Recommended itineraries
The following highly recommended itineraries cover varying distances, from a minimum of 70 km (about 40 miles) to a maximum of 150 km (about 90 miles ). With a leisurely, mid morning departure from l'Amorosa and allowing for plenty of en route stops, these itineraries will easily keep you occupied for the whole day, with return to the hotel in time for a tempting pre-dinner aperitif. Naturally, all routes can be modified, shortened or extended to best meet each guest's particular interests.
During your trip, you are likely to want to stop for a light snack or for a proper, sit-down meal. We will be delighted to provide you with the names of those establishments where you can expect to enjoy good service and food, especially if you mention that you are guests of the Locanda dell'Amorosa. If you are not satisfied, let us know, and, if we receive repeat complaints, we will remove the restaurant from our list of recommended restaurants.
