Detail Offer: Farm-house Vellaneta

Description Vellaneta

The name Vellaneta derives from the word "avellane”, hazelnuts, that have been growing here from time immemorial. The estate is located in the Marche region, in the central part of Italy, very near the medieval town of Cagli, between Urbino and Gubbio, and the natural park of the Gola del Furlo. It is an oasis of peace and silence in the midst of an unspoiled nature, even during July and August, and is surrounded by cofields, sunflowers, fruit trees, an olive-garden, woodlands and beautiful winding paths that may take you for long walks. It offers a magnificent view of Monte Petrano, Monte Nerone, Monte Catria and Monte Acuto. In the old days farmers who were working the land used to live at Vellaneta. There is a country house made of natural stone, where several families were living, and a hay barn, both dating back to the 16th century: they have been beautifully restored, maintaining the characteristic style and using original materials. The total area occupies a space of 63 hectares and is situated on an altitude of 500 meters. Our agriturismo is particularly suitable for adults and families with children from 15/16 years onwards.
