The Piedmont Region: Excursions, Truffle and Wine In the heart of Piedmont, among the finest roots of its shining land, a rare species of white truffle grows. Considered of the best and finest quality and priced as high as a thousand euros per kilo, the white truffle is much more expensive than the renowned black truffle. It is difficult to describe the taste of white truffles, the exciting search for them and the easy preparation that makes them very mysterious. It has been years since it was acclaimed in the gourmet cuisine as a fantastic treasure. In order to harvest these precious tubers, people rely on the smell of specially trained dogs. In Italy people also use pigs: these smart animals with a good smell find truffles very quickly, although their appetite prevents truffles to end up in human stomachs.

Everything you need to know! Cycle tours are the perfect combination of experience, healthy activity and enjoyment, views and movement in nature. Anyone who enjoys cycling can take part, no special training is required. Most tours are on good surfaces or low traffic side roads, mostly on well-cared for cycle tracks. Only occasionally do we take heavier traffic roads for short distances. If you need a hire bike, they are always available for the scheduled day trips.

Breakdowns If you have a breakdown during the trip that you can’t fix with your repair kit, your tour guide will find the closest repair shop. If you need assistance, you can reach us at: 0039 0464 571111 or at the direct number of your contact person.

Walking tours Walking - hardly any other activity brings you closer to a country and its people. Our walking tours are mostly on well-cared for tracks, often the same ones used by local people. They are far from roads - no traffic will disturb your enjoyment of the landscape with its flora and fauna. The walks themselves last from 3 to 6 hours. For each trip you are provided with detailed route instructions, and all walks are rated for difficulty, from easy to challenging.

Altitude differences The altitude difference is indicated for each day’s walk.This is the difference between the lowest and highest points of the walk; altitude differences of less than 50 m are indicated as “very little altitude difference”.

Equipment We recommend robust, high walking boots which reach above the ankles and practical, comfortable clothing. Layered clothing is best, so that you can always take layers off and put them back on again. Please make sure you have protection against the rain and sunshine. We recommend special cycling clothing, like cycling shorts and gloves, but they’re not essential. Cyclists are not required to wear helmets in Italy, but we recommend using one for your own safety. Please remember that our trips often take in convents and churches which may be cool and require appropriate clothing: shoulders must be covered and very short shorts are not acceptable. We recommend eating a healthy breakfast and drinking lots of water during the tour. A small backpack is an ideal accessory.

Our itinerary starts from this charming place, in the heart of Regional Conero Park, where the Adriatic coast rises abruptly and offers breathtaking views of clear blue sea contrasting with the deep green of vegetation, including hidden coves and fantastic cliffs in shape. Crossing characteristic villages with ancient origins, set like jewels in a emerald, coloured forest, we continue southwards to meet wonderful sandy beaches and splendid beach resorts in the Riviera delle Palme.

From Conero Riviera to Riviera delle Palme Proposed program: First Day: PORTONOVO / LORETO / RECANATI If, in addition to sun and sea, you want to visit historical places and immerse yourselves in nature, Marche Region is certainly one of the best places to be found in Italy. You can arm yourself with a camera and prepare to discover a peculiar unforgettable environment, characterized by hills covered with vineyards, Mediterranean scrub, fields of corn and sunflowers but also craggy headlands, the famous white stone of the Conero and the many beaches awarded by the prestigious Blue Flag. The excursion in the Conero Park with a little time available, offers the chance for interesting nature trips: you can start from Portonovo, a twenty minute drive from Ancona. It is a pleasant seaside resort where there is a Napoleonic fort, a watchtower and an romanesque church, Santa Maria of Portonovo, unique in its genre. Everything is naturally surrounded by a pebbly beach and an unspoild sea rich in wild, green “mussels”. Continuing along the main road called “the mountain road”, which runs along all the coast of Conero revealing the most picturesque views few kilometers, we meet Sirolo, a medieval town overlooking the sea and surrounded by unspoiled nature. It is exposed to the Adriatic breezes’, and offers spectacular views and beautiful beaches. Lunch on the panoramic terrace of Sirolo. In the afternoon visit of Numana: this popular seaside resort, is an ancient port dating back to Piceni, located at kilometre 21 of the “road of the mountain”. It is composed of two small towns: Numana downtown where you can relax on a fine sand long beach (which reaches Marcelli, another famous beach frequented by a young tourism) while Numana high town, perched on the ridge of the mountain, is famous for its steep streets, including the popular alley called Costarella, animated during the summer by several art exhibitions. Afterwards visit of Loreto and the

famous Marian shrine. Then departure for Recanati the birthplace of Giacomo Leopardi and charming medieval village. Dinner and overnight at the Agriturismo “Il Raggio Verde” in Recanati. Second Day: PORTO RECANATI / PORTO SAN GIORGIO Driving along the highway 16 southwards you will find numerous resorts that all deserve a stop. First of all Porto Recanati, with its promenade and the sandy beach: the old town is worth a visit for a look impressive Svevo Castle. We then continue our tour in direction of Porto Sant’Elpidio and after crossing Lido di Fermo we then arrive in Porto San Giorgio, a seaside resort and one of the most important fishing center of the Adriatic Sea, built on the ancient core of a medieval fishing village around a massive fortress founded to defend the coast from the pirates. The rock is great testimony of that glorious past, and represents a major tourist attraction. The town, rich in beautiful old buildings and churches, is crossed by the Corso Garibaldi, along which you find the oldest part of town. But the Marina area is also quite interesting, where under the shade of pines and palms, we found delightful cottages in Liberty style. The Marina is the largest of the Adriatic sea and can accommodate nearly 900 boats. In Porto San Giorgio, there’s of course a nice seafront promenade: the beaches are fine sandy, partly furnished and partly free. Water is low up to 300 meters from the shore, so it is ideal for children who can wade safely, and very clean thanks to the absence of polluting production plants along the coast. In the evening We leave Porto San Giorgio and the Adriatic main road and we can not help but note, perched on a steep hill, the tiny medieval village of Torre di Palme, overlooking the sea. In perfect condition, it is one of the most beautiful villages in the region, and is located on top of a hill, inaccessible on three sides. Torre di
