ONE OF ITALY'S LARGEST PILGRIMAGE SITES . The Sant

ONE OF ITALY'S LARGEST PILGRIMAGE SITES
.
The Santa Casa di Loreto has been a pilgrimage destination since the 14th century
.
It has been visited by over 200 saints and many popes.
.
Welcoming travellers for hundreds of years, it's one of the few places in Le Marche where you'll find typical souvenir shops
.
Pilgrims flock here to visit what legends say is the house that the Holy family lived in
.
Many take the 26 km pilgrimage route from Macerata to Loreto that has been in existence since 1978
.
It's quite a moving sight...
.
Thousands walking through the Italian countryside illuminating the passage with candlelight as the sun goes down
.
Whether you're a pilgrim or a lover of architecture & art, Loreto is a must see site on your trip to Le Marche
.
It's prized marble panels, designed by Bramante, on the Santa Casa's walls, are considered one for the greatest sculptural masterpieces from the Renaissance
.
You can also visit it's museum which houses some lovely works by Lorenzo Lotto
.
Loreto also makes for an easy day trip from Ancona or the Coast of Conero

PEOPLE WATCHING IN THE PIAZZA . As things have slo

PEOPLE WATCHING IN THE PIAZZA
.
As things have slowly reopened, so has life slowly returned to the piazza
.
Stepping inside Piazza del Popolo on a picture perfect June day is like stepping right onto a movie set
.
You’ll walk right into a slice of everyday genuine Italian life and get to be Italian for a week when you join us on tour
.
Even after all these years I still find myself enchanted by the magical atmosphere of Ascoli's most beautiful square
.
So enchanted that Giovanni and I took our wedding vows inside the Palace of the Captains
.
Piazza del Popolo it's a place full of life's biggest moments & memories
.
It's also the place I had my very first caffe corretto (and where I'll take you on tour to have your first as well 😉)
.
A coffee laced with one of Ascoli's most iconic liqueurs, Anisetta meletti
.
Have you tried @caffemeletti's anisetta?
.
PS. It also comes in candy form and little dark chocolates filled with anisetta meletti. Usually served when you sit down for a cappuccino at the cafe.
.
They also make easy & light souvenirs to bring back home .

SUNDAY IN UMBRIA . Just an hours drive from Ascoli

SUNDAY IN UMBRIA
.
Just an hours drive from Ascoli Piceno (your homebase on your tour with us) you'll find yourself in the fairytale land of Umbria's Castelluccio
.
Located at 1452 metres it's the highest settlement in all of Italy’s Appennine Mountain range
.
Founded by a Jewish community that was exiled from Rome during the reign of Vespasiano, it also happens to be home to an unique microclimate where lentils grow
.
Every year from late May to the middle of July you can experience the "Fioritura" - Flowering of the lentils
.
Not an exact science but one of the mysteries of nature....
.
There's no guarantee or precise date of when the flowering will be at it's prime
.
But a visit is well worth it anytime of year and is a great way to extend your trip to Italy after your tour with us
.
Lentils, as well as pecorino cheese, wild boar and cicerchia (another local legume) are popular in the local cuisine
.
The lentils of Castelluccio are protected and only grown in Le Marche's province of Macerata and Umbria's province of Perugia
.
Castelluccio and the Appennines mountain villages in Le Marche & Umbria were hit hard during the seismic events that occurred in 2016
.
One of the ways you can support this local community from abroad is by purchasing "Lenticchia di Castelluccio di Norcia"
.
Easy to make and no soaking required they're a great addition to your vegetarian recipe repertoire and they also happen to be naturally gluten free

.
Today marks the reopening of Italy's borders to EU members, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Switzerland, UK, Andorra, Monaco, San Marino, and the Vatican City

Quarantine is no longer required for these countries when entering Italy 🇮🇹

.
Unfortunately quarantine is still required for our American, Canadian, Australian and friends from all other nations outside the one mentioned above
.
Currently the EU-USA flight ban is set to expire June 15th .

BEACH SEASON STARTS NOW . Sunshine and endless whi

BEACH SEASON STARTS NOW
.
Sunshine and endless white sandy beaches...
.
There's nothing quite like an Italian summer on Le Marche's Coast of Conero
.
From Portonovo to Numana there's the perfect beach for you
.
Escape the crowds for secluded seashores with a hike or boat ride to the Due Sorelle
.
Head to Numana Alta for soft sand and beach resorts
.
Dine in style right on the water in the Bay of Portonovo (you can even eat in a fort built by Napoleon!)
.
Or try all three, because one day of soaking up the summer sun in Italy just won't do
.
Who's dreaming of fun under the sun Italian style?
.
PS. Don't forget the sound! .

THE HIGHEST CONCENTRATION OF THEATRES IN THE WORLD

THE HIGHEST CONCENTRATION OF THEATRES IN THE WORLD
.
Where?...
.
Le Marche!
.
Just in the city if Ascoli alone there is 3 historic theatres.
.
Kicking off Ascoli's reopening of it's museums to the public, guided visits to the Teatro Ventido Basso were for free!
.
Throughout the winter you can visit the theatre to watch a play or the opera
.
A unique fact about this theatre is it has a flat ceiling. This affects the acoustics.
.
When you join us on tour you'll have to test out the acoustics in both Ventido Basso & Teatro Serpente Aureo...
.
And let us know which one you think has the better acoustics 😉

TOMORROW IS THE DAY . No more dreaming about aperi

TOMORROW IS THE DAY
.
No more dreaming about aperitivo time in the piazza (although it won't quite be business as usual) .
May 18th marks the reopening of restaurants (as well as hairdressers)
.
But I am most excited about the food 😉
.
(For now a haircut is on hold) .
When restaurants reopen in your town, what is the first meal you'll have out?
.
PS. I am dreaming of risotto & a glass of bubbly... .

SUNSETS DURING SPRING . There's something special

SUNSETS DURING SPRING
.
There's something special about the city at sunset
.
And how it lights up Ascoli with a golden glow
.
It's also one of the most beautiful times during May to head to the piazza for an Aperitivo
.
Starting Monday restaurants will start to reopen in our region and soon enjoying golden hour with an aperol spritz in hand will no longer be a thing of past.
.
What are you looking forward to as lockdown lifts?
.
.
.
PS. Mostly I am looking forward to being able to travel and take guests, like you, on tours of Italy's hidden regions.
.
But for now I will celebrate with cocktail hour in the piazza and finally being able to see friends again .

TRUFFLE COUNTRY IN SPRING . Long gone is truffle s

TRUFFLE COUNTRY IN SPRING
.
Long gone is truffle season
.
Black & white are best eaten during the late fall & winter months
.
And that's the beauty about Italian cuisine: every ingredient has it's perfect time and place.
.
Just like every season brings the opportunity to enjoy Italy in a new light
.
Summer time brings long days and warm evenings filled with strolls to the piazza or walks along the lungomare
.
Fall is harvest season and marks the vendemmia of wine & olives, followed by chestnuts and truffles.
.
Winter is magical as the city squares fill with Christmas markets and skating rinks
.
Spring it is the season of new beginnings, growth and its when Le Marche's countryside is emerald green.
.
Each season so unique you just can't pick one, but you can pick what you want to experience.
.
What's your favourite season to experience Italy?
