Farm Holiday description
Il Casale Grande The "Azienda Agricola Ciri" is a 500 hectare farm, located in the Umbrian valley about 10 Km north of Spoleto. The owners of the farm have lovingly restructured and refurbished some of the farm buildings which were previously inhabited by share-croppers, or used for storing crops and farming equipment. Lodging is offered at "Casale Grande", one of the most spacious farm houses on the premises, built at the beginning of the XX century and housing a large farming family until the 80s. The building has been partitioned into 4 larger apartments, best suited for families or groups of friends, and 4 smaller apartments, perfect for couples. Il Casale Grande is found at the core of the farm, right in the Spoleto valley, in an area of high natural, historical and artistic interest. Our guests can relax and enjoy the peaceful atmoshpere of the countryside, or explore the surroundings by bike. Most roads are paved and level; just 2 Km away, the Clitunno springs and a long riverside bike route offer fishing and sports activities. Those interested in farming activities are welcome to visit the farm premises, including the historic "Mulino della Torre", an ancient water mill used for grains and olives. The grain mill is still being used for producing stone-ground flour, while the oil mill has been turned into a farm museum, hosting a collection of traditional farming tools and equipment belonging to the Ciri family. Guests wishing to relax at the Casale Grande will enjoy free use of an outdoor pool (15m by 6m) and a spacious garden with barbecue and bocce field and a children’s play ground. Many historic towns are easily reached from the Casale Grande: Spoleto (10 Km), Assisi (30 Km), Perugia (55 Km), Spello (25 Km), Bevagna (28 Km), Montefalco (15 Km), Todi (45 Km), Gubbio (70 Km).
