Easter and beginning of the sunny time
Easter and spring awakening
April 14-19, 2022 for groups or as a private guided tour
Welcome to the Marche
You arrive in Ancona Falconara at the airport, where you will be picked up by your tour guide. The journey now goes to the south of the Marche, to Campofilone. Depending on the time of arrival, there is still the opportunity to make a short excursion to San Benedetto del Tronto, the "Riviera delle Palme", where thousands of palm trees line the promenade.
You will have the evening menu in the hotel with specialties from the Marche, suitable for Maundy Thursday, which is called Giovedi Santo here.
Good Friday:
In the morning you will drive to the most important pilgrimage site of the Catholic Church in Rome: Loreto. It is not a question of belief, but anyone who can enjoy the marvels of sculpture and painting as well as unusual buildings has come to the right place. The Holy House of Mary, which stands in the center of the basilica, is surrounded by a magnificent 600 m2 marble relief, which the greatest Italian artists created in the 16th century in collaboration. There are many other art treasures and a museum that is also well worth a visit to this enormous work. Return to the hotel in the afternoon. You will then drive to Offida for dinner. There the Good Friday procession is celebrated in a very special way, which is worth experiencing without being spectacular.
Easter Saturday:
Start the morning with a trip to Ascoli Piceno. The city of 100 towers and travertine is reminiscent of a theater backdrop, this is how harmonious this place is. Here you will also meet Café Meletti, one of the 10 most beautiful Art Nouveau cafes in Italy on one of the 10 most beautiful squares in Italy. Not to forget the anisetta, which is only produced here in the original. Opportunity to have a lunch here, as a recommendation, the Ascolan olives at Migliori! In the afternoon you pay a visit to a Lombard town, Castel Trosino. This tiny place towers high above Ascoli. There are no great works of art, no great sights, it's just a place for peace and tranquility. Those who prefer to stay in Ascoli will be picked up there. Afterwards you will return to the hotel, where you will have a delicious dinner menu.
Easter Sunday:
In the morning you will take a short walk through one of the ancient places over the sea, which were the original cities before construction was carried out directly on the sea. Feel transported back centuries and experience an Italy the way you dreamed it. Those who would like to take part in the Easter fair also have the opportunity to do so in Cupra Marittima.
Now is the time for the delicious and very extensive Easter menu in the hotel, where you will be pampered with all the delights of the Marchigian cuisine. Not to forget an Easter egg, which in Italy is made of chocolate.
After this sumptuous meal you have the opportunity to take a short walk or just to enjoy the rest of the afternoon in peace.
Since the Easter menu is very extensive, you will only have a small menu in the evening.
Pasquetta - Day of Excursions
Easter Monday, called Pasquetta in Italian, is a day for excursions when everyone just enjoys spring. You too are planning an excursion today. Wherever it goes we want it to be a surprise, but you can be sure that you will experience a lot of new things. Depending on the weather, you will organize a picnic at lunchtime - like many Italians - or have lunch in an idyllic restaurant. In the late afternoon you return to the hotel to end your Easter trip with a farewell dinner.
Arrivederci nelle Marche
Today you return home. Hopefully you will keep the brands in good memory and return to the land of harmony one day.
