Agriturismo I Marroni

Inside the Regional Park “Campo dei Fiori”, this Farm Holiday produces blueberries, raspberries, chestnuts and marroni. It offers staying in apartments and the possibility to spend a peaceful holiday in the nature, with total independence.

The farming, that extends on a surface of 3.5 hectares of lawn, cultivations and wood, owns three houses. The one destined to our guests is located in a central position and overlooks a wide plane from the front, the wood from the back and the little-fruit's lines from the sides.
The building, completely restored following the local tradition, with materials like wood, stones and red bricks, is divided into two apartments, both with their own access. By request, they can become communicating, creating a single house ideal for one big family or a small group of friends.
Both the apartments are completely furnished in country style and have all the tools you can need for the kitchen, for ironing and for the garden.
