The Osteria del Tancia was built towards the end of the Middle Ages, around the 15th century. It arose in a strategic position, on the pass of Mount Tancia, the highest peak of the Sabine Mountains, at about 800 meters above sea level. For centuries, the Osteria del Tancia represented the most important stop along the Via del Tancia, which was the main connection between the Rieti basin and the Sabina Tiberina. This road was frequently traveled by merchants, shepherds who practiced transhumance, pilgrims and bandits.

Monte Pizzuto, with its 1288 metres, is the second peak of the Monti Sabini after the nearby Monte Tancia. Unlike the latter, it enjoys a much wider panoramic view. On one side on the Tiber Valley and Mount Soratte and on the other on the Central Apennines with the clearly visible massifs of Terminillo and Gran Sasso.

With a small detour from the main path you reach the cave of San Michele Arcangelo. Here you can admire the frescoes and the altar dedicated to San Michele, there is a picnic table, and nearby there are cliffs for sport climbing.

At this point immersed in the Sabine Mountains, the Gemini Valley widens to make room for the meadows of Poggio Perugino. In addition to being a pasture for cows and horses, it is the crossroads of many paths to reach the surrounding peaks.

Enchanting village in Sabina. Taking a walk in the center is already worth a visit, plus in the area it is possible to do sporting activities such as sport climbing, trekking and mountain biking.

Excellent refreshment point with a source of water and tables to take a break and admire the panorama of the Apennines. The tavern is only open on weekends or it is best to contact them in advance. The food is excellent and they sell excellent sandwiches for a packed lunch.
