Local Traditions in Rural Italy

We are a group of women and men living in Umbria and Le Marche. Each of us is fond of our own region, treating them with the curiousity and respect that their cultural heritage deserves. We are happy to offer you the results of our knowledge and act as your guides in finding your own personal Italy, in the region you have chosen to visit.

We are all looking forward to meeting you!

Umbria

The most distinguishing feature of the region, these fortified medieval hill towns are rich in art, history and architecture, and many are quite untouched by tourism. Space, time, silence, very rare, rich values which Umbria can offer to your special days here.

There are plenty of artisans workshops: pottery drawn by hand, tombolo laces reproducing images of animals or flowers.

You can choose either to stay in a very comfortable and peaceful villa, just outside the historical centre of Corciano, a typical medieval town, 10 km from Perugia, or in a farm close to Stroncone and to Greccio, where Francis of Assisi introduced a living crib scene on the Christmas night of 1223, the first crib in the world.

Le Marche

Compared to its central Italian sisters, here culture comes in more easily digestible proportions, but quality is often of the very best. You will find places where time really has stood still.

You can visit artisan centres of hats and of shoes, located on the Fermo hills, and enjoy the harmonic combination between rural and artisan cultures.

You will be staying in a farm situated on a peaceful hill, five minutes away from the historic centre of Fermo (320 m. above sea level), a city with pre-Roman origins and a rich historical, artistic and cultural heritage. It is just 10 minutes from the beach, and 30 minutes away from the Sibillini Mountains National Park. There are a few farms in the same area, with ot without swimming pool, and you can choose the more suitable for your accommodation.
