Enjoy the relaxing beauty of Farfa, Greccio, and Cascia on a Private Tour
Embark on a deeply meaningful journey through the quiet beauty of central Italy’s most sacred landscapes. This exclusive full-day private tour to Farfa, Greccio, and Cascia takes you through tranquil valleys and forested hills where history, spirituality, and nature converge.
Begin your day at the Abbey of Farfa, a magnificent Benedictine complex founded in the 6th century. Hidden in the Sabine hills, this peaceful village preserves a long monastic tradition, with medieval frescoes, a Romanesque bell tower, and a serene cloister that invites contemplation. Stroll through the cobbled alleys of the village and experience the rhythm of life as it’s been for centuries.
Continue to Greccio, a quiet hill town with extraordinary Franciscan heritage. Here, in 1223, St. Francis of Assisi created the world’s first living Nativity scene, forever changing how Christmas is celebrated. Visit the Sanctuary of the Nativity, dramatically set into the mountainside, and absorb the spiritual atmosphere that still surrounds this site of humble innovation and deep faith.
End your day in Cascia, nestled in the Umbrian hills, where pilgrims from around the world come to visit the Basilica of Saint Rita, one of Italy’s most beloved saints. Explore the basilica, her preserved cell, and the beautiful upper church where her remains are venerated. Whether you seek personal reflection, religious connection, or cultural understanding, this visit offers a moment of profound inspiration.
With private transportation, a knowledgeable guide, and full flexibility, this tour offers a serene, immersive experience into Italy’s spiritual heartland — one of devotion, silence, and beauty that lingers long after the journey ends.
