Have a walk along the lanes crossing the surrounding fields around manor houses and farms. It is really impressive to see how many poppies colour the countryside in spring time and the yellow corn colour it in summer time. For a cultural visit you can enter villa “Badia”, whose rooms are so nicely decorated that they are also used as locations for videos, photos, reading sections, painting exhibitions, or other educational meetings.
