The perfect shortbreak: four days in the Umbrian hills between nature, relaxation and taste

Spring is the perfect time of year to enjoy a regenerative break: the winter is now behind, the days that burst with light until a few weeks before the unthinkable, the right climate to return to be outdoors and admire beautiful views.

If you need help to build your perfect spring short break (but not only, it can be perfect in all seasons), we have thought of a “schedule” for an ideal holiday in our opinion.

Maybe you’ll find the inspiration you need and decide to come visit us, that’s why we suggest it.

We imagined a period of four days, the right time to relax in an authentic way, and we try to tell you about it below.

First Day

It’s Friday, you chose not to work today or Monday, so you have a long weekend available.

You wake up calmly, pack a bag with the necessary for a few days off, and choose whether to reach us by car or train. After all, both solutions are right for Altarocca Wine Resort.

Arrive in the afternoon in view of our beautiful hills radiated by the magical light of those hours of the day, in front of you vineyards and olive groves as far as the eye can see, and the feeling of a unique well-being, which begins to get stronger and stronger as the day draws to a close.

After a refreshment to put the trip behind you and maybe a welcome drink on our beautiful terrace, we propose a romantic dinner with tasting menu in our restaurant Invinum.

The gourmet proposal of our chef enhances the excellence of the territory and bring you inside the world of Altarocca.

A world that has two main actors, to whom we dedicate the best attention we are capable of: olive trees, which give us wonderful oils, and vineyards, which can condense and concentrate the territory we love in beautiful wines.

Second Day

After a serene night and a good restful sleep, the second day at Altarocca Wine Resort starts with a breakfast that has the task of making you feel finally on holiday, to all intents and purposes. A welcoming atmosphere, the warmth of the staff that gives you a good morning, and a culinary proposal capable of satisfying all tastes, entirely homemade.

The real discovery of Altarocca Wine Resort is after breakfast, when we propose you a visit to our winery. The wines you enjoyed the night before at dinner come from here.

We will start with a walk in the vineyard, among the rows of our vines, breathing the air that breathe them, clear, sparkling early in the morning and soft as soon as the sun comes out.

Our sommelier will accompany you, telling you the story of a real family runned winery that gave the kick-start to the Wine Resort: a typical Italian story, that of a passion that has become a craft, the most beautiful and difficult, that of the welcome in your own home.

Walking gives you an appetite, you know, and then we will indulge: we will propose a picnic in the vineyard, a different experience and in contact with nature.

We will prepare for you a real picnic basket with typical Umbrian delicacies and our wines.

We chose a reserved location in the vineyard from which you can admire a breathtaking view: the red and white checkered tablecloth that immediately picnic, and you can enjoy – literally – the whole of Umbria.

If that sounds appealing to you so far, we’re happy, but that’s not all.

The day cannot end without our most authentic wellness offer: treatments with oil therapy and wine therapy.

We use what the earth gives us thanks to our work in synergy with the environment not only at the table, but also for body care.

And we propose you to do it in the Private SPA: we have four different treatments for couples, with a wine or oil bath, which we combine with a massage.

The hot tub in which we pour our organic products is inside a real barrique: a unique experience in which oil and wine release all their beneficial properties. We will accompany your relaxation with a glass of wine, and then we will close with the massage you have chosen.

Third Day

After a day like the previous one can we do any better? In Italy we say “Tentar non nuoce” that is “To attempt is not harming you!”

The third day in Altarocca begins, after breakfast, with the Truffle Experience: we like to make this proposal to our guests because – once again – it is one of the most authentic experiences of the Umbrian territory that can be done. It gives us another chance to show how much we love this land.

Together with an expert guide, a truffle hunter, escorted by his loyal hound, you will go and search of this delicacy: with a little luck (and if you do not have it we will take care of that!) you can taste the treasure just found as the protagonist of a gourmet lunch in our Invinum restaurant.

In the afternoon, it’s time for exclusive relaxation that we propose: the Exclusive SPA Mosaico.

A wellness path with heated pool and whirlpool, two saunas, two Turkish baths, the meditation room with heated water beds, the ice waterfall and emotional showers, as well as the panoramic relaxation room. All this is at your disposal, exclusively,, no one else around for 90 minutes.

During this moment of well-being that – we are sure – will restore your body and soul, we will offer you an aperitif based on finger food and bubbles of our cellar.

Fourth Day

Came the last day of holiday at Altarocca Wine Resort, and we want to close with an immersive experience, of those who remember with pleasure, that give smiles and moments of authentic leisure: it is our “Cook & Taste Experience”.

A professional chef will teach you how to make two classics of the Umbrian culinary tradition, and in particular of the area of Orvieto: umbrichelli and homemade tagliatelle.

By getting your hands dirty with flour, you will create magnificent fresh pasta that our kitchen staff will then have the pleasure of cooking for you, combining it with other local flavors.

After lunch, you can getting back on the road on your way home, without worries: in these few days in Altarocca we hope – if you want to come to visit us – we transmitted you the peace, well-being, and rhythms on a human scale of a territory like ours.

A place, this one, that we hope will enter your heart and take you back to visit us.
