Overview

Get under the skin of Italy and follow in the footsteps of Emperors, Romans, and Clergymen on this one-week self-guided holiday, as you follow the Via Francigena from Montefiascone to the Eternal City of Rome. Feast on exquisite fresh produce washed down with a glass of Montefiascone’s famous Est!! Est!! Est!!!; stand in awe atop hilltop villages as you breathe in the beauty of the tapestry that is the rural Italian landscape; and be taken on a spiritual journey as you meander towards St Peters Basilica.


Walking up to 6 hours a day along well signposted routes and staying in a mix of small family run accommodations you will be sure of a warm welcome at the end of a day. Your walk will take you to ancient ruins, through Etruscan Hollow Roads, the opportunity to bathe in the warm waters of Bagnaccio thermal baths, and the majestic Monte waterfalls- so inviting they have been the backdrop for several films. This is a walking holiday for mind, body and spirit (and your taste buds) and if you want to savour the Le Dolce Vita a little longer you can add additional nights in Rome, or easily pair your trip with our Self-Guided Walking on the Cinque Terre holiday which is just a train journey away.
