The Chignoni farm is located in the hills around Apecchio, approx 5 km from the main road towards Città di Castello. It enjoys a beautiful position with lovely views over lush green woods. The farm stretches for more than 200 hectares with woods and pasture.
The farm comprises three character stone houses built in the 18th century, retaining the original feel of an old fashioned country home.
- One house is occupied by the owners of the farm. They make delicious hams and fine pecorino goat's cheese. They also collect and sell truffles and other produce from the woods.
- A second house is used solely as a store room.
- The third and last house is today converted into three large apartments, with a connecting door so the house can be rented in its entirety and that way accommodate up to 22 people.
