Where do I begin to sing the praises of Agritourismo Castello di Pupaggi when words will never be enough? Family owned and operated, Castello di Pupaggi is in the beautiful countryside of the Umbria region of Italy, two hours northeast of Rome. Agritourismo is a combination of tourism and agriculture manifesting as a working farm and a hotel, resort, castle, bed & breakfast etc. Castello di Pupaggi is an ideal setting located in the beautiful italian countryside. While there, we had the most magical time! Due to the easter holiday we happened to be the ONLY guests. Italians take Easter very seriously and most people are celebrating at home. Due to this, we had the service of the owner, Adolpho, all to ourselves! It was as if we had rented the whole place to ourselves! Adolpho cooked a gourmet meal for us each night. All ingredients were straight from their farm too! We even had wild boar that they had caught! One morning Adolpho took us out truffle hunting with his two dogs and another day we took a tour of his farm and met all the animals! I urge anyone who needs peace and natural beauty in their lives to visit. Adolpho and his family are warm, kind and have a great sense of humor! You will not be disappointed! Another plus is how central Puppagi is located in Umbria. Close to UNESCO world heritage site Assisi, Norcia, Peruggia, spoleto and Castelluccio - all are within an hour drive. You will enjoy the scenic drive and remember it all your life!
If you are considering an Italian vacation, please consider Castello di Pupaggi. It may be off the beaten track, but it will be a trip to remember!
