Holiday apartment in Trevi: Villa Fabri, olive trails and regional cuisine

Trevi lies on the slopes of Monte Serano, on a hill covered with olive groves. The inhabited center is enclosed by imposing Roman walls dating from the 1st century BC. Anyone looking for a holiday apartment in Trevi will find a place where the landscape, townscape and culture are closely interconnected.

Culture between Villa Fabri and Roman walls

Villa Fabri was built from the ground up by Girolamo Fabri towards the end of the 16th century and inaugurated in 1603. The halls of the piano nobile, the main representative floor, retain an extensive fresco decoration from the first half of the 17th century that is well preserved throughout. The chapel of Villa Fabri is richly decorated with depictions of the stories of Saint Wenceslas and Saint Francis. For you, this means that the historic character is not abstract, but tangible in the architecture, paintings and sacred representations.

The Church of Sant'Emiliano dates from the 13th century.

Paths through olive groves and views across the valley

A tree-lined, level promenade about 800 meters long runs along Trevi's historic walls. From this path, you can look out over olive groves and the valley below. Its manageable length makes the promenade a practical destination for a walk and for breaks with views of the landscape.

The Sentiero degli ulivi runs through Trevi. It connects Spoleto with Assisi and is a route dedicated entirely to the olive tree. It reaches elevations of 500 to 600 meters and includes scattered 16th-century olive farmers' houses. Olive farmers lived in these houses during the harvest seasons. This makes the route particularly interesting for travelers who want to combine physical activity with the landscape and rural history.

The Assisi–Spoleto cycle route is an easy trail that is also suitable for families with children.

Sedano nero di Trevi and cuisine in October

Sedano nero di Trevi has been grown in the area since the 17th century and is one of the six Slow Food Presidia of the Umbria region. It can grow up to one meter long, has dark green ribs, a characteristic aroma and no fibers. Its long cultivation tradition and distinctive qualities give the regional cuisine a unique theme.

Sedani ripieni di salsiccia is a dish eaten in Trevi in October. Its seasonal connection makes this specialty particularly interesting for you if you would like to discover regional cuisine not separately from the place, but in the context of the cycle of the year.

If you choose your holiday apartment in Trevi according to the theme of your desired holiday, the combination of the historic townscape, olive trails and regional specialty offers a range of ideas for each day. This allows you to combine culture, walks and food in your plans without having to limit yourself to just one type of experience.
