The farm can be found about 2km. from the centre of Abbateggio, a characteristic village in the Majella National Park in Abruzzo. It is in a splendid panoramic position with a view that sweeps over the peaks of Majella and Morrone to those of Gran Sasso to then take in the Adriatic sea.
In the middle of the 10 hectare property of fields and oak woods, 500m. above sea level, at the foot of the Majella mountain, there are two characteristic stone farmhouses – one dating back to the late 1800’s and the other to the early 1900’s – where our guests are welcomed.
Large outdoor spaces are available for rest, relaxation or stretching legs. A few particularly suggestive areas of the property will be pointed out for reading or meditation. In other parts, it is possible to take advantage of the lack of illumination and, at night, lying in a field, admire the starry sky listening to the sounds of nature.
Guests will be guided in the discovery of the marvels of the woods and helped to recognize the numerous trees. They will be able to enjoy the beauty of flowering cyclamens and the remarkable presence of many species of wild orchids (Orchis maculate I., Orchis purpurea Hudson) and numerous other delightful wild flowers ( on Majella there are 2100 varieties of flora, a third of those present over the whole country).
With a bit of luck there is the chance of meeting up with wild animals such as wild boars, various species of deer, pheasants, owls, foxes, squirrels and, in the mountain area, numerous species of birds such as the golden eagle, goshawk, peregrine, lanner, eagle-owl and the dotterel.
The farm is also open to visitors who wish to learn the traditional methods of cultivation. Small quantities of spelt, olive oil, wine, fruit and vegetables are produced from antique, native species using only traditional methods.
