

Nice relaxing place, indoor and outdoor bathing. I didn't try the food yet. You can pay to access the external pool where the water is fairly warm, I swam there when outside was 8 degrees. In this pool you can collect sulfuric mud deposited on stones at the edge of the pool and apply to the skin. In alternative you can pay to access also the spa, with this you can access sauna, steam room, relaxing bath, and different type of hydromassage.

Website said Sunny kids spa day that was supposed to come with several things. We drove two hours and when we first spoke to the desk, she told us it wasn't possible for us to use it. After a discussion, we were told we were limited to a certain area and our child was given specific limitations. Looked like a nice spa for adults, but the price you pay for the "Sunny kids" is not worth it and they don't provide what the site says. Make sure you call before you go.

(Translated by Google) Not much remains of the fortress, only the tower. It can be easily reached on foot without any particular problems, but in my opinion it's not worth it. Yes, the view is nice as you can see all of Rasiglia from above, but nothing more. The place has not been developed and there is no historical information to read or anything else. (Original) Non è rimasto molto della rocca, solo la torre. È facilmente raggiungibile a piedi senza particolari problemi, però secondo me non ne vale la pena. Si la vista è carina in quanto si vede tutta Rasiglia dall'alto, però nulla più. Il posto non è stato valorizzato e non ci sono informazioni storiche da leggere o altro.

(Translated by Google) Arriving up to the fortress just to say that you have arrived, you could be satisfied with arriving just below, since in any case you would only see what you see from below, i.e. three sides of the walls among weeds and a bumpy driveway, bordered by the city cemetery. Beautiful but you can also see it from the town or from the viewpoint (Original) Arrivare fino alla rocca solamente per dire di esserci arrivati,ci si potrebbe accontentare di arrivare appena sotto, tanto,in qualsiasi caso si vedrebbe solamente ciò che si vede da basso ,ossia tre lati di mura tra erbacce e un vialetto sconnesso, costeggiato dal cimitero cittadino. Bella ma si può vedere anche dal paese o dal belvedere
Roby G — Google review
(Translated by Google) In the Foligno mountain area, along the Sellanese state road 319, at over 600 meters above sea level, lies Rasiglia, a place lost in time. Its reason for being is water. From the thunderous Capovena spring, the entire town seems to spring forth, unfolding, according to the natural layout, like an amphitheater and rising as a village necessary for the fortress that, still strong in its ancient role, towers over the many houses, squeezed together in a solid proximity. Numerous documents attest to the life and reality of Rasiglia since the 12th century. They are deeds of sale, purchase, building licenses, bequests, donations, certificates of possession or taxation on land that can still be found today in the current toponymy. Its border position towards the Sellano territory and towards the diocese of Spoleto, meant that the Trinci, lords of Foligno between 1305 and 1439, built one of the defensive structures there to make their borders safe and controllable. Here is the Castrum et Roccha Rasiliae, completed by Corrado Trinci and cited by the notary Ser Benedetto Rampeschi in the Liber Officiorum of 1421. The Rocca di Rasiglia is one of the eleven built by the Trinci in the Foligno territory; it was held by armed men and a salaried castellan. Originally it occupied the entire top of the hill, with an almost rectangular shape. Traces of the surrounding walls and the ruins of a tower remain visible. A mill, a fulling mill, some houses in the village were owned by the Trinci who, exploiting the precious presence of water, had given life to those activities that for centuries then guaranteed the life of the entire community. In Rasiglia, everywhere, every path is marked by water. However, a strong reason for interest is the whole, the development of the building fabric in function of work activities and daily life, which have sedimented a heritage of knowledge, of ability, of industriousness perceptible in every corner, in every stone, in every space. It is the sign of life lived, of the difficulties faced daily, of the ingenuity put in place to overcome them, of the creative and intelligent will that has marked every moment of work and progress. (Original) Nell’area della montagna folignate, lungo la strada statale 319 sellanese, a oltre 600 metri di altitudine, si trova Rasiglia, un luogo perso nel tempo. La sua ragione d’essere è l’acqua. Dalla fragorosa sorgente di Capovena sembra scaturire tutto l’abitato che si dispiega, secondo la disposizione naturale, ad anfiteatro e sorge come borgo necessario alla rocca che, ancora forte del suo antico ruolo, sovrasta con l’alta mole le molte case, strette tra loro in una solidale vicinanza. Numerosi documenti attestano della vita e della realtà di Rasiglia fin dal XII secolo. Sono atti di vendita, di acquisto, licenze per costruire, lasciti, donazioni, certificati di possesso o di tassazione su terreni che ancora oggi sono riscontrabili nella attuale toponomastica. La sua posizione di frontiera verso il territorio sellanese e verso la diocesi di Spoleto, ha fatto sì che da parte dei Trinci, signori di Foligno tra il 1305 e il 1439, vi fosse costruita una delle strutture difensive per rendere sicuri e controllabili i propri confini. Ecco quindi il Castrum et Roccha Rasiliae, portato a termine da Corrado Trinci e citato dal notaio Ser Benedetto Rampeschi nel Liber Officiorum del 1421. La Rocca di Rasiglia è una delle undici fatte costruire dai Trinci nel territorio folignate; era tenuta da uomini armati e da un castellano salariato. In origine occupava tutta la sommità del colle, con un andamento pressoché rettangolare. Restano visibili tratti delle mura di cinta e il rudere di una torre. Un molino, una gualchiera, alcune case nel borgo erano di proprietà dei Trinci che, sfruttando la preziosa presenza dell’acqua, avevano dato vita a quelle attività che per secoli hanno poi garantito la vita di tutta la comunità. A Rasiglia, dovunque, ogni percorso è scandito dall’acqua. Forte motivo di interesse è tuttavia l’insieme, lo svolgersi del tessuto edilizio in funzione delle attività di lavoro e della vita quotidiana, che hanno sedimentato un patrimonio di conoscenze, di abilità, di laboriosità percepibile in ogni angolo, in ogni pietra, in ogni spazio. È il segno della vita vissuta, delle difficoltà quotidianamente affrontate, della ingegnosità messa in atto per superarle, della volontà creativa e intelligente che ha segnato ogni momento di lavoro e di progresso.

If you find yourself in the enchanting region of Umbria, don't miss out on the unforgettable experience of a "Wild Foods Truffle Hunt." This adventure begins with a warm welcome and an espresso at a local farm, where you'll meet the friendly family who runs it. After getting acquainted over coffee, you'll embark on an exhilarating journey into the mountains in 4WD vehicles.
The perfect way to enjoy a “truffle hunt” while living high in the Umbrian hills in a tiny village with a family that runs the lodge. Francesca and Mac are both amazing - great hosts, guides and give you an insight into their lifestyle. Not to be missed.

The truffle hunting experience is perfect. Francesca and her family are very friendly, so are the dogs and cats. We love everything about this ancient village where they produce their own olive oil, cheese, fresh pasta, prosciutto which taste so good with fresh truffles. We will definitely come back again for the good people, truffles and food.
Alison W — Google review
Our experience here was great! We accompanied them on a truffle hunt outside, but you don’t have to do any of the work because the dogs find and dig up the truffles. It is a really cool process to see regardless! Then, we picnicked eggs with the truffles we just found, wine, and homemade pecorino cheese. Afterwards, we headed back to the house where we sampled cured meats, more wine, and bruschetta. Francesca made pasta from scratch with truffle sauce, it was delicious! The pasta was followed with a meat course, coffee, and tiramisu. I would recommend a visit here for a great Umbrian experience!

One of the most amazing days we had spent on our month in Umbria. We had a driver from Spello to take us to Pettino and I'm glad we did -- it is quite the incredible ride up into the mountains. We were greeted with an espresso upon arrival at the farm, where we met the family. Loading into 4WD vehicle we followed Luca and his truffle hunting dogs up the mountainside, where they were let loose to hunt for the elusive truffles. The day was picture perfect. The views over the mountain side were breathtaking. Those industrious pups found truffles! We were then taken over the field where the sheet are herded, where Luca made us eggs with the truffles on a gas stove on his tailgate and all paired with Prosecco. Back at the farm we were treated to home cured meats, olive oil and wine, all while Francesca exhibited her pasta making skills. Lunch was in a lovely profession kitchen, consisting of the pasta and truffles (of course), followed by grilled fennel, pork and lamb. All accompanied by their wine! We finished up the meal with a tiramisu. It is a beautiful place and it will forever be in our memories.

An incredible experience, authentic and well run by knowledgeable and very friendly owners. Words will not do it justice: It gives you a real insight into the truffle industry You taste fresh truffle, retrieved before your very eyes The food and drinks offered are delicious, fresh and could be served in a five star restaurant! The group size is max 16 - plenty of new friends to be made! Well worth taking the day to really soak up the experience

Wow. What an experience. Simultaneously expert and knowledgeable in the world of luxurious truffles, whilst at the same time unbelievably humble and down to earth. This was everything we hoped it would be and more. A brilliant time truffle hunting, followed up by multiple courses of gorgeous food, all in the best company of our hosts and guides. As good an experience as we've ever had on holiday.
Ciaran R — Google review
100% recommended! We actually arranged our trip to Italy around the availability of the truffle hunt here, but later got a bit nervous that this was a bit too expensive. We went anyway and were totally blown away by the family that let us share a bit of their lives. The day starts with coffee and a chance to get to know each other. Then off in the trucks to the higher woods and fields with the dogs. The dogs (well, maybe half of them) walk with us to to the various oak trees and find truffles under the soil. When they deliver these to the handlers, they are rewarded with a biscuit. This was fascinating to watch. (The other half of the dogs just did dog things). After we collected enough, we drove to a high plain where we cooked and ate eggs with the truffles and drank a bit too much prosecco. The local sheep (and wolf hounds) joined us for a fun time in the sun. Back in the little village, we were served unlimited wine, bruchette, and sliced meats. They made pasta from scratch, and then we were served an amazing late lunch with wild boar. The conversations were real, we made good friends, and would definitely recommend this as a highlight of any trip. (We took too many pics - sorry!).

This is a must do if you are in the area. Luca, Mac, Daniel, and Francesca were all great hosts and we had fun talking with them. Do come hungry because there is a lot food to be eaten. This was the highlight of our 10 day trip in Italy and we will be back again when we come back to Umbria one day.

Eremo delle Carceri is a 13th-century hermitage and oratory located in the wooded hills near Assisi, Italy. This site holds great significance as it was a place of prayer and retreat for St. Francis, the Patron Saint of Italy. The hermitage is situated about 4 km east of Assisi, surrounded by dense woods against Monte Subasio. It remains unchanged since St.
A refuge in the hills above Assisi. Established by Francis of Assisi in the 13th century, this place has offered solace for countless people over the centuries.

A ‘thin’ place of connection with God, run by humble friars. The main centre was quite busy and museum like, with a well laid out and preserved history of this hermitage of St Francis and his brothers and those who built this monastery after. The two gems for for were: 1)the time with God hiking there. It was beautiful, and the first half was harder than I expected. I was glad I left nearly in the morning and wore good shoes. I did notice others walked along the road to get there. (You can drive as well, thus lots of people there.) 2) taking time out in the caves and spots of worship on the grounds. There was even a pilgrimage mass going on at the far end - so lovely. Not only was this a moment of historic learning, it was a time of deep connection with Jesus.

An enchanting spot in the hills. Would highly recommend walking up and taking the forest path - everyone seems to walk up the road but there is a very clearly signed path from the city wall which goes up through the forest. It is a challenging uphill climb but well worth it for the views and peaceful site. Plus the feeling of pride at the summit! The hermitage complex is stunning and well worth the walk up.

If you go to Assisi, a beautiful sanctuary to go to is Eremo Della Carceri. You can walk the 4 km up hill, with spectacular views which takes between 1-1 1/2 hrs. There is a welcome cafe at the entrance 🙂. The caves here are where St Francis and his brothers lived and prayed and the monastery was built around them. The grounds on the mountainside are so peaceful to walk and pray in. The monastery has some small passages and narrow stairways, but this adds to the atmosphere. The monks there are very welcoming. Beautiful.

Park
Nature & Parks
Fonti del Clitunno is a natural oasis with stunning emerald waters that have inspired poets and writers throughout history. It's a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle, offering refreshment from the summer heat. The area also features wooded trails circling a lake inhabited by swans and a noted restaurant. Nearby, visitors can explore the UNESCO-listed early Christian sanctuary, Tempietto del Clitunno.
Probably the most pristine and serene parks in the entire region. Must visit!

Nice little park, you can spend an hour here walking around and chilling. There's a bar and all the amenities. Prices are acceptable.
Feliciano C — Google review
the place was aesthetically pleasing, really well kept and loads of ducks and swans to keep you company. there was a nice track you could follow all around and walk in the whole park. the water sources weren't exactly pointed out but you can easily spot them. there was also a playground for kids. best place to walk your dog. only thing i didn't like was the entrance fee: it was only 3€ but why would i pay to enter a park? the water sources weren't that breathtaking or odd, there weren't any special features at all apart from a couple of crosses over the lake. so why is it necessary to buy a ticket? overall it was a nice experience. it's also wheelchair accessible but you can't go everywhere.

A shame that this small, beautiful park is privatized and locked behind paid entrance. I only once visited the private park, but found it quite limited and the paid entrance didn't really make sense (although it's only 3€). The emerald waters of the Clitunno are really a wonder. This was once a large river: in roman times boats were able to navigate it, and its source was of strategic and religious importance. Seismic movements drastically changed the river which then became the stream of today. Particular minerals make the water mesmerizingly colourful. Good news! You can enjoy the scenery without entering the paid area. There is a nice free area that is of great beauty as well. Just keep on walking on the main road on the entrance side until you see a restaurant, and enter the natural area there. By the look of it, the park and restaurant area were clearly part of the same park not too long ago, but they've been brutally split with wire fences for monetary reasons. Also consider that there is a very nice free walking path, which runs on the bank of the Clitunno stream, between the enclosed park and the countryside. You can find it after the end of the restaurant free area path: just keep walking towards the countryside, then you will find a horizontal car barrier, get around it and enjoy the walk. All pictures I posted here come from this "free" visit. The area would really shine if they merged all these things together and

Patrick V — Google review
Here is a 500-word review of the **Basilica of Santa Chiara** in Assisi, Italy: --- **Basilica of Santa Chiara – A Sacred Gem in the Heart of Assisi** Nestled on the slopes of Assisi with sweeping views over the Umbrian valley, the **Basilica of Santa Chiara** (Saint Clare) is a peaceful, radiant tribute to one of the most beloved figures in Christian history. Though often overshadowed by the grand Basilica of Saint Francis just a short walk away, Santa Chiara offers its own powerful spiritual presence and architectural beauty that moves visitors in quieter, more intimate ways. Built in the mid-13th century and dedicated to **Saint Clare of Assisi**, a close follower and spiritual companion of Saint Francis, the basilica serves as both a place of worship and a physical testament to her legacy. Clare was the founder of the Order of Poor Ladies, later known as the **Poor Clares**, and she lived a life of radical poverty, humility, and service. This same simplicity is echoed in the church’s design. The façade of the basilica is striking in its understated elegance. Composed of alternating bands of pale pink and white stone from Mount Subasio, it reflects the light in soft, ethereal tones—particularly at sunrise or sunset. A large rose window adorns the front, typical of Umbrian-Gothic architecture, and the entrance is humble, yet inviting. The bell tower, added later, completes the silhouette of the church against the sky. Upon entering the basilica, the **atmosphere shifts dramatically**. It’s quiet, dimly lit, and deeply contemplative. The simplicity of the interior draws the eye and the heart toward what matters most: prayer and reflection. Frescoes adorn the walls, including some attributed to early followers of Giotto. These delicate images tell the story of Saint Clare’s life and her profound faith, adding color and warmth without overwhelming the space. The true heart of the basilica lies beneath, in the **crypt where Saint Clare’s body rests**, displayed in a glass coffin. Pilgrims and visitors alike approach with reverence. Her incorrupt body, long preserved, serves as a reminder of the depth of her devotion. Surrounding her tomb are relics of both Saint Clare and Saint Francis, including tunics, haircloths, and personal effects that humanize these legendary figures and connect the visitor to their daily lives. Outside the basilica, the **piazza** offers a panoramic view of the Umbrian countryside, making it one of the most beautiful and tranquil spots in Assisi. Whether you're a pilgrim, a history enthusiast, or a casual traveler, sitting on the stone steps as the bells chime can be a moment of deep peace. The **Basilica of Santa Chiara** is not grand in a worldly sense, but its spiritual weight is undeniable. It embodies the Franciscan values of humility, beauty, and inner strength. In a town steeped in faith and history, this sacred space is both a monument to a powerful woman and a place where the soul can breathe. Visiting Santa Chiara is not just about seeing a church; it’s about feeling a presence—a gentle call to simplicity, compassion, and silent grace.

San Damiano is a 12th-century church and cloisters located in Assisi, surrounded by terraced olive groves. It holds great significance as the place where St. Francis received a message from God to rebuild his house.

A serene place of refuge and reflection. Enjoyed a beautiful walk through olive groves to this old convent It is a well preserved piece of catholic religious life, and documents well the ministry of Saint Clare and Saint Francis, including his Canticle of .the creatures

The experience is nice, not too touristic. The place “explains” itself with some boards throughout the tour. Nice experience for those seeking to know better the story of St Francesco. To be aware: the original cross of San Damiano, to which St Francesco / Francis prayed, is today in the Church of St. Clare in Assisi.

Oh my word. San Damiano is beautiful. It is the place, where in 1205 St Francis heard God speak through a beautiful cross. It has not changed much since that time apart from some repairs and improvements. It is a place of prayer and quiet reflection. It is definitely worth a visit to look round and pray.

Papal Basilica and Sacred Convent of Saint Francis in Assisi

Basilica
Sights & Landmarks
The Papal Basilica and Sacred Convent of Saint Francis in Assisi is an iconic Gothic church and a major Christian pilgrimage site. This UNESCO World Heritage Site consists of the Upper Basilica and the Lower Basilica, adorned with medieval art. The basilica also features smaller chapels like those dedicated to St Mary Magdalene and St Louis of Toulouse. It's recommended to use an audio guide to explore the rich history behind this impressive structure.
Breathtaking views inside - out! Sublime architecture and a sheer joy to witness it all. No tickets required. The tomb of the Saint Francis can be easily viewed, although no photos are allowed to be taken inside the burial chamber. There’s a souvenir shop within the building, plenty of restaurants around the Basilica could be spotted too. Be careful which one you are going to as they aren’t Michelin star restaurants. If Gordon Ramsey gets there; he’ll definitely close the whole road where they are located, not just one. The Car park is massive, so don’t you worry about parking.

So special to experience these beautiful churches - up and down! We got to enjoy an English mass at 9am on Sunday. Touring with Rick Steeves podcast in our ear was great (also the town walk is so good). Loved the museum in the back. The highlight of course was the crypt, to spend some time in the presence of St Francis. Well- we know his presence is with us in Christ, but so cool to see his tomb. The Giotto frescoes are amazing and the ceilings- wow, that blue- I love it.

Lovely Medieval town - Assisi - famous for St Francis' Basilica, which we visited. Also had a lovely cappuccino but didn't stay for lunch. Escalators available to get you into the higher parts of town from all the car parks so no worries for older and less mobile visitors. A must-see if in Umbria

Today's highlight. You don't want to miss this place when in Assisi. Prepare for a walk uphill and downhill. Travel light but bring some coins or bills for the offering and candles.

What an amazing experience to be able to come on a pilgrimage here. The church is very beautiful and full of meaning. There is a tomb of St. Francis of Assisi under this church. There is also a museum, and a souvenir shop. Don’t forget when you enter, there is a prayer paper that we can take and write, so that later we can bring it to the tomb area of St. Francis, and we give to the brothers here to pray. Then don’t forget after shopping at the souvenir shop, bring it to the blessing section near the exit.

Basilica di Santa Maria degli Angeli is a vast 16th-century church located about 4km beneath Assisi. It houses the Porziuncola chapel, where St Francis started the Franciscan movement. The nearby Cappella del Transito marks the site of St Francis's death. The basilica also features Michelangelo's Cloister, which displays over 400 works of art including sculptures and reliefs.
Very beautiful and inspiring. The exterior is undergoing renovations, but interior restorations had recently been completed, and the results are stunning. No photographs are allowed inside, so put away the phone and soak in the art and architecture. Catholics will want to stop into the small shrine dedicated to St. Francis (it marks where he died). Also do not miss the beautiful adoration chapel off to the left of the central altar. Reverent and serene.

What a beautiful church. Most special because of the portinocula - St Francis’ special little church. Incredible works of art- especially one of Francis receiving the stigmata. They also have confession booths with multiple languages, with very caring and open priests ready to hear and help you draw close to God. Francis’ place of death and his rose garden as well. Wonderful masses offered. A great gift shop. I wish I had bought more Tau necklaces while I was there to give to others. Also the bookstore is awesome. So many great Franciscan themes and authors.

A very nice basilica in Assisi, probably often overlooked because people flock up to the hilltop to the town and the more famous basilica and other attractions. This is on the other side of the main train station of Assisi. It’s actually walkable distance from the train station. There is a nice museum, rose garden and gift shop in side as well.

Casa Romana in Spoleto is currently showcasing the installation of Pauline and her Double, featuring two works by Vettor Pisani.

Well preserved Roman gate
Lester B — Google review
(Translated by Google) The arch stands a few steps from Piazza del Mercato, the ancient Roman forum, of which it was the triumphal entrance. The inscription still visible on the front informs that it was built on the initiative of the Spoleto senate in the year 23 AD, in honor of the princes Drusus and Germanicus, respectively son and adopted son of the emperor Tiberius. The arch has a single fornix and is composed of large squared blocks of stone, while the decorations are today very fragmentary. Starting from the Middle Ages, it was incorporated into the nearby buildings, so much so that the western pylon is still not visible today, while the eastern one has been brought to light up to the ancient laying surface, relating to the paving of the cardo maximus. (Original) L‘arco sorge a pochi passi da Piazza del Mercato, l’antico foro romano, di cui costituiva l’ingresso trionfale. L’iscrizione ancora visibile sulla fronte informa che fu eretto per iniziativa del senato spoletino nell’anno 23 d.C, in onore dei principi Druso e Germanico, rispettivamente figlio e figlio adottivo dell’imperatore Tiberio. L‘arco è ad un solo fornice ed è composto da grandi blocchi squadrati di pietra, mentre le decorazioni sono oggi molto frammentarie. A partire dal Medioevo, esso fu inglobato negli edifici vicini, tanto che il pilone occidentale è ancora oggi non visibile, mentre quello orientale è stato riportato alla luce fino all’antico piano di posa, relativo alla pavimentazione del cardo maximus.

On the one hand it is incorporated into the structure of some houses, on the other hand, the structure was freed from the subsequent structures (it was incorporated into the nearby church built on an ancient Roman temple) and highlighted up to the level of the Roman foundations. Tables on site show the history of the monument and the restorations carried out.

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful and well-kept park. Friendly and approachable staff. They have braziers that can be used for free, we had not booked it but it is better to book it to be sure of having it available, in high season they have many reservations and it is not necessarily free. The parking lot is not very close to the area where the braziers are located, so when you park it is better to bring everything with you and take it directly to the area where the dining tables and braziers are. Inside the park there are 2 kiosks selling ice cream, water, coffee and wraps. Absolutely recommended for families with children. (Original) Parco molto bello e curato. Personale gentile e alla mano.

Il parcheggio non è molto vicino alla zona dove si trovano i bracieri, quindi quando si parcheggia è meglio portarsi tutto dietro e portarlo direttamente alla zona dove ci sono i tavoli da pranzo e i bracieri. All'interno del parco ci sono 2 chioschi che vendono gelati, acqua, caffè e piadine. Assolutamente consigliato per famiglie con bambini.

(Translated by Google) The park is really nice, surrounded by nature. After the ticket office you find yourself in front of a small lake, the animals are located all around and also in the lake itself. Even if it wasn't a particularly hot day, the sun is felt so I recommend bringing a hat, there is no shortage of shaded areas anyway. There is a refreshment area with a barbecue and tables to eat. The bar only sells ice cream, water and little else, so if you plan to stop to eat, you need to bring everything. There are some nice tents and we read on Facebook that you can sleep, we didn't ask for more information because we had to go home. Remember to call because entry is by reservation. I highly recommend it. (Original) Il parco è veramente carino, immerso nella natura. Superata la biglietteria ci si trova di fronte ad un laghetto, gli animali sono situati tutto intorno e anche nel laghetto stesso. Anche se non era una giornata particolarmente calda, il sole si sente quindi consiglio di portare un cappello, le zone d'ombra comunque non mancano. C'è una zona ristoro con barbecue e tavoli per mangiare. Il bar vende solo gelati, acqua e poco più, quindi, se avete intenzione di fermarvi a mangiare, va portato tutto. Ci sono delle graziose tende e abbiamo letto su facebook che si può dormire, non abbiamo chiesto altre info perché dovevamo rincasare. Ricordatevi di chiamare perché l'ingresso va su prenotazione. Lo consiglio vivamente.

Beautiful old church with a great little bar/restaurant attached to the side. The church is incredibly beautiful with old paintings covering the walls. There is a crypt in the back that can be accessed. The little bar had great vegan gelato too!

(Translated by Google) Perfect place for a ceremony. Beautiful church. Simple and charming with mosaics along the walls. A beautiful Romanesque bell tower.

(Translated by Google) A very evocative sanctuary, with frescoed walls and a beautiful bell tower. Convenient free parking and a picnic area right in front of the sanctuary. Nearby are the ruins of what was once Forum Novum, an ancient town hall of clear Roman origin. (Original) Un Santuario molto suggestivo, con pareti affrescate e un bellissimo campanile. Comodo parcheggio gratuito e area pic-nic proprio davanti al Santuario. Nelle vicinanze ci sono le rovine di quello che fu un tempo Forum Novum, un antico municipio di chiara origine romana.

(Translated by Google) Suggestive place, with frescoes on the walls and you can access the crypt under the altar. Worth visiting. At the exit of the Sanctuary there is a small pine forest where you can sit and enjoy the serenity of the place and the singing of the cicadas. (Original) Posto suggestivo, con affreschi alle pareti e si può accedere alla cripta sotto all'altare. Da visitare. All'uscita del Santuario vi è una piccola pineta dove ci si può sedere e godere della serenità del posto e del canto delle cicale.

(Translated by Google) We stayed at this property on July 18, 2025, to celebrate my birthday and that of my son Alessandro. The property is adjacent to the monumental complex of the Church of Santa Maria della Lode, built around 380 AD. Simply charming and relaxing. The food (we chose the seafood menu) was good and plentiful. Speaking with Mrs. Tiziana, I pointed out that both the spaghetti with clams and the fried fish could be better. The table service provided by Mrs. Monica/Marina was simply perfect. I will definitely return. A hug and thanks to all the staff. Giorgio Dionisi (Original) Siamo stati in questa struttura il 18/7/25 per festeggiare il mio compleanno e quello di mio figlio Alessandro.Struttura adiacente al complesso monumentale della chiesa di santa Maria della lode edificata intorno al 380.d.c.Semplicemente affascinante e rilassante.Il cibo (abbiamo scelto menù di pesce)buono e abbondante.Parlando con la Sig.ra Tiziana,ho evidenziato che sia gli spaghetti con le vongole che per il fritto si può fare di meglio.Il servizio al tavolo prestato dalla sig.ra Monica/Marina e' stato semplicemente perfetto. Ci tornerò sicuramente.Un abbraccio e un ringraziamento a tutto il personale. Giorgio Dionisi

Castello Ruspoli

Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Castello Ruspoli in Vignanello, Italy is a must-visit monument. It's located near Viterbo and offers easy access to attractions like Vico Lake, Ferento and Sutri archaeological sites, and the Aviation Museum of Vigna di Valle at Bracciano Lake. Visitors praise the impeccable hospitality of host Donna Claudia Ruspoli and the dedicated staff. The castle provides an educational experience with knowledgeable guides who ensure that every guest feels included.
Magical place full of history that transforms every moment of your stay into an unforgettable moment. I was part of a yoga retreat where every detail was taken care of from the food made with local ingredients to the immensely friendly and always present staff. Do not hesitate to book at Castello Ruspoli and create indelible memories.

We truly enjoyed our visit to Ruspoli Castle and its beautiful gardens on tour offered by the Ruspoli Castle an their website. The tour offered a unique glimpse into the history of the Ruspoli family and the broader aristocratic system in Italy — something we found both educational and captivating. Our guide was incredibly friendly and welcoming, patiently answering all of our questions and making the experience feel personal and engaging. The gardens alone are worth a visit — meticulously maintained and peaceful — but we definitely recommend joining the full tour. It adds a rich historical context that really brings the place to life in a special way.

It was interesting, but I think the tour was a bit overpriced, as there wasn't much to see. But apparently the castle's residents need some income. I can say there are much more interesting and beautiful castles in the region. For your information, the last tour was scheduled for 4:15 PM. You can't visit the castle without a tour.

Absolutely gorgeous! When I was walking around it felt as if I had died and gone to heaven; the decadent decor and frescos really transport you to an alternate reality This place is beautiful and rich in history, a must-visit if you’re in this region of Italy!
Mackenzie W — Google review
Educational experience by our guide, who was actually leading an Italian speaking group but helpfully added some moments jn English just for us. We joined the tour at the last moment, but from even at the car park all the way to the end of the tour we never felt left out or neglected. Hospitality and a glimpse of the aristocracy all rolled into one.

To enter this castle, you should go to ‘Fontana della Rocca’. There is a parking lot. Only visitors who booked the guid tour have a permission to this castle. The history of this castle is very interesting.
