Kayaking the Nera River - This was such a great experience! Serena and her husband were so friendly and knowledgeable. I learned a lot, and had a ton of fun. Definitely one of the best meals I’ve had here (and that’s saying something)! The wild boar ragu was my favorite. I would absolutely recommend this experience. 11/10
