Agriturismo Casa Faustina

Casa Faustina is a holiday farm in Umbria with apartments and swimming pool located on a green hill, surrounded by olive trees, pines, fragrant lavender and rosemary bushes at only 7 km from Assisi. Casa Faustina is an intimate place, peaceful and opened on a wonderful panorama over the Umbrian Valley.

In Casa Faustina you will experience slow living in deep contact with nature, healthy food with products from our synergistic garden, our 100% natural extra virgin olive oil. It is the ideal place for your vacation to relax and to rediscover a deep wellness into the green and quiet, most beautiful part of Umbria.

Guests are accommodated in independent apartments located in a typical stone countryhouse, Casa Faustina, and its cottage Casa Chiara. The many majestic trees that surround the two houses provide cool air and comforting shade during the hottest periods of the year.

The apartments have private entrances and garden areas and are all provided with a private bathroom and shower. The cooking facilities in each are fully equipped with a refrigerator and accessories. Casa Faustina offers accommodation in 10 apartments for a total of 30 beds. There are 2 one-room apartments, 4 two-room apartments, and 4 three-room apartments. Double or single beds are provided in each apartment.

Our vegetarian kitchen

In Casa Faustina, we have a vegetarian restaurant which holds 60 people. When the weather is lovely, outdoor dinner with panoramic view is available and during winter, the fireplace is always burning to create a warm, homey atmosphere. This service shall be requested upon booking. You can choose half board pension or occasional meals. Our fixed menus are based on typical Umbrian and Italian vegetarian specialties with an added Mediterranean flair.

The kitchen mainly uses carefully chosen local products, such as for example the pecorino sheep cheese, the lentils from Casteluccio and the spelt, seasonal products, as well as vegetables of our own production from the synergistic garden, the extra virgin olive oil and the black truffle.

A few simple acts performed in the kitchen transform meals into extraordinary feasts, such as dressing many dishes with our very own extra virgin olive oil right before serving. This simplicity helps bring out the fragrances and tastes of the high quality ingredients utilized for a healthy and natural food. We cook our meals exclusively with our extra virgin olive oil.

All of the meals are accompanied by a young and aromatic Sangiovese house wine or guests are welcome to choose from a selection of the best Umbrian wines.

Cooking lessons

Casa Faustina proposes all year long cooking lessons for children and adults, during which you will learn how to bake pizza, bread and cakes; pick vegetables from the garden to cook delicious vegetarian recipes; or learn using flowers and aromatic herbs taken from our garden.
