The farm is home to around 20 horses, including Italian Maremmano and Murgese breeds, as well as German, Dutch, French, Anglo-Arab, and crossbreeds. The horses range in size from 160 to 170 cm (15hh to 17hh), and there are also smaller horses and ponies available for children. All horses live year-round in herds on large open fields surrounding the castle and are personally bought and trained by the owner, ensuring they are well cared for and well suited to trail riding.

Riding experiences are tailored to the level of each participant. Beginners can enjoy slower-paced rides through beautiful countryside, while more experienced riders will have the chance to explore faster canters and more dynamic terrain on forward-going, responsive horses. Chaps and helmets are available for beginners to borrow. There is a weight limit of 90 kg (200 lb) for all riders.

Please note that during the hot months of July and August, the full-day ride is replaced with two shorter half-day rides to ensure the well-being of both horses and riders.

ACCOMMODATION:

The accommodation is located within a historic estate full of character and significance. The castle, once the residence of a cardinal and temporary home to the Vatican’s treasure during the 1848 revolution, now serves as the private country residence of Count Antonio and his family. Much of the castle has been carefully preserved and is open to visitors as a museum.

Just below the castle, the family has restored a 19th-century farmhouse, thoughtfully converted into a charming hotel with an adjoining restaurant and bar. It offers fourteen comfortable double and twin ensuite rooms, each combining rustic charm with modern comforts in keeping with the estate's style.

A short distance from the castle is the ancient village, which once formed the heart of the estate's agricultural operations. The former farm buildings have been transformed into a welcoming complex of well-appointed apartments, furnished with antiques primarily sourced from the castle itself.

The main swimming pool, located beneath a scenic terrace with a gazebo, measures 6.50 x 16 meters. Nearby is a 2 x 2 meter children's pool. A second pool, measuring 8.50 x 4 meters, is available exclusively to guests staying in the Marta and Capodimonte cottages. Wooden loungers are provided for relaxing in the sun.

The pools are open from 1 June to 30 September.

Single Supplement: If you are traveling alone and no roommate is available, a single supplement fee applies.
