Close your eyes: the morning air carries the scent of lavender, violet fields stretch before you, and Monte Catria rises in the background. Welcome to Agriturismo Il Poggio delle Favole, an authentic retreat in the Marche region, just 3 km from Cagli and a few minutes from Frontone, near the Frasassi caves, Urbino (UNESCO), the Furlo Gorge, and the medieval villages of the valley. Here, lavender is the soul of the place: it blooms every year, coloring the landscape purple. From the artisanal harvest come floral water, essential oil, and scented sachets. The farmhouse dates back to the 19th century and preserves the original family stable mangers. The farm is lively and generous: Marrans hens, artisanal honey, hand-picked lavender and saffron, a private vineyard, olive trees, and seasonal vegetables, all available for purchase on the farm. September is harvest month: among the vineyard rows, you can experience the grape harvest atmosphere. Milder temperatures are perfect for exploring the CAI trails and mule tracks of Monte Catria on foot or by motorcycle, discovering saffron harvesting and local markets. Scenic and dirt roads are also ideal for motocross. In October, enjoy the golden foliage of Catria’s woods: it’s truffle and porcini mushroom season, celebrated at autumn festivals in nearby villages. The Olivia Room offers a king-size and a single bed, private bathroom, independent entrance, and minibar. The panoramic terrace with Monte Catria view is perfect at sunset. The Rose Cottage features a gas stove, wood oven, and barbecue. Pond with water lilies, parking, and Wi-Fi included. We are rider friendly: secure motorcycle parking and dedicated hospitality for traveling bikers. Check-in from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm, check-out by 10:00 am. Bed linen and towels available for an extra fee.
