Treat yourself to an unforgettable evening in Umbria, far from mass tourism and close to the magic of nature. This astrotourism experience is designed for curious travelers, couples on holiday, and visitors looking for authentic activities that combine landscape, tradition, local flavors, and the wonder of the starry sky.
The experience begins at the most enchanting moment of the day: sunset. Surrounded by the peaceful Umbrian countryside, as the sun slowly disappears beyond the horizon and the sky fills with warm colors, guests are welcomed with a rich aperitif featuring traditional Umbrian products. A selection of local cured meats and cheeses, bruschetta with Umbrian extra virgin olive oil, regional specialties, and local wines create a relaxed and convivial atmosphere—perfect for savoring Umbria with all your senses.
As night falls and the first stars appear, the heart of the experience comes to life: a guided stargazing session, led by an expert astronomy guide who will take participants on a true journey through the Universe.
Thanks to a professional telescope, the night sky can be observed in a clear and detailed way, even by those with no prior knowledge of astronomy.

Depending on the time of year, the observation may include the main planets of the Solar System, such as Jupiter and Saturn, which are among the highlights of many stargazing nights. Jupiter reveals its natural satellites in real time, while Saturn offers the unforgettable sight of its spectacular rings—an image that leaves a lasting impression on every observer.
On some evenings, the experience will focus on Moon observation, ideal for exploring the lunar surface in detail. Through the telescope, guests can admire lunar craters, seas, and mountain ranges, while discovering fascinating facts and stories that make the Moon even more captivating. When the Moon is present or full, its brightness does not allow full observation of the Milky Way, but it provides an extraordinarily sharp and detailed view of Earth’s natural satellite.
On moonless nights, however, the Umbrian sky reveals its full grandeur. The absence of moonlight allows the observation of numerous deep-sky objects, true treasures of astronomy. Depending on the season, guests may observe the Andromeda Galaxy, the famous Orion Nebula, the Double Cluster in Perseus, the impressive Hercules Globular Cluster, and the evocative Ring Nebula in Lyra, often invisible from cities but spectacular under a dark, clear sky.
