We always leave some room for spontaneity, building a certain amount of flexibility into the itinerary, and on occasion it may be necessary, or desirable, to make alterations to ensure we can offer you the best of what is available in season. It is important to note that some activities are dependent on the weather and may vary due to the time of year and/or forces beyond our control.

Activity Level This trip is appropriate for people who enjoy a good stroll, and feel comfortable while on the move. Daily walking times vary from 1 to 4 hours, from urban strolls to uphill walks. Cooking classes will require standing on your feet for up to 3 hours. Accommodation Nestled in the heart of Ascoli Piceno’s Centro Storico (Historic Center) our selected accommodation is a stunning property that is locally-owned and operated. Once having its life as a noble palace and convent, the two were combined to create a perfectly curated luxury boutique 4-star stay that is a unique expression of our territory. Tucked away down a cobble-stone paved alley its position offers tranquility, yet it is conveniently located just steps away from the city center and one of Italy’s most beautiful squares: Piazza del Popolo (The People’s Square). It is the perfect location to immerse yourself in the rhythm of our city, allowing you to easily enjoy an evening passeggiata (stroll), and ease into what the Italians call “La Dolce Vita”.
