Description:
Il Cucciolo is a 25 hectare organic farm with four stone houses on top of an Umbrian hill. The space available for rent is divided in two two independent houses and three apartments of different sizes with incredible views of two Medieval Castles. All combined, the space can accomodate a party of up to 20 guests: couples looking for a romantic get away and families of various sizes.
Close to the houses is a (36' x 18') swimming pool with a jacuzzi area. Outside of the houses compound there is a fenced in garden, its three terraces connected by stone staircases and resting areas. In the property forest there is a lake and many areas to explore. It is a Paradise for mushroom and truffle hunters. There are white roads and trails to go hiking and adventuring on foot or on complementary mountain bicycles. The agricultural fields are farmed organically with wheat or sunflowers and an organic garden provides different products in different seasons.
The owners come from New York and they have been living in the farm for the last three years. English and Italian are spoken fluently. Breakfast, special meals for event or holidays, cooking classes, or special care for people traveling with their dogs (thanks to the dog trainer Breon O'Farrell) are among many services that Il Cucciolo can offer to its guests.
The houses and apartments are spacious (one or two bedrooms with bathrooms, kitchen and big ligģving rooms) and finely furnished. The prices are based on a price per person per day of 30,00/40,00 EURO depending on the season. Based on that the minimum price per day is 80,00 Euro and the maximum price is 180,00 Euro. The minimum weekly price is 400,00 EURO and the maximum is 900,00 EURO. If groups or families desire to rent the total space it is possible to get a group discount of 15% on the daily prices or 20% on the weekly prices. In the winter, depending on the weather the fuel cost for eating can be added.
Breakfast can be served in a common space called the LIMONAIA for an extra cost of 5,00 EURO per person.
