Rural Umbria, B&B in Italy

Environment

Poggiolo offers accommodation in the Villa, registered in the list of certified Italian cultural heritage palaces, with its carefully restored typical frescoes, and in 5 typical rural houses, that preserve their old characteristic.

It is part of the Consorzium Terre di Bulgarelli and of Contado di Porta Eburnea, that networks local producers and rural people to support a responsible global development of the territory based on its typical local products. They work together to preserve the territory and the environment, enhance the local landscape, mainly olive groves and vineyards, and support the conservation of local buildings to restore them and do not demolish them to build new ones.

Community

The Poggiolo farm production is certified as organic, and it grows local varieties supporting thus also the preservation of biodiversity. Among its properties, there is a wood, which is carefully maintained and not exploited to preserve and support wild life and biodiversity with dedicated projects.

Furthermore, the Poggiolo is, since 5 years, totally relying on solar power as its source of energy. It has been necessary a big investment to achieve this goal but we are very proud of contributing to preserve the environment.
