Detailed itinerary

The town you will discover during this excursion will be Urbania rich in History and beauty. A guide will walk you through the alleys of the town giving you the chance to learn about its tales and stories

During your time in town you will have access to the Ducal Palace of the village, a real jewel of the Montefeltro family.

This magnificient building used to be the hunting residency of Urbino's dukes. It is normally closed for general visits but our guests will have the chance to access a part of the building exclusively

This little, but beautiful theatre it's another hidden gem of this little town. The guide will take you in to have a sneak peak of the Bramante Theatre, still active and well preserved

This will be the last stop in Urbania before leaving town: it may be a bit creepy however we believe it's a must go of your visit so we granted you access to it. It is a church where mommies are still preserved and you will see them. The guide will explain why this church still preserves these bodies and why.

After Urbania you will be taken to Acqualagna for lunch. Acqualagna is the second most important city for truffle production in Italy so it certainly deserves a stop before going back to Urbino.

Your lunch is already booked, so seat back, relax and enjoy some great food.

The last, short stop of this excursion will be at the Furlo Gorge. This natural canyon dug by river Candigliano offers some breathetaking views. In recent years the gorge has been deviated by a dam who formed a man made lake which makes the whole surroundings even more beautiful.

You will have time to stretch, take some picture before the return journey.
