29 Mar 2026 | Horseback riding excursion in the Tolfa Mountains with aperitif
Much more than a walk: culture, nature and authentic flavours.
We spent a different Sunday in the company of Marco and his horses. After an initial briefing and approach with the horse that would accompany us on our ride, we took a long walk. We saw animals in total freedom without any human presence and it was fascinating, sampling plants that we found along the way. The view was wonderful, a plain with a lot of biodiversity, very beautiful and relaxing. On the way, Marco explained the history of the place to us, he explained a lot of curiosities about horses and other animals, he got us into the heart of the place thanks to his vast knowledge and culture. It was very interesting to listen to him. At the end, he treated us to a homemade aperitif made with care and local products.

Not to be missed
Fantastic experience! The horse riding was really relaxing and immersed in nature. The instructors were very competent and patient, perfect even for beginners like me. The horses are well looked after and docile, and the route offers beautiful views that make you completely disconnect from your daily routine. Definitely an activity to repeat and to recommend to anyone who wants to experience a special afternoon in contact with animals and nature!" Samuel
