Overview

Ppss, do you want to discover a well kept secret?

Join me and I'll open you the doors of Turano Valley one of the hidden gem of our region, where you can make a jump into the past, among small villages, lush nature, green mountains for a great hike within old trees, waterfalls to admire, huge castles to discover, blue lakes where you can swim/kayak/sailing, and more.

I'll take on kayak on the lake (in summer) and hike our tracks until the peaks (not difficult -;) inside the Park, of which I'm an official Guide, telling lots of info about flora, fauna, history and legends of this unchanged Italy.

An incredible journey led by a gracious host, Paolo. One of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been. Hike the mountains, swim/kayak the lake, explore the village and enjoy breathtaking vistas. The food provided was local, and scrumptious. Paolo’s knowledge of the area is impressive, from the neighboring villages, to the plants, animals, and geography of the area. The location of our apartment was directly in Castel di Tora (gorgeous apartment) with heavenly views of the lake and mountain. Not too far from Rome, this is the perfect getaway. Bring some hiking/athletic shoes. Would do it all again! Thanks Paolo.

We had a great time with Melina and Paolo. They're very knowledgeable of the local culture, history, flora, fauna, and cuisine and explained us a lot. The hike was very nice, with glorious views. The guestroom and bathroom were quiet, clean and comfortable. For dinner Melina served yummy homemade local dishes and wine. As we're vegetarian and non-vegetarian, two different first and second courses were served, which was great.

The host was really helpful and told us the history of each of the points in detail which we thoroughly enjoyed. We stayed in a beautiful house where we had delicious meals and played some games

I spent a couple of days with a friend in Castel di Tora, a charming small town overwhelming the Turano lake. Our accomodation was a charming house that offered everything we were expecting and more, the right place to stay after a demanding activity, relaxing around a fireplace while tasting good food. And what to say about the lake view from the terrace?…it was really breathtaking! We had a two days trek, an awesome experience in a small group of hikers, with Giampaolo as our guide. He was really supportive and very patient and took care of every detail. Moreover, it was great to have a guide so knowledgeable about local history. The hikes were challenging but really awesome in terms of mountain beauty and wonderful views, so we ended with a great sense of satisfaction. Everything was perfectly organized and communication was great too. I would highly recommend them for anyone looking to hike in this incredibly beautiful part of Italy.

while we were on vacation in Rome we found this Experience, and we decided to spend two days in nature, discovering different places. We had a great time! we saw places that otherwise we would never have found on our own: a blue lake nestled between green mountains, where we did trekking - not difficult - on the mountains, saw medieval villages where life is as in the past, had a tour on the lake, explored the waterfalls and Renaissance's castles, met the locals and enjoyed delicious food (homemade pasta!), as well as sleeping in a stone house, completely renovated, with a breathtaking lake view. Thanks to Paolo and Turano Experiences for making us live two unforgettable days, we will bring the memory of this Experience forever with us!
