Soc. Agr. Sorelle Zappelli Cardarelli s.s., Story

The “Sorelle Zappelli Cardarelli’s Farm” is run by three sisters Maria, Alessandra, and Sara, and it is situated in the hills of Trevi surrounded by olive trees, in the centre of Umbria, green heart of Italy.The main activity of the 50ha farm is the production of extra virgin olive oil in 15 ha of olive trees cultivated according to organic methods, which excludes chemically produced fertilizers and pesticides. Another important activity is the production of wheat, sunflowers, barley, alfalfa but also lumber (from the wood of the farm). The 50,00 ha farm produces also cereals, forage, vegetables, fruit and lumber.The cultivation of olive trees has been a tradition of the family for many centuries and “l’Antico Frantoio dei Cardarelli” is a testimony of it; it is an oil mill built in 1700, unique in its way, with a big millstone and four wood presses. Well kept and situated in the same place where it was constructed, the oil mill is nowadays a family museum. Visits have to be booked in advance. In the small “borghetto”, core of the farm there is the “Agriturismo I Mandorli”, a farm holiday which takes its name by the big almond trees which give shade to the small gardens and stretch out their old branches to the windows, offering a fantastic view during the blossoming (February- March).The Agriturismo is composed by rooms and apartments restored using old fashioned materials respecting the original structure and guaranteeing the greatest comfort required by the everyday life.There is also a swimming pool among olive trees and a park fitted out for children. Everything has been constructed to host those who want to relax, live the emotion of the countryside, stay in contact with nature but also be close to the most important historical, cultural and interested places of our region.Autumn is the best moment to come to our farm seeing the harvest and the processing of olives to make extra virgin olive oil but also getting in contact with the
