Tenuta San Felice

Surrounded of mulberry and olive trees and close to the most popular medieval castles of Umbria (which is also called the green heart of Italy), the “Tenuta San Felice” is more than just a farm. Since 2001 the families Volpi and Metelli manage the farm, which was neglected for many decades. Today our guests have the opportunity to stay in an absolutely authentic farm, specialized in the production of a high quality organic olive oil.

The holiday farm, which was before the tenant farmer house, has rooms and flats with different sizes; eachone has a fridge, TV and bathroom. The tourist facility is completely furnished.

The guests have the opportunity to taste the traditional breakfast „della Nonna“ (by Grandmother Art) with hand made cakes, Ricotta (when available), marmalade and drinks. According to our Philosophy we only serve fresh products from our own production.

In summer we offer our guests the possibility to use the swimming pool, located in a completely relaxed athmosphere. The children have the chance to make new friends at the small playground close to the pool.
