Full description
Discover the charm of Assisi with a carriage ride through the narrow streets of the town and the surrounding countryside and enjoy a delicious lunch of typical products and a tasting of 4 wines at a wine cellar.
Accompanied by the rhythm of the horses' hooves, you will enjoy an evocative itinerary, getting out of the carriage to visit some iconic places such as the Franciscan Sanctuary of Rivotorto and the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli.
All this in the shadow of Mount Subasio, which dominates the Umbrian valley with its slopes covered in thick forests and rich in biodiversity.
What we will do
We will meet at Rivotorto, a hamlet of Assisi (PG). We will be welcomed by guides and horses already harnessed and ready to take us for a ride. We will climb into the carriage and move in the direction of the Franciscan Sanctuary.
Here we will stop to visit the Tugurio, a small ancient stone settlement where the saint of Assisi founded the Franciscan order. We will then reach the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli, and inside we will visit the Porziuncola chapel, an obligatory stop for all pilgrims.
On the way back we will admire the countryside around Assisi and Rivotorto, be immersed in a dimension of absolute tranquillity and breathe in an atmosphere that seems suspended in time and history.
The carriage ride lasts about 1 hour.
