At Italy Farm Stay, you can choose from different types of rooms to fit your budget and your vacation. All of the rooms have terracotta tiles, beautifully hand-painted trees, wildlife on the walls, and wood furniture with hand-carved details. The beds are new and comfortable, so you can be assured that you will have a pleasant night's sleep during your stay.

The rooms have been recently restored and are equipped with a fan in the summer and a heating unit in the colder months. Air-conditioning is also provided for an additional cost of 5 EUR per day in the en-suite rooms. However, all of the rooms are made of limestone walls, which keep them quite cool in the summer, and air-conditioning is not necessary for most guests.

The larger rooms can accommodate up to four or five people. There is a crib available for families traveling with young children. Camping on the farm is also available for guests who are looking for a more affordable stay but who want to enjoy the tranquility and beauty of the farm. You can bring your own tent and equipment, or you can rent a tent, sleeping bag, and sleeping mat for a small fee.

The campground is in a beautiful area of the farm, close to many fruit trees and vegetables which you can pick yourself and eat for free. You will wake up each morning to a beautiful view of the mountains and the surrounding area. Included in the camping fee is the use of a new shared indoor bathroom (the bathroom is equipped with a hot shower).

Program

Relax and unwind mind, body, and soul while participating in a yoga class along the creek in the woods. Classes are suitable for people with a wide range of yoga experiences, including beginners.

During your free time, you can also participate in a wide range of affordable activities such as horseback riding, a visit to the local cheese-making shepherd, guided hikes, paragliding, Italian cooking classes, and Italian language courses.

Included excursions

The price of this holiday includes a horseback tour of the surrounding area. Explore one of the most beautiful valleys in the Abruzzi region from a horse! You will ride along a beautiful river, visit a 13th-century church ruin, and take in incredible views of an old castle and the surrounding area.

The horses are friendly and well kept, and they can accommodate beginners or people with more experience. It is possible to do a different activity. You can choose any activity like a cooking class, a Reiki treatment, or visiting the cheese-making shepherd.

Retreat location

The farm is located in the small village of Pescosolido, at the foot of the Abruzzi National Park. The area around the farm is one of the most beautiful places in Italy; mountains, waterfalls, hiking trails, lakes, wildlife, and many interesting ruins, churches, and castles are easily accessible, and the area is not filled with tourists like other parts of Italy.

The farm is close to the town of Sora (about 35,000 inhabitants), where you can eat at local restaurants, stroll along the lively main street, visit the numerous shops, cafes, and pubs, use the internet, or go to the open-air market on Thursday mornings.

The farm itself is a large property where guests can roam around, eat fresh fruit, spend time with the animals, relax in the shade of an olive tree, or hike around the trails in the beautiful forest.
