This was one of the best experiences of our honeymoon. Mario invites you into his BEAUTIFUL home and tells you everything you need to know about truffles. He then took us out on the hunt with his two VERY sweet dogs. It was an exciting and easy hike – the views looking down onto La Morra were spectacular. After finding truffles, we returned to Mario’s home where he cooked a delicious meal. We enjoyed wine, and great conversation
