Walking, Hiking and Wildlife
There are trails around the mountains, Sibillini National Park and local villages, for all abilities. In early summer the fields are full of wild flowers and it’s perfect for bird-watching, where you can see golden orioles, nightingales, cuckoos, and skylarks. For those of you less inclined to move from the hammock, you can see all of these species of bird on our land, along with wild boar, deer, porcupines and foxes.
Swimming
You have the option for fresh-water swimming in the mountains at Lago di Fiastra, just 30 minutes’ drive from us. Alternatively have a dip in the warm Adriatic sea and a fabulous seafood lunch right on the edge of the beach, just 45 minutes’ drive away. From summer 2019 we will have a salt-water pool for our guests to use.
Wine Tasting and Eating
If you like food and wine, you’re really going to like it here. A lot. We have half a dozen very good wineries within a half hour drive where you can spend an afternoon tasting the wide range of reds, whites and fizz that this region has to offer. Murola, Saputi and Le Corti dei Farfensi are just three of our favourites. We’d be happy to book any tasting sessions for you, and for a small fee we’ll be your driver too, so you can really enjoy those grapes.
We love eating and we’ve made it our mission over the years to try as many local restaurants as we can, so we have a ton of recommendations. For a nation that takes its food seriously, it’s no surprise that you’re only ever about 10 minutes’ drive away from a very good restaurant.
There may be a time during your stay when you just don’t want to move. You want to sit, watch the sun set, sip a glass of something and have a bite to eat without having to drive anywhere. We’ve got that covered. Give us 24 hours’ notice, let us know if there’s anything you can’t or won’t eat and we’ll prepare dinner for you.
