Acqualagna, the capital of Italian truffle and gateway to the enchanting Furlo Gorge, is the perfect starting point to enjoy authentic experiences infused with flavors, local traditions, and unforgettable landscapes.
In June, the Palio del Re, a medieval historical reenactment featuring costumed parades, medieval games, district rivalries, and ancient-style performances, celebrates the area's rich history and heritage.
In autumn, during the weekends of November, Acqualagna transforms into the stage for the renowned International White Truffle Fair. This festival is a feast for the senses, offering fresh truffle markets, star chef cooking shows, tastings, workshops, competitions, and food and wine encounters. The heart of the event lies in Piazza Enrico Mattei, where the vibrant Taste Market unfolds, hosting local specialties and international stalls. Don’t miss the "Salotto da Gustare" the celebrity cooking showdowns, the prestigious Tartufo Award, tasting masterclasses, and the celebrated “Ruscella d’Oro” award honoring individuals who have promoted the region.
The village shines in other seasons, too: in February, the Regional Fair of the Precious Black Truffle delights lovers of bold and intense flavors; and in August, the Summer Black Truffle Fair returns with markets, shows, and family entertainment.
Acqualagna also serves as an ideal base for nature lovers: the Furlo Gorge State Nature Reserve offers scenic trails for walking or cycling, with postcard-worthy views immersed in verdant beauty.
This refined property represents an exclusive refuge for those who wish to explore the beauties of Pesaro and surrounding territories. Among the advantages of Villa Azzurra is certainly its strategic position that allows you to enjoy the natural landscape and reach places of considerable interest and value. From Acqualagna, a popular destination for lovers of food and wine tours where to try truffle hunting experience, to the city of Urbino, one of the most important centers of the Italian Renaissance and declared World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
