Surrounded by the lush greenery of the countryside, in the heart of Umbria, Le Rondini di Francesco di Assisi is a true “gem” nestled among gentle hills, offering a breathtaking view of Assisi, Mount Subasio, and the surrounding villages. It is a haven of relaxation and well-being, ideal for families and anyone looking to “escape” the hustle of city life. The evocative name of this small agritourism stems from a miraculous event nearby, involving the remarkable obedience of a flock of swallows to Saint Francis of Assisi.
The offer is perfect for hiking enthusiasts eager to explore the environment with a sense of adventure, sharing experiences with family, and gaining deeper insights into the natural surroundings.
Weekend Highlights
Over this long weekend, we’ll guide you on a journey to discover the region, blending nature, relaxation, and the essence of Umbria’s local products!
EXPLORING THE TREASURES OF ALTOLINA
Difficulty: E; Elevation gain: 300 m; Distance: 4 km.
The journey begins in the small village of Pale, nestled in the Foligno area. The trail leads to the Benedictine Hermitage of Santa Maria Giacobbe, reached via a steep but manageable staircase featuring a Stations of the Cross. Built around the 1200s to honor Maria Jacobi, the hermitage is a breathtaking destination, with remarkable frescoes inside. After descending the staircase, the route loops back through Pale via the “Nature Trail,” showcasing stunning waterfalls created by the Menotre River, a Roman aqueduct, and remnants of an ancient paper mill. For a complete experience, you can also visit the Abbadessa Caves (by reservation).
Cap off your day with a short drive to Rasiglia, the “Village of Streams,” where charming homes are surrounded by water.
MURDER MYSTERY DINNER
Dive into a thrilling murder mystery game during dinner at Castello di Pupaggi, a venue steeped in history and legends like that of the Bella Pupa. The evening unfolds with police reports and clues on your table, with the pace of the meal syncing with the investigation. A commissioner leads the game, answering questions and providing hints—but not all clues will come easily!
Si consiglia di completare la giornata con una passeggiata a Rasiglia, un piccolo agglomerato di case immerse nell’acqua, ad appena 10 minuti in macchina da Pale, chiamata per l’appunto il Borgo dei Ruscelli.
CENA CON DELITTO. La cena con delitto (murder party in inglese) nella sua forma ludica è un gioco di argomento giallo, stile investigativo. Lo scopo della serata è individuare il colpevole di un efferato omicidio, avvenuto proprio nei locali del Castello di Pupaggi! Questo rappresenta una scenografia perfetta per allestire un delitto attraverso le storie e leggende che lo avvolgono. Tra amori e antiche contese nacque infatti la leggenda della Bella Pupa, giovane fanciulla del castello, che racconteremo durante la cena.
Di cosa si tratta? Troverete sui vostri tavoli le prime relazioni della polizia, i primi indizi e le istruzioni per proseguire nel gioco, il ritmo delle portate scandisce anche il ritmo dell’indagine. Il commissario a capo dell’indagine gestirà le fasi del gioco e vi accompagnerà rispondendo ai vostri dubbi, alle vostre domande e fornendovi indicazioni ed indizi. Ma… attenzione: non tutti gli indizi vi verranno comodamente serviti a tavola… alcuni dovrete cercarli!
BETWEEN THE VILLAGES OF SPELLO AND COLLEPINO
Difficulty: E; Elevation gain: 200 m; Distance: 5 km.
This trail follows the ancient Roman aqueduct, connecting Spello and Collepino on the slopes of Monte Subasio. Enjoy the vibrant olive groves, fragrant wild flora, and fresh Umbrian air as you explore the aqueduct’s historical architecture, built with local stone and dating back to Roman times. Visit Spello and Collepino, two villages rich in historical and artistic heritage.
End the hike with an olive oil tasting, sampling Spello’s finest produce at a local farm.
