Farmhouse
The farmhouse, dating from 1885, is situated at almost 3,000 feet above sea level. The house is at the edge of a forest and overlooks a beautiful valley. The nearest neighbours live in Carovilli, a little village 4 miles away. The front of the house faces a large oak forest whereas the rear offers a splendid view of the mountains and a valley.
The house is not very big, but quite comfortable. It was completely renovated in 2003. The living-room has a nice fireplace, a piano, and a modest library. There is 1 double room upstairs and a dormitory with four single beds and one double bed downstairs. There are 2 bathrooms with all modern conveniences.
** If you do prefer more privacy on these days, we can arrange for a room (with private bath) in the nearby B&B (8 minutes drive by car) with a supplemental charge - transfers are provided. Or if you are the last riders to book (numbers 9 and 10) you will be accommodated there as well and will have to pay this supplement.

Agriturismo in Roccasicura
The house is a beautiful stone building that was recently restored. It offers great views over the valley below. The 6 bedrooms all feature a unique decor and they all have private facilities. There is free Wi-Fi access at this property.

Rifugio Colle dell'Orso in Frosolone
This mountain refuge consists of a little stone house with shared facilities (2 toilets and 1 shower). Upstairs there are 3 cozy dormitory-style bedrooms (no single rooms available here). You will have to chop some wood in order to feed the fire pit and get hot water. Weather permitting, you can sleep outside on the veranda and watch the sky full of stars. There is no Wi-Fi access here.

Hotel in Civitanova del Sannio
All rooms are classically furnished and come equipped with a TV and private bathroom. Free Wi-Fi access is available in common areas.

Room Occupancy
If we are unable to find another rider to share the room with you, a single supplement fee applied.
Single room accommodations are subject to availability.



Meals
All meals are included for this trip from dinner on Day 1 to breakfast on Day 8.

You can be assured that at all these destinations you will be comfortable and very well fed. You will never go hungry here! Our own testers called the food 'imaginative and delectable' and 'original and sumptuous'! The food is wonderful with great care being taken to provide local specialties cooked with fresh ingredients.  Carmine used to own a restaurant and this is apparent from the wonderful recipes he shares with his guests. The tiramisu is the very best!

Breakfast is usually 'continental'. Expect a lot of delicious pasta, salads, cheese, and bread. You will also taste the juiciest, sweetest tomatoes with fresh mozzarella, tasty salami, and other delights like tiramisu and fresh peaches.
Lunchtime often consists of salami, cheese, and bread picnic-style, accompanied with a glass of crisp wine.

Wines and beers are included during meals. All other drinks must be paid for.

For the trek we collect Euro 40 per person to go into a mutual fund for refreshments on our way plus drinks and snacks other than at meals.
