Who we are
The history of the Cantico comes from the stories of our predecessors, all united by a common theme: 400 years of history, life, passions… 400 circles of the trunks of the school olive trees that surround it, planted by the friars who laid the first stones of the small convent, chosen because it is a special place, with a view over the lake, full of energy and close to an ancient source of water that still nourishes it today. It is from this spiritual community that the history known to us of this ancient place begins, where the Etruscans affirm its vitality and energy since much more distant times when Mount Penna, which sternly dominates the Cantico, was one of the points of passage on the road between Chiusi and Perugia, 2 of the most illustrious cities of the kingdom of the “Mystical people”.
Life in the village
Life at the Cantico reserves a set of pleasant surprises, refined touches that you can add to your stay to personalise and enrich it, pleasant activities to be enjoyed on the same estate
Farm Estate
Our 25-hectare farm specialises in the production of organic extra virgin olive oil. The centuries-old olive grove has around 1400 plants of the Frantoio, Leccino and in particular Dolce Agogia varieties, typical of Lake Trasimeno. Cold pressed, strictly immediately after harvesting, our oil has first-class organoleptic and nutritional characteristics, as well as an extremely pleasant taste. In addition to oil, we produce rotating crops in our arable fields. In addition to colouring the dishes of our restaurant, our vegetable garden is also the ideal place for our guests to personally pick organic vegetables to take home. In our “from land to plate” philosophy we have sought to combine organic production and solidarity.
