This very advantageous location offers guests a convenient place from which to visit some of the best of Italy's typical artistic centres and numerous natural and archaeological wonders.The agriturismo is operated by a skilled sommelier, who tends her own vineyard. She also cultivates seven hectares of olive orchard composed of ancient trees that produce a premium extra-virgin olive oil. As you stroll through the property, bounded in part by native forest rich in vegetation, you can explore fascinating “tufa” (volcanic stone) caves, presumably of the Etruscan period, in which it is possible to relive what were once the living and working conditions of local farmers until after the Second World War.As a guest it is possible to participate in wine and cheese tasting, techniques of winemaking and food preparation, including fruit juices, jams, preserves, cheese, pasta, bread and liquors. Also offered are courses in environmental education and medicinal and aromatic herbs.The proprietress has outdone herself in creating a productive and attractive farm and the atmosphere at Il Poggio d'Artilla is welcoming and receptive.
