Our
spacious farmhouse (Casale, in Italian) is deep in the
countryside, along a road that leads to the highest
mountains in Umbria. It is only one kilometer from the
town of Norcia, in the land where Saint Benedict was
born.
The landscape around us is a series of valleys,
rivers and ancient roads that crossed the Apennine mountains
between Umbria and the Marche region. Our land is rich
in art, history, culture and traditions that make a
visit here a unique experience. It is a perfect base
for visiting many of Italy's most beautiful towns. Nearby
are unspoiled medieval villages.

|  We’re
located in the National Park of the Sibillini Mountains,
a 70,000-hectare nature reserve with peaks of over 2,000
meters, unspoiled valleys and fascinating limestone karst
highlands.
Well-maintained
trails pass through beech woods and pasture lands where
wolves, wildcats, wild goats, eagles and peregine falcons
live.
The
restaurant of the farmhouse “La
Cucina del Casale” is furnished in
country style and heated by a big fire-place. To our guests
we propose the simple and tasty plates of the house kitchen.
Recipes of the tradition take the tastes of our mountains.
To realize our dishes we use the products which the surrounding
territory offers us.
The pulses and the vegetableses are of our biological
production as big part of the meat, the both summer and
winter truffles are bought by local “cavatori”
while the various kinds of salami and the cheeses are
selected by the best artisans of the place. When available
you will be able to find very fresh trout and crayfishes
of the river Nera.
Exclusively organic farming
is practiced on the ten hectares belonging to the Casale.
No harmful substances are used, so that quality products
are obtained without damaging the environment.
The entire production of Casale
nel Parco dei Monti Sibillini is certified by ICEA (Istituto
per la Certificazione Etica e
Ambientale).
