Outside

Nestled on top of a 482.098 m / 1581.685 feet hill over the sea level, this estate overlooks
Umbria’s countryside and wooded valleys. Umbria region is exquisite, mystical, peaceful,
and best of all, unspoiled. Centrally located, in less than two hours visitors can reach Rome
or Florence, this landlocked region of Italy is often referred to as the green heart of the
Country and it is an especially verdant region of mountains, rolling green hills, forests,
tumbling rivers, lush farming land, hiking trails, vineyards, and awe-inspiring views.
Umbria’s countryside is at its best in May, garlanded with flowers and spring green, and
blessed with weather that is already balmy.

Farm

Goats, hens, rabbits, pigeons and ducks are some of the animals that can be found in our farmhouse, located in the heart of the Estate. Our bees collect pollen throughout the Estate to produce raw honey that changes subtly in perfume and flavour depending on the flowering season. Visiting a working farm can be a wonderful family activity, as both adults and children may encounter the natural world, appreciating the compromise between human needs, animal welfare and wildlife. Within the rolling hills of the Estate rise the green foliage of the olive groves. With their massive trunks and thick leafy branches, the centuries-old olive trees dominate the extensive fields of the estate and stretch as far as the eye can see.
