Farm-house La Posta Di Confine

Description La Posta Di Confine

The agriturismo La Posta di Confine is few kilometres away from the historic centre of Corciano, in that charming part of Umbria that stretches between Perugia and Lake Trasimeno.
The resort rises on the fringe of a secular holm-oak wood, in a large protected area that still preserves unique environmental features. A careful restoration of the buildings that rise in the hills gives a special charm to the resort. Such a work has allowed the preservation of the historical elements of an ancient building that was erected in the shape of a Tower. In the past, this building had the function of a check point, along the road that wayfarers had to cover in order to avoid the marshland of “guado” - the woad - that is the plant from which a dye for fabrics was extracted.
The Tower, which rose on the boundary between the lands subjected to the castles of Mantignana and Chiugiana, was enlarged and then incorporated in the farmhouse. Now it is an integral part of the resort.
Umbria.
Today The Farm where you may spend your holidays is devoted to the cultivation of centuries-old olive trees that cover the hill near the resort.
The cultivation is carried out on the basis of organic and certified criteria. The issue is an excellent extra-virgin olive oil that guests can taste in addition to other genuine foodstuffs as home-baked cakes and jams, all served in the breakfast common room at breakfast time. Farm holidays at La Posta di Confine are ideal for guests who like relaxing in the quietness of nature with the chance to go in for sport, visit towns and be present to cultural events.
The agriturismo takes advantage of a position that allows guests to make hiking and mountain biking in a corner of Umbria that keeps uninjuried the charm of nature and landscape.
La Posta di Confine is just 6 kilometres away from the highway Raccordo PERUGIA - A1 (exit Mantignana), so guests can easily reach Lake Trasimeno or the main historic centres of Umbria like Città di Castello, Gubbio, Assisi, Perugia, Todi, and some medieval small towns and villages, rich of artistic and historical traditions.
Among the main events and shows that occur yearly you may bear in mind Umbria Jazz, Trasimeno Blues Festival and Eurochocolate.
