La Fattoria del Gelso
Nestled in a lush valley between two mountain ranges, la Fattoria del Gelso is an ideal place in which to experience Umbria. The home-away-from-home of Via Umbria owners Bill and Suzy Menard, this charming 18th century stone farmhouse is located just outside the village of Cannara. Though this idyllic setting amidst olive groves and fields of sunflowers offers absolute privacy, it is close to many of Italy’s most beloved artistic, cultural and culinary treasures. It makes the perfect home base for those who want to explore the surrounding region and is a beautiful retreat for relaxing in peace.
