ACTIVITIES

OPEN AIR*
The 500 hectares of the estate offer ample possibilities for visitors to explore and enjoy the unique features of this countryside: 20 km of signposted paths invite you to take long excursions whether walking or on mountain bike, through cultivated fields, pastures populated by “chianine” cows and enchanting woods.
The estate’s lake is the ideal place to observe numerous species of birds or to practice fly fishing or spinning while attempting to catch black bass. Like the numerous pools that have been created in order to allow drinking water for the livestock, the lake is a beautiful setting at which to relax, read and pass hours of tranquillity.
