Agriturismo holidays in Umbria / Central Italy

Experience a small paradise on earth!

agriturismo italy

From your terrace you enjoy the stunning morning view over the hills of the green heart of Italy. Down in the valley you see the heavy morning fog, the sun starts to sneak through the olive trees.

Slowly life starts at Pratoverde – you hear the cow Anna lowing for food, some doggies are lolling in the morning sun and there is a smell of freshly baked cake in the air...

  farm holidays umbra


For many of our guests this agriturismo has already become a second home; natural and honest hospitality, a fantastic quietness in a wonderful landscape and lots of friendly animals give so much charme to this place. Because of the small number of beds the atmosphere is guaranteed for all of our guests.

But Pratoverde is not only the perfect destination for those who would just like to relax during their holidays; located near the most attractive towns in Umbria and not far from the Lago Trasimeno it is a perfect place of departure for day-trips. And those who want to enjoy the unique peace of this place just stay at the agriturismo and spend their day on the panoramic terrace of the holiday flat or at the pool.

For kids there is always a lot to discover at Pratoverde: there are four horses, a cow, some cats (the number is somehow always changing), some dogs, a cock and several chicken living here and at the pond also some geese and frogs!

Holidays on a farm in Italy, at one of the most beautiful spots of our planet!

We are happy to nowadays be able to offer horseback riding for our guests. At the moment, there are four horses living at the farm, who are patient to do lessons for kids or to go out for rides through the beautiful hilly countryside with good riders.

A short advice concerning the language: Luca speaks very well english, Barbara started to be quite good with it either. So the conversation is no problem at all.

You are very welcome to have dinner at the agriturismo, for 20 Euro per person Barbara prepares a very good menu (if you are interested in a dinner, just let her know it one day before).
Children up to 12 years get a discount of 20% on the price for B&B.
There is no single supplement for single travelers.
For guests in the guest rooms there is a big living room available, where breakfast is served in case of foul weather.
Luca is happy to offer riding lessons or to go on rides through the countryside with experienced riders (on request on the spot). The price per hour is 15 Euro, for longer rides the price per hour is a bit reduced.

Advice: Guests traveling together share the bathroom. If you just book one room, the bathroom is your private bathroom, because in this case the other rooms will not be rented. The hosts would like to avoid, that people who don't know each other have to share a bathroom, which might be unpleasant for the guests.

Possibility 3: Entire renting of the holiday home for up to 10 persons

For groups up to 10 persons there is the possibility to rent the complete guest area of the house plus an additional living room and a big kitchen. Details for this offer will be published on the website very soon.

Your hosts Barbara and Luca are looking forward to welcome you!

Regarding the journey:

The most convenient railway station for reaching the agriturismo is Terontola (near the Lago Trasimeno). from where we can organize a transfer to the farm.
Possible arrival airports are Perugia, Florence, Bologna and maybe Pisa or Rome.

In general we would like to note, that a car is reccomandable for a stay at the agriturismo, because it is necessary for excursions or just to go shopping. Depending on the distance we reccomend to travel with the own car.

We are at your disposal for finding the best possibility for reaching our partner in Umbria / Italy. If you wish, we can also make you an offer for flight tickets (except Low-Cost-Carriers), a rental car and travel insurances.
We are looking forward to hear from you!
