Collevecchio With your hands

Walk among olive trees and roses with a local tasting

Collevecchio

Massimo planted gardens by theme and left the olive groves as they were, so the walk goes from roses in rows to trees that were here first. It ends under one of them, with a table.

How the day goes

  1. Through the themed gardens and out into the organic olive groves at Collevecchio.
  2. A stop under a large olive tree, where the farm's oil and local products come out.
  3. If you want more ground under you, the route carries on onto the Via di Francesco.

This is a walk at talking pace with a table at the end rather than a hike, and boots would be wasted on it.
