Il Cucciolo is what is known in Italy as an Agriturismo or Holiday Farm. That is a working farm that has apartments to rent to vacationers. Our year long renovation in 2005-06 has preserved the Umbrian architecture of the High Valley of the Tiber so there are three stone houses and a heated swimming pool. The garden around the houses and the pool is is fenced in and separated from the fields dedicated to organic farming and to.

The 25 Hectares of the farm are divided in several areas. We have nine hectars of organic fields and use no toxic pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers. This creates a safe and healthy environment for your family. We grow organic cereals, olive trees, fruit trees like apples, pears, plums and figs, and a vegetable summer garden. We have fifteen hectars of forest which are surrounded by hundreds of other hectars of "open to the public" forest. It is an area rich of mushrooms and truffles during the right seasons. You can go bike riding, take mountainous walks, or relax by the lake. In the year 2006 we decided to host some bee hives and we are now certified to produce honey. We sell organic grains to the local market and other pruducts like jams, honey or other kind of preserves to the customers of our Holiday Farm. We have an entire hectar of fenced in field that is dedicated to dog training and other forms of canine entertainment.

We named our organic farm "Il Cucciolo"; (which means "the puppy") because we have created the most dog friendly establishment in Italy. Our specialty is creating wonderful vacations for travelers with dogs or children, but we welcome other guest as well. We are surrounded by forest and fields and our family runs the farm and lives on the site so we can be sure that our guests receive the kind of support that people who travel with pets and kids always need. To learn more about our activities with children we invite you to visit our dedicated page named Children, Sport and Group Activities.

The area dedicated to the dog is visible from the houses but it is on the other side of the white road. To learn more about all we can offer to your dog visit our page Dog Services
