While finishing our doctorate degrees in agriculture, Adolfo and I decided to start our own farm. So we bought 50 hectares of abandoned, steep, rocky fields with the ruins of a 15th century farmhouse, near the village that Adolfo's family comes from, and named it Località il Piano! Since 2003 we renovated the old farmhouse in the typical Umbrian style and turned the land into a working organic farm with more than 1,300 varieties of fruit in the orchards, olive groves and vineyards, with a large market vegetable garden, herbs and animals at pasture. If you want to see what farm life is like, how we make our own cheeses from mozzarella to gorgonzola, and to taste unusual fruit and vegetable varieties, come to Località il Piano! Here you can 'switch off' in our green organic fields and quiet woods. You can help us on the farm, or discover the history and life of Spoleto, Assisi, Perugia, Norcia and other wonders of Umbria. We welcome all guests who are interested in staying on a real farm, walking in the mountains, enjoying fresh air and quiet... those who like the peace of the countryside!

This is a working organic farm which hosts students and volunteers as well as paying guests. Our focus is teaching and learning about hands-on sustainable food production. So, if you want, you may join us and support us in our work on the farm. You can milk the cows with us, pick fruit or olives, or go picking edible wild herbs. When there is space and time, we will be happy to share our knowledge and experience with you. But you don't have to do anything at all, just simply relax in the shade of the trees and overlook the surrounding hills. You can also wander around the area or sit on the bank of the Nera River. Our sparsely inhabited valley is a great place to hike and explore. There is excellent hiking and mountain biking nearby on marked trails, as well as quiet green space available for guest relaxation and picnicking. Many guests also explore Spoleto, which is very culturally active and has a lot of interesting features like Roman ruins, 14th-century castle, and an ancient bridge-aquaduct. We're also within easy day-trip distance of Assisi, Norcia, Perugia, and Rome. We recommend Spoleto's summer music-theater-arts festival events (Festival dei Due Mondi) in June – July (https://www.festivaldispoleto.com/en/). If you want more tips, don't hesitate to ask us, we'll be happy to help you.

What’s there for children?

Go to photo editor Photo edit

This is an excellent place for children! They can run and play fairly freely, as the road ends here and there is no car traffic. Exploration of our fields and orchards and woods is encouraged. Children (accompanied by parents) may come along at chore time, when we milk the cow, feed the pigs, take the sheep to pasture, collect the eggs, etc. A treehouse is available for older children. There is a shallow section of the river where kids can safely wade. We have some toys available for younger children, and on request can loan books.

How do I get there?

Icon Car

Our address: Località il Piano, 1, Vallo di Nera, Umbria, Italy

Google Maps will bring you here very precisely, if you search "Località il Piano, Vallo di Nera". We are located on a gravel road between the villages of Paterno and Piedipaterno, in the county of Vallo di Nera. The road can be challenging for timid drivers and low, long, weak-motored cars. SUVs are perfect but almost all cars and all drivers will be fine. Contact us if concerned and we can tell you how your kind of car will do.
