What Travel Press have to say:

farm harvest in umbria"In the foothills of St. Francis' beloved Mount Subasio, a short distance from Assisi, this 16th-century stone farmhouse has been carefully restored by Stefano and Rebecca Bagnoli. Rebecca is a native American and originally came over to Italy to study. Stefano is an architectural land surveyor, so this was the perfect project for this young couple. A welcome basket awaits, full of goodies from the farm: wine, eggs, cheese, honey, olive oil and home-made jams. In the bathrooms Rebecca leaves her handmade soap and a little sprig of lavender. There are pigs on the farm, so they also produce ham, salami and sausages, as well as red and white wine. From the vegetable garden you may pick whatever you like - red peppers, fat tomatoes and huge lettuces. The rooms are light and airy and much of Stefano's grandmother's furniture has been used. The apartments are quite independent but guests can come together in the evening in the communal garden. You are deep in the Mount Subasio National Park."
Alastair Sawday's Special Places to Stay

"... I stayed within a natural park in a 16th-century farmhouse amid the foothills of Monte Subasio. The accommodation was part of the increasingly popular 'agritourism', in which owners of small-holdings let out rooms or apartments on their farmland.
The setting was idyllic, and you couldn't escape the host's generous offerings of home-made pasta, fresh pesto and torta al testo (flatbread filled with cheese)."
The Daily Mail, UK


"If you plan to stay for a longer stretch, try this 16th century farmhouse, on a working farm, which has recently been converted into three self-catering apartments, each of which houses 4-6 [sic] people. They offer fine views over Subasio, as well as the chance to experience rural life and purchase fresh meat, vegetables, eggs, and cheese from the premises."
