Storia e curiosità

In 1986, almost as a joke, bewitched by the charm of the Sibillini and our passion for hang gliding, we devoted ourselves to hospitality. Fortunately, we found an equal passion for this work, rediscovering, and at times being deeply moved by the quality and flavours of our agro-silvo-pastoral tradition that re-evokes ancient times through the tastes upon our palates.

These products help biodiversity

The traditional agricultural practice used for growing lentils in this area is done without the use of herbicides, pesticides and chemical fertilizers. This style of farming encourages the presence of a wide variety of plant species, which generate the spectacular colourful flowers, which the Plains of Castelluccio are globally famous for. A large variety of animal species are greatly assisted by these conditions. In particular, the presence of many species of insects are necessary for other animal species, especially birds, which feed upon them. The most significant species of this environment is the partridge, a galliforme that was once widespread but whose particular type, the ‘italiaca’, has now virtually disappeared. Typically the partridge lives in environments where traditional agriculture is practiced and it has colonized the Plains of Castelluccio, although this land is located at a higher altitude than is usual for the species. Part of the Plains of Castelluccio is reserved for grazing mostly for sheep. This contributes to the maintenance of secondary grasslands and the wide variety of plant species that characterize them.
