    "Weekend at the Farm"

    12/03/2015

    excellent structure destined to overnight. excellent breakfast. the restaurant expecting more treatment from farm and less commerciale.Capisco that the restaurant is also open to other public but guests of the farm should not be treated as "B" series. I find it strange that a Farm with such great wine production does not offer the possibility of buying wine in bulk or in packages of at least 10 / 25lt.

    "Take the cooking class!"

    10/14/2014

    Not only were the grounds unbelievable, the breakfast was out of this world. There are a ton of activities to do, we chose the cooking class and we're not disappointed. Cooking with Nonna (Victoria) in the kitchen was great making fresh pasta. Highly recommend this farm for everyone.

Hi, I am Faye Lottero and I am 44 years old.

The photo is of me and my husband, Dimitri

I have been managing Fattoria Lavacchio since 1997 along with my husband.

As well as we are responsible for communication, we take care of the crops, we run the courses.

I decided to manage an agriturismo because to live in nature

According to the guests, the best thing about our agriturismo is the warm family welcome.
