Relais Il Canalicchio Srl

-THE HAMLET OF CANALICCHIO SITS ON A HILLTOP- 420 METERS ABOVE SEA LEVEL. ORIGINALLY IT WAS BUILT AROUND THE YEAR 1000. MOST OF WHAT YOU SEE NOW WAS RESTORED IN THE 1700S- INCLUDING THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH OF SAINTS PHILIP AND JAMES. IN THE 1980S A FAMILY FROM ROME BOUGHT UP MOST WHAT WAS AT THE TIME A VILLAGE REDUCED TO RUINS. AFTER MANY YEARS OF HARD WORK- USING THE CRAFTSMEN AND ARTISANS OF THE AREA- THE RUNDOWN HAMLET WAS REBORN IN 1995- AND THE RELAIS IL CANALICCHIO WAS RESTORED TO ITS FORMER SPLENDOUR. THE RELAIS IS BUILT WITH THE TYPICAL UMBRIAN STONEWORK WHERE YOU CAN RELIVE THE RURAL MEMORY OF THE PLACE.
