Hiking, indoor climbing, starry skies and good food made with love will be the ingredients of a long weekend of intense activities, and not only that, there will be room for evening relaxation in a villa immersed in the quiet green of the high Modenese hills of the Sassi di Roccamalatina Regional Park.
