We collect rainwater to reuse it for irrigation and for the sanitary facilities in the accommodations.

What They Say About Us

Wonderful experience... The agriturismo is beautiful, immersed in peace and silence, but close to Gubbio and convenient to all the necessary services. The mulberry trees are fantastic, poetic atmosphere out of time. Comfortable apartments, all with private gardens. The owners are extremely courteous and helpful but at the same time attentive and discreet. We felt welcomed and like family. We will definitely return!

Splendid agriturismo immersed in the tranquility of the Gubbio countryside. The property is reached via a small dirt road that gets lost in the greenery. Each apartment is named after a bird (ours was La Ghiandaia) and has a piece of garden with deck chairs and chairs available: excellent dinners and breakfasts outdoors. Large and cool apartment (a blessing in the scorching heat of August) with free wifi.
Helpful and friendly managers, recommended

Splendid place, very well-kept and clean, an oasis of peace in the sounds of nature and the scent of fruit trees; perfect welcome, kindness, smiles, prompt intervention for any need. Secluded location immersed in greenery but conveniently only five minutes by car from Gubbio. Highly recommended. I will return.

Strategic location, one km from Gubbio, we stayed three days in this splendid agriturismo, clean, well-equipped, and above all immersed in nature. Francesca welcomed us, and with her availability and kindness made our weekend even more beautiful.

Among the hills of Gubbio is set this wonderful location, from which you can enjoy a natural panorama that with its greenery conveys serenity.....but not only: very clean and comfortable apartment, the kitchen equipped with everything you need, excellent breakfast also with fresh croissants brought in the morning.
