The farm, built in 1938 and recently restored, is set in a fruit orchard with many rare varieties of apples and pears. The farm is in the shadow of the wonderful church of Santa Maria Bressanoro.
The colours, taste and perfumes within the walls of the farm change with the changing seasons. In spring there is the blossom, late summer the fruit and in autumn the colours of falling leaves.
The farm is situated in Castelleone, 2 km north of the centre of town, near the beautiful 15th century church of Santa Maria Bressanoro. The farm area was used as the kitchen garden of the Franciscan monks until 1810.
