The agriturismo
An agriturismo in the town of Gualdo Tadino, on the border between Umbria and Marche, on the SS3 Flaminia road which links Ancona to Rome.
Nestled in green hills, just a few km from small towns home to carefully preserved historic and artistic heritage, you'll find this Domus Laetitiae, a place of joy and peace. The ancient chapel dating back to 1163, the slowly flowing Rio Rasina stream, and the stables, which today have become a place for coming together and sharing, give character to this complex, evoking all the ambience of rural life.
As well as tasting homemade oil and jams, guests can purchase produce from the farm itself and other typical local delicacies. All guests receive a welcome basket on arrival, containing a selection of delicious breakfast ingredients.
The accommodation
The farm has a long family history: it was purchased in the early 1960s, along with fields, woods, and olive groves, and thanks to a strong entrepreneurial spirit and starting with a small number of cows, this family managed to realize its dream.
Santa Croce, christened "Vera Cruz," has always been the place to hold family parties, in a jovial but at the same time intimate atmosphere. It has also always been inhabited by many collaborators, all animated by a love of the land and the countryside.
Within the farmhouse there is also a consecrated little church where as early as the 13th century the feast of the Holy Cross was celebrated on May 3. Currently this feast is brought forward to May 1 to give more tourists the opportunity to take advantage of this feast day to participate. At the end of the holy mass, the parish priest blesses the crosses made from bamboo canes, lily leaves, olive palm and a piece of candle to then be placed by those who wish to do so in their garden as a sign of blessing.
The rural house consists of four apartments of varying sizes, which can accommodate from two to six people: here modern comforts are blended with the sweetness and warmth of hospitality from the past.
The 300-square-meter living room "The Barn," with use of the kitchen, fireplace and outdoor brazier, is used as a hall for holding parties and group dinners; it can accommodate up to 150 people. The kitchen, on the other hand, can accommodate up to 20/22 people.
The farmhouse has a breakfast room with kitchen use, large garden with gazebo, playground, picnic area, barbecue, excursions and guided tours, trekking, horse box and private parking.
Shaded 700-square-meterdog area with fresh water, possibility of private outdoor enclosure, possibility of educator and 6-legged walks, pet-friendly restaurants and city museum trail (6) pet friendly
For mountain bikers: trails, storage, washing equipment and minor maintenance, biker-friendly breakfasts and meals right in the apartment.
Sale of oil and organic products such as chickpeas, spelt and related flours and seasonal fruits.
At Easter, the owner prepared a typical breakfast to celebrate with her guests.
The owners' love for what they do and live is all they wish to convey to their guests, in the knowledge that they can offer moments and experiences to remember.
Activities and surrounding
The agriturismo works in partnership with restaurants, pizzerias and other local businesses, where guests can also order lunches and dinners of typical local dishes for delivery to the agriturismo (booking required) at no extra cost (service offered by “La Locandiera”).
You can enjoy tours to discover how ceramic art is produced at Spigarelli Ceramiche, a company that for years has produced pottery in wonderful shapes with the most beautiful embellishments. You can also enjoy an introduction to ceramics class too (take home what you make, minimum 4 participants).

Marinella was a great host. She went out of the way to help us find pizza at the time of our late arrival. Thank you! It was fun to communicate in our limited Italian.

Hi, my name is marinella and I am 62 years old.
The photo is of me and my husband, Mauro
I have been working here for 14 years with my husband.
As well as we welcome the guests, we are responsible for communication.
It was a desire to to meet new and interesting people all the time which led me to run an agriturismo.
According to the guests, the best thing about our agriturismo is the warm family welcome.
