Welcome to Umbria
The family and staff of La Maestà welcome you to this wonderful region, Umbria, the green heart of Italy.
La Maestà is family-run by the owners themselves who follow the agricultural production and who have taken care of the renovation of the property down to the smallest details, providing it with comfort but preserving all the original characteristics.
Agriturismo La Maestà
La Maestà is an ancient 15th century farmhouse located in the heart of Umbria, in a panoramic area, full of historic homes and surrounded by nature.
We are in a strategic position to reach the most beautiful cities of art such as Assisi, Bevagna, Montefalco, Spello, Spoleto, Perugia, Todi and Gubbio.
Base camp for sports in nature
From here you can set off on foot for a walk or a mountain bike ride in the Olivata area. There are numerous paths for all levels of difficulty and also circular, itineraries that from La Maestà will take you to discover the hidden beauties of Umbria.
For example, a short distance from us, you can visit the Menotre Waterfalls, the hermitage of S. M. Giacobbe in Pale, the Abbey of Sassovivo, Rasiglia.
A few kilometers away, you will find rafting, tennis, quad biking, horse riding.
Trekking in the most beautiful areas of our territory
with the accompaniment of hiking guides, also in English
Purely summer walk since the entire route, round trip, will be next to the fresh stream that descends from the hamlet of S.Angelo, where it is possible to visit an ancient mill that is still open. The walk also includes the Kneipp path, in which, barefoot in the stream, you can experience the different sensations that different types of materials create under our feet. The route is completed by a Roman bridge that appears almost by chance and numerous waterfalls as a backdrop.
North of the Sibillini among clear waters
Beautiful excursion within one of the most uncontaminated places of the Sibillini Mountains National Park whose path crosses the steep walls of the Val di Fibba and Pietralalata mountains, skirting the fresh waters of the Rio Sacro between small ravines and superb views. This is the kingdom where the two symbolic animals of the Park are present: the golden eagle and the wolf.
Trekking with donkeys (or without) on the borders of the Sibillini National Park
Pleasant excursion along an easy path into the woods on the edge of the protected area of the P.N. of the Sibillini Mountains. The route will allow us to reach the centuries-old Nottoria oak, considered one of the longest-lived monumental trees in Italy due to the size and width of its foliage. From here we will continue to make the ring around Monte Mutaro and quickly return to Paganelli di Norcia, our starting point.
The charm of history
The history of Carpello, which is known precisely, takes us to the year 1216 when Saint Clare of Assisi came to this place and purchased a small piece of land near the Carpello spring. Here he built the first monastery of the Poor Clares of Foligno.
In 1849 the Pope, after having tasted the oil coming from these areas, wanted to promote the deforestation of the area above Carpello to plant tens of thousands of olive trees, which still exist today.
The beautiful majesty
The name of the farmhouse pays homage to a sacred aedicule, the “Maestà Bella“, so called due to the elegance and refinement of the fresco incorporated inside an aedicule attributable to the second half from 1400, which is located in the small village of Carpello, painted by the Foligno painter Pierantonio Mesastris, of which an inscription with an autograph signature is still visible.
