The Easter vacations are always highly anticipated because, although short and far from the summer ones, give in any case a few days of carefree relaxation. There are many who decide to take a trip out of town, looking for intimate places surrounded by nature, choosing a quiet and authentic atmosphere. We of e-borghi recommend some places not to be missed.
Spending your vacations in Trentino-Alto Adige and Emilia-Romagna
In Trentino-Alto Adige, in the beautiful scenery of Fiemme Valley, there is the charming village of Valfloriana, the perfect destination for those who want to enjoy the natural beauty of this lush area. In addition to visiting the village, in particular the Palazzo del Municipio (Town Hall) rich in 15th century frescoes attributed to Dure, it is possible to organize excursions among the stables in the nearby birch grove or to the Lac del Vedes, a small lake of glacial origin surrounded by marsh vegetation. A stone’s throw away is the “Paneveggio Pale di San Martino Nature Park“, famous for its forest of red firs, whose wood is used to make high-quality musical instruments.
In this wonderful scenery of Val di Fiemme, the Chalet Resort “Baita delle Fate” is a good option to enjoy the village and the surrounding beauty. The structure offers all kinds of services and comforts, including the SPA with a panoramic view of the mountains and the cuisine blends the flavors of Trentino with those of Emilia, always relying on seasonal products of the highest quality. To seal the stay at Baita delle Fate is the contact with alpacas.
Moving to Emilia-Romagna, another alternative where to spend Easter vacations is Poggio Torriana, in the province of Rimini. The village was born from the union of Torriana, famous for the production of honey, Montebello and Poggio Berni, ancient feud of the Malatesta family. Worth visiting in Montebello is the Fortress of the Guidi di Bagno, shrouded in the mystery of the ghost of Azzurrina, who died in 1375 in mysterious circumstances and whose ghost seems to still haunt its walls.
A good accommodation facility where to stay is “Il Poggianino”, a typical 19th century residence furnished in country style and located on a hill overlooking the enchanting Valmarecchia. A true oasis of peace and tranquility where you can spend a relaxing and charming stay.
From Rivodutri to Rotonda passing through Scanno
In the center of Italy, in the province of Rieti, you can reach Rivodutri. Picturesque village situated at the foot of Terminillo, in the heart of Sabina. A stay in Rivodutri allows you to make wonderful excursions to the “Riserva Naturale dei Laghi Lungo e Ripasottile” (Natural Reserve of the Long and Ripasottile Lakes), an area rich in lake paths of rare beauty that wind through woods, reeds and sheets of water. In this characteristic village, the right choice for a stay is the “Agriturismo Tenuta Due Laghi”. It is a small corner of peace, located on a scenic hill overlooking the Rieti Plain and the nature reserve. The structure offers to the guests the possibility to taste products at Km 0 thanks to the present farm and to sleep in one of the seven double rooms available, all with panoramic view.
Scanno, in the province of L’Aquila, can also be a perfect destination for Easter vacations, located just outside the boundaries of the National Park of Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise. The village is known as “the village of photographers”, because its unmistakable views have been the protagonists of many shots of the most important photographers. In 1964 it was a photograph taken in Scanno by Mario Giacomelli to become part of the prestigious collection of photographic works of the Museum of Modern Art in New York (MoMA).
On the shores of the crystal clear lake of Scanno in the high valley of Sagittario, there is “La Presentosa“, a receptive structure that keeps the name of the traditional jewel of Abruzzo. It is precisely the total symbiosis with nature that makes it a place of enchanting tranquility.
In Basilicata, nature lovers can spend their Easter vacations in the small village of Rotonda by staying at “Il Borgo Ospitale Albergo Diffuso”: an Albergo Diffuso able to offer its guests some pretty interesting opportunities. From here it is possible to organize walks in the Pollino National Park, in particular to the Faggeta Vetusta at Cozzo Ferriero, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
