Set in the green heart of Umbria, among the gentle hills around Spoleto, Casale Fusco is a family-run working farm that has opened its doors to guests looking to slow down. This yoga and wellness stay pairs lessons with a local instructor with quiet days on the farm, surrounded by centuries-old olive groves and open countryside where the main sound is nature itself.

The farmhouse is a restored old country house that keeps its traditional architecture, with stone, wood and natural materials that sit easily in the landscape. Rooms look out over olive groves and vineyards towards the Monti Martani, Monte Serano, Coscerno and the Sibillini mountains, so you wake up to a different kind of view.

Between sessions, the panoramic pool overlooks the Umbrian hills and is surrounded by sunbeds, shade and wide green lawns. You can walk among the olive trees, read in a shaded corner of the garden, or simply watch the sunset colour the sky over the valley.

Food is a big part of the stay. The farm's own restaurant cooks traditional Umbrian recipes with km-zero ingredients straight from the farm: its own extra virgin olive oil, wine, artisanal jams and carefully chosen seasonal produce.

If you'd like to add more to your stay, the farm also offers Italian cooking classes with its cook, horse riding on the rural trails nearby, truffle hunting on the estate, and guided visits to Spoleto and the rest of Umbria.
