Balloon Adventures Italy S.R.L.

My teenage daughter, 11-year-old son, and I had a fabulous time with Balloon Adventures Italy on our first ever hot air balloon ride. Pilot Peter was fascinating! His experience living all over the world and his ability to fluidly go between languages was amazing (our group of 16 people needed Italian, English, and German). You could tell he has a gift for connecting with all kinds of people.

The morning we went was gorgeous and we could see the entire valley. Pilot Peter expertly guided the balloon, turning it so we could get excellent views of the vineyards and countryside. Along the way he pointed out highlights of all of the towns in the area.

We were staying in Assisi and had requested a transfer to be able to get to the balloon starting point. Our driver’s name was Massimo and we had no trouble finding him at the pick up point and he was incredibly courteous. He also dropped us off afterward at a different location where we could meet our larger pilgrimage group, which was very helpful!

We had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend Balloon Adventures Italy to anyone looking for a special way to experience the magic of Umbria!

Our first balloon ride over Umbria despite coming here for 12 years. Umbria from 4,000ft was even more impressive than we could have hoped. The whole experience was slick and immersive - Peter was a great host and professional throughout. We were lucky with weather and it was so clear. After the trip we decamped to Cantina Dionigi for an enjoyable and boozy breakfast, A truly memorable experience. It was fantastic value and should be on everyone’s bucket list.

What a wonderful way to cap off a trip to Italy. Pilot Peter did not disappoint. Highly recommend this to anyone visiting Umbria. An experience you will never forget.

A perfect addition to a stay in Umbria, even for those with vertigo. Pilot Peter was the perfect host instilling a sense of calm and safety, full of interesting information regarding the landscape and flying the balloon, and full of witty anecdotes. Our flying day was on a morning of perfect summer weather and the views of the spectacular Umbrian countryside were unforgettable. Whether it was cruising at 4000ft or the take off and landing, there was always something interesting to take in. Coming in to land over the roof tops of a village and a perfect, skilful landing made for a memorable flight. But that was not the end of it. Back at Cantina Dionigi where we first met for the flight, we were treated to a tasty breakfast and wine made from Umbria’s famous Sagrantino and Grachetto grapes from the adjoining vineyard, followed by the chance to buy the latter direct from the vineyard’s owner Roberto. Perfect way to end a fabulous morning.

My girlfriend and I stayed with Peter and we were both very grateful for the experience. Not only was the balloon ride a beautiful and fun little adventure, but because we were foolish enough not to rent a car in Umbria, Peter shuttled is too and from the train station for a fair price. During our stay, since we had no car, Peter's ground crew chief Massimo gave us a ride to old town Assisi and picked us up again after a bit of exploring. Massimo then took us into the town of Spello where he brought us to a restaurant he knew. At the restaurant we were treated to great antipasti and delicious pasta as well as many other tasty treats.

At one point I asked Massimo if he was a celebrity in Umbria because it seemed like everyone we passed knew him, and they were all delighted to see him. It makes sense that people are happy when they see him because he helped make our time in Umbria an incredibly special memory. I can't say enough good things about our experience with Balloon Adventures Italy and I will recommend it to anyone and everyone I can.

Thank you to Peter and his family, and especially to Massimo, they are truly experts in hospitality.

An awesome & magical experience with Pilot Peter and his crew. True professionals. Gentle lift-off, flight and landing. An amazing perspective across the beautiful valley towards the historic town of Assisi. I've floated in several countries, but this location and experience is truly special. Then, the amazing breakfast, with wine tasting hosted by a 4th generation wine-maker. Loved the wine, history and ambience. Is there a better experience for the dollars on the planet, I wonder? Can you spot the shadow in the photo?

The flight was fantastic, the crew was friendly and helpful, Peter was not only professional and safety-conscious as a pilot, he was also fun, entertaining and informative. The views were incredible (after all, it IS Umbria!) and the entire morning was magical: the take-off, the flight itself, the AMAZING landing, and then a beautiful breakfast and wine tasting at Dionigi. Bravi tutti!

We highly recommend Balloon Adventures Italy! It had to go down as one of the best experiences EVER! Peter is the best balloon pilot, bar none. Flying high over the beautiful Umbrian countryside is incredible and then, of course, there is the fabulous 'breakfast' at Cantina Dionigi after the flight - amazing wines to go with fabulous local food! A day to remember. If we could give it more than 5 stars, we would!

Best part of my trip to Italy! Thank you for such a fantastic time, Peter!

Wonderful experience, made more special by the breakfast and wine tasting.

Captain Peter speaks quite a few languages so can tell you all about the area which makes the flight all the more interesting.

Safety always comes first with Captain Peter, so we felt like we were in good hands from start to finish.

First, this area of Italy is amazingly beautiful. I’ve been almost everywhere in Italy and this is remarkable and way less touristy. We took a high speed clean train from Rome and it took less than two hours as we sped past postcard views. The nearby town of Bevagna is a small Medieval jewel. We happened to be there during their annual Medieval Fest and it was great. Peter even dropped us off and picked us up.

If you stay at their apartment along with ballooning you will be wowed: 360 degree views, a lovely infinity pool and rolling hills of grapes and olive trees. It is ultra clean, new and comfortable with a bedroom, kitchen/LR, and bathroom.

Ballooning itself is incredible. Peter is the pilot and his crew bring you to the launch site. Pretty quickly we were in the air and the views are stunning. The famous walled Medieval city of Assisi sits on a nearby mountain and from the balloon you get incredible views. Peter is a great experienced pilot and navigated expertly. My daughter and I loved it right down to the soft landing. After, you go for a nice Umbrian breakfast at their friends winery and are treated to a great round of food, espresso, champagne and great wine.

If I knew it was this great here I would spend more time in this area. We were only here one night but will be back. Thank you!

Yesterday, I celebrated my 41st Birthday in grand style. A special thank you to Alya and Peter for opening their home and heart to me. I enjoyed my stay, the Accommodations were most comfortable, 10✨. The Balloon Experience was beyond my imagination. The views were spectacular. The breakfast and the wines were delightful. I pray that your Business continues to flourish and be Blessed.

Thank you🤗💕🤗.

It was a truly delightful experience to observe the picturesque landscape in an adventurous manner.

The flight was amazing! But the whole experience, from the beginning till the end, was excellent. Alya is super helpful in every aspect (we stayed at their apartments and everything is new and perfect) and Peter is probably the greatest balloon pilot in the world.
The view is breathtaking and also the breakfast at the Cantine Dionigi was super appreciated. We really enjoyed our weekend here.

Wonderful experience. The flight on the smooth Hills of Umbria
is definitely one of the most incredible things to do in your life. You will also appreciate tasting of cantina Dionigi wines during your
" landed paronamic breakfast " .

Do not hesitate : just book & do it! A great adventure starring a super host named Capt. Peter.

Fantastic experience, Captain Peter and the staff were great. The breakfast at the vineyard after was great.

This was our first balloon ride and it was spectacular! Peter (the pilot) was very skilled and knowledgeable. Beautiful views!! The breakfast at Cantina Dionigi was a perfect ending to an amazing experience. Grazie mille!!

I flew with Balloon Adventures Italy last year , and I hope to fly this year again!

An amazing experience,just beautiful,after a very good breakfast with wine tasting,its just superb,they were all gentle and friendly with us and very professional.
