Casale La Fornace  

Tucked into the peaceful Umbrian hills of Monte Cucco Natural Park, just a short drive from the village of Costacciaro. Close enough for day trips to Gubbio (about 20 km), the Grotte di Frasassi caves (≈40 km) and Assisi (≈58 km); Perugia Airport is roughly a 45-minute drive.

A 19th-century farmhouse renovated with its original architecture intact, set in a large garden dotted with firs, cedars, pines, walnuts and cypress. Rooms are simple and functional — standard doubles/twins and a family-friendly ground-floor unit with two bedrooms that sleeps up to four. Warm common spaces include a hall with a large fireplace for reading or lingering with friends. The property sits around 500 metres altitude by the Chiascio river; renting a car is recommended to get the most out of the surroundings.

Seasonal outdoor pool with a sun-drenched solarium, a large garden and an organic vegetable plot that supplies fresh produce. Outdoor lovers can enjoy horseback rides through woods and rivers, plus hiking, Nordic walking and cycling right from the doorstep. Reception operates at set times, there’s a free unattended car park, and free Wi‑Fi is available in common areas.

Free Wi‑Fi in common areas and a free parking zone make short stays and remote check-ins easy.

Start with a hearty continental breakfast buffet featuring local products and homemade cakes. On-site restaurant and bar serve meals made with genuine, garden-grown ingredients — expect authentic Umbrian flavours from vegetables like zucchini, tomatoes, aubergines and seasonal berries. Note: beverages and extra drinks may not be included with meals.
