Benedetta and Edoardo were incredible hosts and made the entire day feel effortless, personal, and unforgettable. The setting was beautiful, the truffle hunt was genuinely fascinating, and the food and wine were outstanding. You can tell how much care they put into what they do, and it made all the difference. We’d love to come back and do another experience with them in the future!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was hands down one of the most memorable experiences of our entire Italy trip! Benedetta and Edoardo were incredibly kind and welcoming, and every detail of the day felt authentic, thoughtful, and special. The truffle hunter Omar and his dog Paco taught us so much, and watching the adorable dog find fresh truffles in the Umbrian countryside was unforgettable. We ended the experience with truly fantastic wine and food in one of the most beautiful, romantic settings imaginable. If you’re visiting Umbria, book this experience!! It was worth every second and something we’ll be talking about for years!

Nonostante i prodotti arrivino per posta, la freschezza e la qualità sono davvero incredibili, come se fossero stati appena preparati. Ma parliamo del pezzo forte: la crema con i funghi al tartufo nero. Senza giri di parole, è in assoluto la cosa più buona che io abbia mai assaggiato! Ha una consistenza perfetta e un profumo di tartufo vero che riempie la stanza appena apri il vasetto.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The cheese making day with Umbria Farm Experience was a top highlight of our recent Italy trip. Benedetta was our lovely guide and crafted a truly magical day milking cows and using the fresh milk to make Caciotta and Ricotta cheese with Giuseppina and her daughters. If that weren’t special enough we were treated to a traditional Umbrian lunch, all with local ingredients and products from their farm store and butchery. We instantly felt like family and will never forget the hospitality we were shown during our time there. The Umbrian Farm Experience gave us a front row view to the pride and passion Umbrians have for their land, their animals, and their community. For those who want to feel the true magic of Umbria, we highly recommend letting Benedetta plan an unforgettable experience for you.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Abbiamo visitato insieme ai nostri bambini di 4 anni e mezzo e 2 anni e mezzo la fattoria Nonna Maria a Montone!esperienza positiva,accoglienza ottima. I bambini sono rimasti entusiasti e affascinati dalla mungitura e dal poter accarezzare le mucche nella stalla. Pranzo abbondante e squisito. Mio figlio è intollerante alle proteine ma nonna Maria ha avuto "premura" anche nei suoi confronti!

We had the opportunity to milk a cow and see how the ricotta was made. Our kids (ages 4-6) loved it too. The lunch afterwards was stunning; everything was delicious and handmade. Would highly recommend!

È stata una serata particolare, la Cantina La Palerna è un connubio fra una vista splendida su un bellissimo pezzetto di mondo sopra la valle di Plinio. Ottimo cibo abbinato ad un buon vino di produzione dell'azienda. Che dire tutto bellissimo. Tornerò volentieri per un' altra speciale esperienza . Stefania
