Seventy hectares of peace. And silence.
This is probably the best description we can give you of our Farmhouse. No noise, no traffic, no view on E45 (the only road you will see is the one to get by us), no buildings nearby, no GMO fields, nothing ….! A broad valley straddling a stream full of forests, olive groves, pastures and crops organically grown, a shepherd is handling his sheep on the other side of the valley. And the night has its charm too: the lights of Castel Rigone in the distance, a few scattered huts with only a courtesy lamp for travelers and the stars above your head; here in Preggio you can really understand why they call it the “Milky Way” (when was the last time you saw it?). If you want we can even turn off all of our lights to let you appreciate it better.
No rush, no “entertainment” nor “animation” activities (gulp!), few people, a lot of relax and healthy country living. If you want to stretch your legs a little please enjoy our swimmingpool reserved to our guests only, or take a walk on one of the paths running up and down the valley. And if you are willing to “move your car” then you really have a wide range of possible choices, the whole Umbria is easily accessible from Preggio, even with a hike of a few hours. We try our best to keep an updated list of the many events taking place in and around Preggio so you can know in advance what to see and what to participate in.
We do not like crowded places and for this we wanted to limit the number of rooms and suites that we offer to our guests because each one has to be unique, charming and with a good dose of privacy. Have a look at the featurs of our Superior Room or Suite or GrandeSuite. For a spaghetti or a steak with friends there’s always the little square under the nut tree!
On request we arrange cooking classes for the preparation of the same dishes we offer in our restaurant, and we can also show you other fine restaurants nearby to taste different flavors and enjoy other specialties.
Throughout the farm, and then Farmhouse included, there is a courteous but firm “No Smoking” policy. Nothing personal, we are aware that there are things far more harmful than smoke, but the point is that the smell of smoke in the rooms .. uh, well .. remains. And burned cigarettes, scattered in the lawn around the swimming pool, remain too. And both, smell and cigarettes remain for much longer than you think. So please consider, before booking, that if smokinge is a pleasure you don’t want to renounce to, maybe we are not the place for you.
Obviously we’re a Farm before being an “Agriturismo”, so please have a look at our production and at our products for sale in our shop.
