Richy Ranch from €32.50 per night

A large grassy area located in a very quiet spot in the northeast area of the Rieti plain known as the Holy Valley. The location is easily accessible via comfortable, paved roads and close to the urban centers of Rieti and Terni. It is about an hour and a half from Rome, two hours from Perugia, and three from Florence. It is located within the Lungo and Ripasottile Lakes Nature Reserve, close to the Marmore Falls and about half an hour from Mount Terminillo. From the location, hiking trails such as the Cammino di San Benedetto and the Cammino di San Francesco are easily accessible. All the Franciscan sanctuaries and sites of religious interest linked to the saint of Assisi are located just a few kilometers away. The Poggio Bustone hang-gliding and paragliding launch pads are also nearby. The area is rich in mountain biking and hiking trails. A 40-minute drive away, you can go rafting and kayaking at the Velino Gorges to the south and the Nera Gorges to the west. The ski slopes of Monte Terminillo and Campostella in Leonessa, as well as Campo Felice and Gran Sasso in the province of L'Aquila, are easily accessible in winter. When snow conditions allow, snowshoeing and ski mountaineering are also possible.
