In the heart of Umbria, only four kilometres from Deruta, reached by a road through the woods, the ANTICA FATTORIA
DEL COLLE rises on a little hill surrounded by the green of olive groves, vineyards, fields of wheat and sunflowers, with its
two stone and brick Perugian farmhouses dating from last century, which have been fully and skillfully restored.
Guests can discover the rhythms of the countryside, together with that memory of smells, tastes and mental images hidden
within each of us, only awaiting the right moment to spring to mind.
Great care has been taken to bring back to life what was once a typical farmhouse of last century, preserving its
architectural features, with its ceilings of beam and tiles, and providing furniture of the period, thus allowing guests to take
a step backward in time while enjoying all the essential comforts of modern living.
You will be welcomed by Alessandro and Anna, who will be only too happy to let you take part in farmwork if you wish to,
and will disclose to you the "secrets" of the land...
According to choice, the ANTICA FATTORIA DEL COLLE provides either rooms or mini-apartments with cooking
facilities, all of which have their own entrance, own bathroom with shower, heating and all necessary linen.
At the Fattoria, you can alternate amusement and rest (or study) with a swim in the pool on its terrace tucked between an
olive grove above and the vineyard below, play bowls or go walking or riding on mountain-bikes along the little unpaved
country roads. If you need more, there is also ping-pong, billiards. Afterwards, near our farmhouse, there is the possibility
for horse riding lovers to enjoy some riding around our country-side and if necessary take lessons.
At the table, besides tasty and genuine "classical" dishes, you can discover old regional recipes, not only Umbrian, utilizing
almost exclusively farm products, and all bearing witness to the philosophy that food should be a joy to the spirit, as well
as to the eye and stomach.
