Colle Del Capitano

Congratulations to the cook Piera for the lunch that prepared us all very good, and especially for the hospitality of Saverio thanks to

We have just returned from a weekend on Umbrian soil and we cannot exempt from posting a review on the Captain's Hill. We chose this farm thanks to the advice of friends who discovered it a few years ago during their journey of San Benedetto. Great choice... kind, hospitable and very polite teachers. Great food prepared by Mrs. Piera, and served by the very kind Saverio. The location is simple, essential, clean and really cared for. Good price/quality ratio. We felt like home... thank you very much.

We walked the cammino de san benedetto and stayed here our first night! It was a beautiful spot, great room, great food, great hostess! The animals living on the place were amazing and the setting was beautiful! We hope to go there again some day.

We were impressed with the thoughtfulness of the hospitality. The food is all home produced and delicious. They go to a great deal of bother to source wild foods Which included truffles, the delicious hearts of carline thistles and gentians (in this case for liquor). But everything they take from the wild they do sustainabl. Our dogs were made very welcome. The accommodation is immaculate and at the same time suitably rural. All the farm animals are free range and a joy to be with and photograph. I could go on and on about how lovely this place is to stay.

I stayed here while walking the Camino di San Benedetto. The rooms are very modern and clean with large bathrooms and heating. I had a fabulous view over the mountains. This is a working farm with Chianina cattle, pigs, goats, sheep, geese, chickens and rabbits. Mist of the food is from the farm, including the very good prosciutto and other cured pork products and sheep and goats milk cheeses, wonderfully prepared by Piera, with nice touches, such as borage flowers in the salad. The pasta, bread and gnocchi are all made by Piera minutes before the meal, and it’s fascinating to watch it being prepared so effortlessly. Everyone eats together at a long table and when I was there we were in total about 20 people all of whom were very friendly. There are wonderful walks in the area all in GPS apps. As well as horse riding in the summer months. They are open all year round and to get here you could fly to Rome or Perugia and then hire a car, although they would collect you from Leonessa di Spoleto or Monteleone . Nothing, absolutely nothing is too much trouble for them. I will definitely be back!
