Wandering through the alleys of Picinisco, sitting down in the shade of the old linden tree in Settefrati, passing through the “Gate of the Assumption” in Atina: your journey in the Comino Valley means travelling through history, blending yourself with nature while discovering the flavours and traditions of a land in the heart of Italy.
Borghi Vivi, Living Villages, is a network of towns that are the witnesses and guardians of the identity and local traditions of the Comino Valley, thanks to their historic, cultural and landscape features. Medieval towns and villages perched on and sheltered by the surrounding hills and mountains that have become a treasure trove of local traditions and customs unchanged by time and proudly inherited by their residents.
A local heritage that in time has turned into an outstanding variety of events, marked by the festivals celebrating local patron saints and folkloristic traditions, which are part of a new way of thinking tourism.
Tourists are no longer just onlookers and passive consumers, but the active recipients called to live an immersive experience into a warm, sustainable way of living, respecting the rhythms and identity of the host community.
The tourist services designed for the network of “Borghi Vivi” therefore aim at fulfilling the needs of curious travellerswho are looking for holiday destinations marking rich experiences, but also seeking more carefully non-hotel lodgings and restaurant facilities able to make an effort to fulfil the different needs of customers, and yet very competitive in the national and international tourist market.
