Itinerary for Occhito Lake Getaway




Sample Itinerary - subject to changes

Please, note that the itinerary below is to be considered indicative. It may be subject to variations due to weather conditions or circumstances beyond our control.

Day 1 (Thursday): Arrival 
Make your way to the Fortore Valley: a rural area characterized by cultivated fields, small orchards, woods, and hills that gently bend towards the valley. Nearby, you can see Occhito Lake, 13 square km of water completely surrounded by nature. Check into your accommodation. We will give a presentation of the horses and enjoy dinner together with typical products.
Meals included: Dinner
Overnight at Farmhouse in Colletorto


Day 2 (Friday): Valle del Fortore to Lake Occhito
A delicious breakfast will be served at 9am. The typical morning mist that hovers all around the reservoir will gradually thin out. It's time to leave! This morning, we ride for a few hours along the numerous trails in the area. You will appreciate the remarkable variety of flora and fauna that lives near the lake. You might be able to see a family of wild boars, perhaps a wolf or a small otter. There will be no lack of aerial trajectories of kites and buzzards.
At 1.30 pm, we stop for lunch, right on the shores of the lake, then, after a few moments of relaxation, we will leave for an ancient fortified manor. Tonight, we enjoy a good dinner.
Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Overnight at Manor near Occihto Lake


Day 3 (Saturday): Lake Occhito Ride
After breakfast, we tack up the horses and get back in the saddle for another day of trekking. We will discover a new side of the lake. 
After a long excursion, it will be time to have our picnic lunch, made with local products. After our break, we set off again to reach a new farmhouse that will host us for the night. Typical dinner.
Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Overnight at Farmhouse in Fortore Valley


Day 4 (Sunday): Departure day
This morning, we enjoy the last part of our fascinating riding journey. Once back at the stables, we enjoy a goodbye lunch.
