I'm a food lover by nature and also a native of Abruzzo. I'm an official Tour Leader recognised by the Abruzzo Region.
I’ve been eating truffles since my mother had me in her womb, and since we live in a rich truffle area, I know the art and secrets of truffles very well. When I was 7 I trained my first truffle dog.
I'm the founder of Experience BellaVita, a company that promotes sustainable tourism experiences in the less touristic areas of Italy, in Abruzzo. I and my friend Alberto, we do together the experiences that I designed over the years. He has my same qualifications and passion for Abruzzo.

5.00Our trip to Abruzzo Italy was an ancestral visit to the towns and region where our ancestors lived. We wanted to experience firsthand the culture, geography, climate and history of the region and its surroundings. Our tour guide Marino Cardelli worked diligently to customize this experience to meet this goal. What we experience with Marino exceeded our hopes and dreams. Each day was filled with new adventure and learnings. In the towns we visited we met with local historians, dignitaries, his family and friends and experienced entry into places off the tourist trail. Without a doubt this was the most memorable trip of our lifetime. With Marino you truly experience La Bella Vita of Abruzzo and feel like part of his family. We can’t say enough about this wonderful person Marino Cardelli and highly recommend his services.

5.00Great experience truffle hunting with Marino and Jet (the dog that actually did the hunting). We learned a lot about truffles, and subsequently had a wonderful meal. The real highlight, however, was spending time with truly charming and welcoming people of Abruzzo.
Fantastic

5.00The tour by the local guides, Marino and Alberto, was very interesting and fun. We went out hunting truffles (and actually found some) with three trained and friendly dogs. The dogs belonged to our host Adamo who also is the owner of the "truffle farm" where we were hunting. Our guides and hosts were very kind, communicative and eager to answer all of our questions. Afterwards we went for a delicious dinner (9 courses i think and all with truffles :o) with local wines. Fully recommended.
A tour that felt like family

5.00Our experience with Experience BellaVita was unparalleled! The communication was superb before the event, even though we only booked the truffle hunting tour the day before. We arrived and were greeted by the cheerful and knowledgeable Marino, who, along with other guests taught us so much about truffle hunting, it’s history, and answered all our questions. The experience itself was so enjoyable with two beautiful dogs. After the search for truffle we had the opportunity to buy some local products and lunch, which both are a big must! The lunch was simply incredible! It was nothing like we have had before and after the end of the tour we felt like we were all becoming a family with other tourists and Marino, sitting at a large table and sharing glasses upon glasses of wine. This experience didn’t feel like just a tour, although it surely began that way. At the end we gained a great friend with whom we hope to cook with his Nonna for our next visit!

5.00We had a great experience with Mario. First we have a great walk in the forest nearby with the sweet dogs. Here we found several truffels, so nice. Afterwards we had a lovely dinner with a lot of good and local food, and with a lot of truffles. We also had a really good time with Mario, where we learned about the Italien culture, food and italien history. It is really recommendable.
a great cozy truffle hunt with dogs

5.00A magical moment spent with Marino, the truffle hunt was very interesting and Enessio and his dogs were great! Marino, made us discover many riches of Abruzzo, especially on typical products of the region but also the good addresses of restaurants / bars! Our experience in Abruzzo would clearly not have been the same without him, a big THANK YOU! Jimmy & Maureen
An experience to be remembered!

5.00I booked this experience knowing that my friends wife has a passion for Truffles, little did I know that hunting for Truffles in Italy was on her wish list from Twenty years ago. From the first conversation she had with Marino, she knew she was in for the experience of a lifetime. She is gluten intolerant, and Marino easily catered for her disease, it was not a problem, and I am pleased to say, that she did not suffer any side effects. As such Marino and the chef at the restaurant where we had our amazing lunch catered for her precisely. Back to the experience, our walk up the hill with Giovanino and his dogs Luna and Piccolo frantically sniffing out the Truffles was absolute pure enjoyment. The dogs just loved their day out. Whilst hunting for Truffles, Marino and Giovanino shared their knowledge (but not their secrets :-) ) of truffle hunting, this our friends wife found extremely valuable as she is growing Truffle trees back home in New Zealand. After our hunt, Marino took us on a short tour of Campli, this in itself was fascinating, in particular the Medico of spices, and the Scala Santa steps. After our tour of town it was on o our degustation lunch at Ristorante Il Tubero d’Oro where Marco presented us with truffle inspired dishes. Every course was delicious, and of course the conversation flowed with more questions and answers. I would not hesitate to recommend this experience! Marino is an outstanding host, who has an absolute passion for food, and his home town! Book the experience, and you won’t be disappointed!
Outstanding experience!

5.00I cannot speak highly enough of our experience on the truffle hunt, lunch, and tour provided to us by Marino. He is very knowledgeable and will help shape the tour to your interests. Thanks to him we have found our favorite region in Italy and can’t wait to see him on our next holiday plan!
A special truffle day

5.00My husband and I went on the truffle hunt one exciting Saturday morning, we'd never been on one before and weren't quite sure what to expect. The whole morning was exciting and fun, watching the dogs darting to find the truffles and rushing to see where they were and taking them from their mouths.We learn't so much and hope that our dog may be able to learn the technique(miracles do happen).We also went to the nearby shop and purchased some truffles to take home. After we went to a restaurant and had a super meal ,a banquet of even more truffles.Marino was great, friendly, informative and so kind. W'd suggest also going to the restaurant as it was a lovely way to end.
