Festa dei ceri Gubbio

One of the oldest umbrian events.

An impetuous race in the medieval streets of Gubbio

player in the deranged race in the city streets directed to the Basilica on Monte Ingino.

The festive days in the city are not limited on 15th May, day of the race. The festive climate
can be breathed from the first sunday of May, in which the Ceri are transferred to the city
from the Basilica of Sant’Ubaldo.

Nature and adventure

Visit the Sibillini Mountains

The Sibillini Mountains, the fourth bigger massif of the Central Apennines, national park.

Between flora and fauna in an uncontaminated area

Departing from GG8 Hotel, taking the highway, in 45 minutes you will reach Muccia, foothills
of the Park. In more or less an hour you will reach Norcia, birthplace of Saint Benedict.

Summarising the beauty of the Sibillini Mountains is impossible, from the blossoming of
Castelluccio, to the excursions on the mountains Vettore, Sibilla, Priore, Bova…

The park is an explosion of flora and fauna: golden eagles, wolves, deers, chamoises,
wildcats, eagle owls are some of the animals you might meet…

Departing from Gualdo Tadino

Naturally who would rather an holiday exclusively on the Sibillini Mountains will choose an
hotel inside the Park.

But who wants to explore the entire region, or interchange the visit at the Sibillini Mountains
with paragliding on Monte Cucco, or who wants to enjoy both the Frasassi Caves and the
blossoming of Castelluccio, without losing an excursion in some umbrian city, then GG8 stay
in a central position which allows to plan a more funny and well-structured holiday freely.

If you want to, we can get you in contact with licensed environmental guides AIGAE (the
professional association of Interpretive Nature Guides).
