Close your eyes: the September air carries the scent of freshly harvested grapes, the vineyards glow with harvest colors, and Mount Catria rises in the background. Welcome to Agriturismo Il Poggio delle Favole, an authentic retreat in the Marche region, just 3 km from Cagli and minutes from Frontone, near the Frasassi caves, Urbino (UNESCO), Gola del Furlo, and medieval villages.
September is harvest time, perfect for exploring Mount Catria on foot or by motorcycle along scenic and dirt roads. In October, the woods turn golden, and from October 25th to November 15th, you can enjoy the Truffle Festival. December brings prized black truffles and Christmas markets in nearby villages, with a cozy fireplace waiting after your winter walks.
Book several nights to truly experience the area: join the saffron harvest, take a new motorcycle trail each day, return for a truffle hunt, and taste garden-fresh produce picked in the morning. A week here lets you truly discover the Marche.
Lavender is the soul of this place: it blooms every year, coloring the landscape purple, and from the artisanal harvest come floral water, essential oil, and fragrant sachets. The 19th-century farmhouse still has the family mangers. The farm is lively and generous: Marrans hens, artisanal honey, hand-picked saffron, its own vineyard, olive trees, and seasonal vegetables, all available for purchase on site.
The Olivia Room offers a king-size and a single bed, private bathroom with shower, heating, and independent entrance. Panoramic terrace overlooking Mount Catria. Pond with water lilies, car parking, and free Wi-Fi included. We are rider friendly, with secure motorcycle parking.
How to reach us: from Via Flaminia (SS3) towards Cagli, follow signs for Frontone and local signs to the Agriturismo, just minutes from the center.
