Escapade Médiévale Arquà Petrarca: Secret des Collines

J'ai été particulièrement satisfait du personnel de Lovivo et de notre guide Camilla. Lovivo était très doué pour nous aider à définir un lieu de prise en charge et à nous assurer de le reconnaître (en fournissant une photo en direct). Ils ont été très patients avec mon accès limité à la communication. Ils ont également fait un excellent travail en combinant deux groupes linguistiques, trop petits pour planifier une visite, mais en fournissant à chaque groupe son propre guide. Camilla était extrêmement bien informée et très agréable. J'ai apprécié d'entendre parler de la manière dont elle a été formée dans le cadre de son parcours. Cela a ajouté de l'authenticité à la visite et aux informations de base. Il convient de noter la grande qualité des producteurs d’huile d’olive et de Giuggiole. . . . J'ai constaté que le niveau de qualité n'est pas typique lors des visites de groupe et les personnes visitées parlent bien du niveau d'expérience offert par Lovivo. Ce circuit spécifique est très discret et pas du tout physiquement exigeant. Tandis que la tombe et la maison de Pétrarque étaient intéressantes et appréciaient grandement l’arrêt pittoresque, j’ai trouvé le plus grand intérêt pour les deux producteurs déjà mentionnés et pour le grand service de guide fourni par Camilla. Ceci est une excellente tournée, si vous cherchez quelque chose de sobre et rythmé. Je recommande vivement Lovivo et Camilla

It was a privilege to spend a few hours on such a beautiful day in a comfortable minibus taking a ride through the picturesque Euganean hills and seeing the wonderful town of Arquà Petrarca and the famous medieval dwelling of Petrarch. If you don't have a car, this place is otherwise inaccessible. And besides, our guide Chiara told and showed us a lot of interesting things, she was very warm and friendly, and spoke fluently not only English, but also my niece's native Portuguese! Along with two other very special and cosmopolitan ladies, my niece and I had some unforgettable moments. It was an incredible coincidence that we also shared a common origin with one of them! It's a small world! And very beautiful.

Our guide, Cami, picked us up in a minivan at our hotel, Mioni Royal San and there were 4 total on the tour plus the guide. The tour was given in English, and luckily the other two guests were pretty fluent though Cami did fill in some details for one of the guests either in French or German, I'm not sure which. On our way to the olive orchards we stopped for a little information and picture opportunities at a few very old buildings that were in excellent condition were a little later period than the Medieval City. At the orchard, we went in the morning so we could get a tour of the state of the art machinery used to process the olives picked each day. Several large stainless steel processors that cleaned, pitted, pressed and prepared the olive oil that was then bottled by hand. There was a small shop that had all varieties of products related to olives, much of it done there at this facility. We did some tasting of different varieties of olive oil. After driving through the Euganean Hills, a lovely countryside we arrived at the Ancient City, Aqua Petrarca. We walked on the paving stone roads to the large home where the leading family in the area lived. It is preserved with its original walls and wooden parquet ceilings. Then a gentle walk down to the Holy Trinity church, during which the church bells rang loudly at noon. The Church is lovely inside and is still used by the community. There was an interesting building that had a huge old grape vine coming out of the wall in a couple of places and it spreads out on the exterior wall. The History, the guide and the whole experience was great.

It is hard to pick our favorite thing in this tour in that all of it was great. Our guide was Camilla, who was excellent. In addition to her native Italian, she speaks fluent English, French and German, but our particular tour was all in English. Arqua Petraca was a unique little medieval village. We particulary enjoyed a visit to the house of Petrarca, a famous Italian poet. There, Camilla gave us an interesting history of Petrarca, his loves and life. We also enjoyed a visit to Brodo di Arqua Petrarca where we tasted unique awesom liquors. We then went to Evo del Borgo and both learned about the making of olive oil and tasting several types of olive oil. Greatly increased our appriciation of olive oil. his trip was a wonderful break from the crowds and bustle of Venice and Padova.

The guide was very knowledgeable and so patient with the different needs of all guests. Loved the small size of the group

Today we explored the little Italian village of Arqua Petra with Camilla and it was such a wonderful experience. We wondered down winding alley ways filled with beauty and historic significance. Visited a famous Italian poet and were able to sample various artisanal products from the colli eugani hills. Such a great day made even better with a knowledgeable and professional guide committed to providing us an unforgettable tour. A ++++

We had a wonderful tour today with an expert who is happy to answer our questions and never made us feel rushed! So personable. The olive oil was amazing. The villa gorgeous! There are several other tours I want to do with this company after the wonderful experience today!

AURA Dimore ad Arquà Petrarca „Ciche i bardzo czyste miejsce. Dobre i obfite śniadanie. Sympatyczni właściciele. Spacerkiem do cudnego miasteczka, w którym ostatnie lata spędził poeta Francesco Petrarca. Na pewno wrócimy w Wzgórza Eugenejskie i do Arqua Petrarca.”

La gita è stata interessante e con tante cose da vedere e "gustare". La prima tappa, in un oleificio della zona, ci ha fatto scoprire come la produzione di un olio così delicato e gustoso allo stesso tempo sia frutto di lavoro di specialisti e di un'esperienza pluriennale nel settore. Quindi il Borgo di Arquà, dove è la tomba di Petrarca, con la visita alla villa dove il poeta ha trascorso gli ultimi anni della sua vita e con la guida che ci ha raccontato la storia del personaggio e del periodo in cui è vissuto. Ho avuto dei bellissimi flash su ricordi di quanto avevo letto sui libri di scuola ... qualche anno fa ,,, Per concludere una visita ad un bar dove abbiamo potuto assaggiare il famoso "Brodo di Giuggiole" .... buonissimo.

Con grande piacere, il mio giudizio è estremamente positivo e consiglio questo tour alla conoscenza del borgo con degustazione olio e liquore tipico! Bravissima la nostra accompagnatrice Chiara e Marta per le pratiche in ufficio. Professionalità e simpatia! Una piacevolissima giornata che porterò con me a Torino e la farò conoscere con le mie parole ai miei affetti! Continuate così! Buon lavoro e spero di rivedervi presto!😘
