 If you feel stressed and you need a rest in a peaceful, quiet, amusing place surrounded by fields and vineyards, not far from town and life, with the opportunity of discovering in few minutes drive wonderful minor and major artistic jewels; or you would like to attend to cultural, musical, artistic events (Umbria jazz, Festival of Spoleto, etc..); or if you want to discover folkloristic local fears; or try a delicious, tasty, varied, traditional cuisine with an incredible variety of wines... |
 Then you should come and stay in a very nice "Agriturismo" (accommodation in apartments of a country house) in the very heart of this wonderful, green, alive Italian region... The farmhouse is placed in the centre of a "D.O.C. wine" producing farm and hunting forbidden estate situated in the quite and panoramic Tiber valley, which operative hearth is the Fattoria Spinola, the owner's home. The "Estate" is about 130 hectares wide, but only 100 are cultivated (wheat, sugar beet, tobacco and 12 hectares of vineyards). |
 The grapes produced are brought to a "Wine Producer Association" where a very nice typical white wine (Grechetto) and a red doc wine (Sangiovese), are made and sold in the farmhouse. During summer time a huge organic vegetable garden, near the farmhouse, is organised for all our guest for free: all sort of vegetables, aromatic herbs (basil, parsley etc.) are cultivated without the use of chemical products: only sun, water and love! |
 The Fattoria Spinola was a nun's convent in late middle age and it was transformed during the centuries into a farmhouse and achieved with 3000 hectares, villas and houses, by the last of Spinola family's cardinal in 1850. The surroundings of the property are the Tiber river and the woods of very ancient oaks and many other typical trees and plants, where the wild animal can shelter. It is not unusual to see pheasants, hares, porcupines, quails, foxes, owls and many other local animals living undisturbed in the Estate: they are protected and respected! |
