La fonte is a working farm with livestock, covering 16 hectares. The land is divided between seasonal crops (cereals, vegetables), olive groves and vineyards. You can buy Montepulciano d'Abruzzo and Trebbiano d'Abruzzo wine, as well as "Pagliare" extra virgin olive oil, which is produced on the farm in the small, exclusive area of Pagliare. The livestock includes poultry and other farmyard animals, pigs and sheep. The farm's crops and animal products are the basis of our cooking. In the indoor dining room or on the veranda, our guests can enjoy tasty dishes from Abruzzo's cuisine, taste the best wines of the region and take in the beauty of the mountain landscape at the same time.

Around Collepietro

In Europe's greenest region, one of the most beautiful and least-known areas is the Abruzzo aquilano. It is a small territory between two vast parks, a place of peace and quiet. It suits anyone who wants to spend some time away from the chaos of big cities and return to a life close to nature.

In the surrounding area, curious travellers can visit monuments of great historical and artistic interest. These include the churches of San Pellegrino and Santa Maria Assunta in Bominaco (12th-13th century), the church of San Pelino in Corfinio (13th century) and the church of San Pietro ad Oratorium (12th century), a living centre of faith that appears as if by magic among the dense vegetation of the Tirino Valley.
