Sunday Excursion

Sunday. Open the persiane. Blue sky. January sun. Crisp and clear. Birds chirping.
This calls for a day out. Wake up, everyone!


What are we up to this time? Never get a chance to oversleep!

Everyone else seems to get ready for a giro. Trekking, biking, paragliding, rafting… Let’s plan our day.

Fare quattro passi


Why not stroll, the Trevi alleys? Let’s call friends per fare quattro passi.


Trevi, a medieval hill-top jewel with the most stunning views of the endless olive groves, oliveti, and further on Spoleto and Montefalco. Silvery green olive trees, producing a heavenly extra vergine, our daily elixir.

The town is currently undergoing a thorough renovation project. The earthquakes, terremoti, in 1997, damaged parts of the centro storico.


And look at the city walls now! Literally glittering.

Noble houses wake up from their torpor…


A monastery wall. Still asleep…

Private homes. Carefully restored. Patinous facing. Walls in a pink tint – the earth colour pigment, typical of this area.


Our stomachs – our autopilots – gear us towards an osteria at one o’clock sharp. After a long pranzo it is time to slow down.

Before we say "a la prossima", I take a photo of one of the agave plants, thriving in the afternoon sun.

There will be more about Trevi and her neighbouring hill-top gioielli. There is so much to more to explore. Buon week-end e tante belle cose ! Ingrid
