Description
For 2024 we still have availabilty for the months November/ December.
Our small organic farm and agritourism is situated above Lake Trasimeno, at 4 km distance from the quaint village of Castel Rigone. On our six hectars we mainly have olive trees and produce our own olive oil. We also grow lavender, rosemary, fragrant roses, fruit and vegetables. From April to November we rent out holiday apartments and host groups and seminars. We organize various courses (including cooking classes, dance classes and art classes). We are originally from Germany and have been running the farm in Umbria since 1998.
We speak Italian, English and German.
Internet access is available.
In general we prefer a minimum stay of two weeks, possibly longer.
Please note:
