Our guest consistently say that our swimming pool is truly stunning!
We have a very large south facing swimming pool that has uninterrupted views of the Apennine mountains. The south side of the pool is on the edge of a steep hillside, which gives the feeling you are swimming off into the countryside...
Our pool is a very Olympian 16m x 8m and is 1.4 m in depth throughout and has roman steps that are perfect for relaxing on and taking in the views.
There are several large terraces with a range of pool furniture, and a covered loggia that beautifully shades the east end of the terrace. The pool is south facing and set into the hillside, in a sheltered location with excellent views of the surrounding area.
There is a shaded paddling pool with toys for small children and babies. (The pool area is fully fenced)
The pool is normally open from May through to the end of September.
TERRACES
All accommodation has its own private terrace with shade, furniture and a gas barbeque grill. The larger terraces also have sun loungers.
The east terrace is a large sunken terrace, surrounded by flowers and has been specially designed for group celebrations. The terrace is shaded by a wooden pergola, there are handmade wooden seats and tables and fantastic views to the south and east. The east terrace comfortably seats 30 for celebration meals and special events. The terrace is the perfect location for an informal candle-lit supper followed by an evening of star gazing or it can be transformed into a magical candle-lined, intimate outdoor restaurant for a gourmet celebration.
There are 20 acres of farm, woodland and countryside to enjoy while staying with us. The unspoilt countryside is abundant with wildlife. Deer, wild boar, porcupines, hares, eagles, lizards and a wide variety of birds frequently roam the land. We are in a rural setting. In the summer, you can expect to see lizards and small harmless scorpions basking in the sun on your terrace.
There are various view points set in remote corners of the land, where there is secluded seating, so you can paint, bird watch or simply drink in the stunning views!
In season there are organic gardens growing a range of vegetables such as artichokes, rocket, basil, peppers, aubergines, courgettes, green beans, pumpkins and squashes.
There mature grounds planted with a range of fragrant herbs such as thyme, lemon thyme, wild rosemary, bay, sage, purple sage, marjoram, mint, borage and basil.
The farm has over 350 olive trees, some as old as 400 years. We produce a small amount of delicious extra virgin oil each year. The olives are harvested by hand and single pressed to produce a spicy fresh vibrant 100% natural oil.
We also have over 400 organic raspberry plants - delicious fresh fruit is available from May to September and delicious homemade jam and sorbet is available all year round.
There are two enormous fig trees on the land - if you are lucky enough to be here in September, you can have the joy of sampling our delicious black figs - they are sweet and succulent...
