Our Farm
Zafferano e dintorni is a very small farm, but very diversified in its products and activities. We grow and process apples, saffron, seasonal vegetables, and herbal remedies.
There is a place in Umbria…
In Umbria, within the splendid In Umbria, within the splendid Valnerinaregion (between Terni and Norcia, a stone’s throw away from Spoleto), among the gardens and orchards, the meadows and the saffron fields… …come find us at Zafferano e dintorni, in a country that is still blooming and unspoiled, whose economy is still rooted in farming, livestock rearing, and the production of high-quality food products, like the Cascia saffron which our farm produces.

The Valnerina
The bubbling river Nera cuts straight through the Valnerina region, an ideal place for outdoors activities like exploring the mountains on footor by bicycle, a leisurely walk with the donkeys, or downhill rafting.
Besides the Sibylline Mountains and its many plateaus, most notably the Piano Grande near Castelluccio, the many mountains and vallies of the region form an organic frame around the river that runs through them.
Rich in history and stories, culture and architecture, tales of witches and dragons, rites and saints, the Valnerina is sprinkled with picturesque little villages and medieval castles as well as Romanesque Benedictine abbeys.
180 villages and four abbeys, each with their own distinct historical, cultural and architectural identity;
some sheltered up in the mountains and kissed by the sun, others seated cozily at the bottom of the valley, caressed by the river Nera.
Experience the magic of the Valnerina! Treat someone (or yourself) to a new experience…
