OLIVE FARM AND AGRITURISMO HELP

In August of 2019 Jo and I stumbled on what would become our new home, a property with 360-degree views of the Umbrian countryside and the ancient town of Orvieto. The old Podere and now Agritourismo is nestled in 6 hectares of young organic olive trees, some 1220 in total. It is situated 500 mtrs above sea level on a hillside between Benano and Viceno and consists of a large old farm building where we live and four newly refurbished 2 bedroomed houses named Casa Isla, Casa Eva Casa Lila and Angolo Rose.
The Organic Olive farm is a full time project for us with at least three more years of refurbishment and development. As well as this we have the annual Olive harvest in late October November and the day to day tasks of wood chopping, gardening and cleaning.
