Fattoria Aquilone - Self-catering apartments in Umbria
Fraz. Poggio Aquilone, 05010 San Venanzo, Perugia
Umbria,
Italia
High among the rippling hills overlooking a valley studded with woods and fields, are five cosy apartments set in a medieval hamlet. Step inside to beamed ceilings, open fireplaces and well-equipped kitchenettes. Some of the apartments have private gardens with a terraced dining space and there's a pretty pool set in the communal gardens.
Roam the vast estate, stroll down to the lake with a picnic or seek out the impressive Chianina white cattle herd. They farm organically, producing pulses, grains, olive oil and beef, all of which are served when you order lunch or dinner. A plate of umbricelli, a type of hand-rolled fat spaghetti with a ragu from their cattle, is a simple and delicious Umbrian dish.
Nearby you'll find good restaurants, Maca Muta in nearby Compignano is recommended, or stay put and try your hand at pasta and bread-making classes with Benedetta, or local wine tastings.
