A 3-day tour away from the chaos of everyday life and immersed in the nature of the Alvito's countryside and with a visit to the enchanting Caves of Pastena
Ciociaria: Wellness and Nature tour Hightlights:
This morning you will reach Vallecorsa, a small village at the foot of the Ausoni Mountains, which with its terraced olive groves offers a rural landscape of historical interest among the most evocative in the region. The Vallecorsa macéres (terraces built on drywalls) represent an authentic monument to human labour solemnly recognized in 2011 and listed among the 123 sites of the National Catalog of Historic Rural Landscapes by FAI and UNESCO. Vallecorsa also gained another award due to a sad chapter in our history dating back to World War II. The town suffered the siege by the Nazis, the bombing of the Americans and the violence on the population by French colonial troops. So in 2003, then-President Ciampi awarded her the Gold Medal of Civil Merit. During the war, the writer Moravia and his wife took refuge near the ruins of Acquaviva, near Vallecorsa. It is thanks to that testimony that he wrote his famous novel “La Ciociara”. In 1960, director Vittorio De Sica shot the main scene of the film La Ciociara in front of the Church of St. Mary of Graces.
In the afternoon, transfer to Alvito where you will have free time to relax at the Spa and enjoy your fine dining at the hotel.
This morning you will reach Pastena to enjoy an enchanting visit to its caves. The Caves of Pastena are listed among the major speleological complexes of our peninsula. The area in which they are located is one of the most picturesque in Ciociaria, where the inclemency of geological events has determined the formation of a typical landscape, comparable to the Friulian Karst, bizarre forms of erosion and plains linked to ancient karst lakes. The tourist route, which is divided between a lower active branch, where an underground river flows, and an upper fossil branch, rich in football concretions, shows environments of particular interest, unique for their majesty and mystery. The wonderful caves of Pastena must certainly be counted among the most significant natural resources of the province of Frosinone, for the majesty and mystery of the scenarios, and for the extension of the branches.
Immersed in the green of Alvito’s countryside, you will be away from everyday life and its stress, in a timeless place where tensions are relaxed, the body becomes light, the spirit is freed by exploring new paths that lead to regeneration.
Afternoon dedicated to relaxation and treatments and dinner at the hotel.
