My husband and I, along with our two elder boys (and girlfriends) were taking a day trip through southern Umbria when we came across Vitalonga Estate. What a find it turned out to be! It really made the highlight of our trip.
Francesco, the owner, greeted us so warmly and gave us a tour of the facilities and the cellar.

After the tour Francesco arranged a wine and food sampling for the six of us in their restaurant: we had an amazing four course meal accompanied by their Terra di Confine red. We sampled local cheeses and ham, homemade pasta and local meats. The chef told us that all the herbs, salads and fruits are grown in the estate and everything is made from scratch in the kitchen. What a treat it was indeed!

Francesco also explained that the estate comprises of a beautiful agriturismo in a restored old farmhouse surrounded by vineyards, we took a tour of the accommodation and the swimming pool and regretted not having found this place earlier!

If you want authentic Umbrian hospitality in an idyllic setting we highlyrecommend Vitalonga. Make sure you stay for Sunday lunch!!
