Walks and excursions

From the farm La Fiorita we organize excursions and hikes with graded levels of difficulty and based on various topics.

Walks and short hikes

The Marroni Spring

is of historical importance featuring slabs which collect water, beneath the shade of a century-old wild pear tree which dominates the landscape. The spring can be reached by following a number of different pathways, each one bringing you into contact with the local wildlife and natural vegetation.
