 The Farm House Le Cinciallegre is located on the hilltop northwest of Gubbio and for his position and surroundings can really give you the chance to discover a new way of life.
Le Cinciallegre is a small hamlet the origins of which date back to early 13th century. It is located at an ancient crossroads, once the meeting place of local populations who gathered there to buy and sell wheat and other harvest products.
In this delightful natural environment, 640 meters above sea level, overlooking the valley, guests can pass a relaxing week-end, or an entire vacation. The farmhouses making up the hamlet have been beautifully restored, absolutely in keeping with the traditional rural architecture of Umbria.
Peaceful walks along trails through thick oak forest, still wonderfully intact, provide the occasional encounter whit deer, pheasant, porcupine, hare and an infinite number of other pleasant surprises still up the sleeve of Mother Nature, despite man’s stubborn destructiveness. And all of this is just a sample of what Le Cinciallegre offers.
At Le Cinciallegre, the concept of "vacation" has been radically transformed. There, guests put at their ease in a friendly, homey atmosphere tailored to human needs, rediscover the charm of pleasant company and come back into contact with themselves. Sunk deeply in comfortable armchairs before a cozy fire, the usual daily routine often made up of frantically running around in circles in the name of empty values, is shaken off back into contact with themselves.
After dinner guests gather in an elegant, antique-furnished sitting room round the fireside,and feeling completely relaxed, sample rosolios and ratafias, specialties produced by Le Cinciallegre according to ancient recipes.
