Our Farm consists of kiwi, plum and olive orchards. One of these, which covers about 10 hectares (over 22 acres), is centered around an old stone farmhouse dating back to 1850 and its attached rural buildings. The complex has been restructured into eight one, two and three-room apartments able to accommodate from 2 to 7 people , with a large grassy area in front for relaxing and playing. The surrounding fields, which extend to the edge of the lake, are covered mostly by kiwi orchards. A 150-meter-long path cuts through the orchard and leads you directly to the quiet of the lake. There you will be welcomed by a stretch of lawn and beach equipped for bathing, where your privacy is assured by the impenetrability of the adjacent reeds. The sandy shore gradually declines into the lake, lending to a shallow area that is well-suited for swimming, even for small children. A splendid “ontano” (alder), a typical lake tree, sinks its roots directly into the shore and acts as a frame for this suggestive corner of the lake. Canoe outings along the reeds will allow you to bird watch the many species found on the lake, while sun worshipers can enjoy laying in the sun on the beach, or directly on the water on one of our “Malibu” floating beds. Upon request, we can organize informal meals directly on the beach. Homemade jams (kiwi, plum, fig, raspberry, kumquat) and breakfast sweets will cheer your stay. We also sell local fruit, oil and wine. The RESTAURANT SERVICE is also available and reserved only for the farmhouse’s guests . The dinner is served inside the ancient hamlet , owner’s residence. THE APARTMENTS The farm’s accommodations are composed of 8 individual apartments, all at the ground floor, each with a well-equipped mini-kitchen and dining area, an elegantly appointed bathroom with a shower and hairdryer, and a porch covered with open chestnut beams and terra cotta tiles that offers another table and chairs for outdoor dining.
