Where
Itinerary Your private driver guide will pick you up at your hotel and drive you to Greccio, where you will visit the original wooden rooms used by St Francis and his followers 800 years ago. Have lunch in a panoramic restaurant overlooking the "Holy Valley", where St Francis used to wander and pray. Continue to Piediluco Lake and stroll on its quaint shores. Next stop would be Marmore Falls, the tallest in Europe. You will then drive along a scenic road dotted with medieval fortresses and old villages, before going back to your hotel in Rome Description Tugged in between Rome and Florence rural Umbria tends to be overlooked. A great pity considering the beauty of the scenery; the many places of great cultural and historical interest; and the quiet, friendly atmosphere. In this fascinating day trip you will discover the secret side of this beautiful region, called the "green heart of Italy" for its green and unspoiled countryside. Greccio Sanctuary is the place where St Francis devised the first living crib in 1223 and is located on a steep rock. Piediluco Lake is considered one of the loveliest little lakes in Italy and Marmore Falls were created by the ancient Romans. Its total height is 541 feet, making it the tallest man-made waterfall in Europe * Note: In Italy a Driver/guide gives general explanations about the places you visit. He will explain monuments and places in the car, but he is not allowed to give explanations in churches or museums. City guides work in towns and their surrounding areas and are authorised to give explanations everywhere, both inside and outside buildings |
