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).

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.

The EXP starts with a short and easy hiking, visiting the abandoned medieval village of Monte Antuni, which dates back to the year 1100, opened just for YOU!

We explore its restored palace, gardens, labyrinth, and if feasible the frescos in the Hermitage.

There we’ll have 360◦ spectacular view of the Turano Lake and surrounding mountains included in the Natural Reserve.

I'll describe you history and legends, as well flora and fauna, protected by tghe natiral reserve of which i'm an official Guide.

Walk back to the car, and moving to the close Castel di Tora, one of the "most beautiful Italian small villages" with its narrow streets, iconic rock of 13' century, and many spots for great lake views photos.

    On April 3 I attempted to book a hike for May 3 online. When I discovered the mistake the tour operator said he could accommodate my group on May 3 but he wanted additional money, 95 dollars per person instead of the advertised prize of approximately 60 dollars. He continued to insist that that is what the charge was. I am devastated as I lost the money for my family members as well as myself and I am still trying to find a hike

    Great time spent outside of Rome! The nature in the area is breathtaking and the guide took us to a spot with a beautiful view during our hike. Part of a hike is steep, so get good shoes and take your time going down (my knees hurt). My husband and I had a wonderful from start to finish. Paolo picked us up from the nearest train station, walked us through a great hike with some history insights about the area, and we finished the day with a lovely lunch at their beautiful home. We really appreciate their hospitality and kindness. Highly recommend it!

    Our guide was full of knowledge, and sooo welcoming. He went ABOVE and BEYOND from our first contact until we left at the end of the day. It was the best tour of our trip. We left feeling like part of the family. I am a travel agent and will be sending all my clients his way. We were blessed to have met him and had the perfect day.

    Paolo took our family on a beautiful scenic hike to the castle. He explained the history of the area and fed us a tasty Italian meal at his home! We stayed in the most cosy apartment with a gorgeous view in a mid evil village. Such an original experience for our family!
