Fuedo di Villa Anticaglia - Calabria

 

The farmhouse of Feudo di Villa Anticaglia was founded by Giovan Battista and Anna Marzano who enthusiastically and carefully pursued their objective to revive the facilities connected with the life in the old times. The farmhouse is located on a plateau in Calabria’s countryside and is one the oldest properties belonging to the family.
The history of the estate and its facilities is recorded in ancient registers which bear witness to their existence and hereditary transmission already in 1787. The estate has a surface area of more than three hectares and forms part of a farm with a surface area of more than sixty hectares. It includes a small hunting castle, many dependences and an old oil mill which are surrounded by orchards and century-old olive trees. The farm is then a perfect location to have a walk immersed in the different colours, smells and tastes of the ever-changing countryside. Guests can also enjoy the owners’ memories of the past and visit their small museum hosting both valuables and objects of everyday use dating back to the old times.

COMFORTS
The farmhouse offers different kinds of rooms which are all furnished in a classic style and equipped with all comforts also for differently able people.

RESTAURANT
The restaurant hosts up to 250 people and is the result of the renovation of the old cellar and barn. It features a beautiful wooden ceiling with exposed beams.
The restaurant is the ideal location for dinners, banquets and ceremonies which can take place in the large garden as well.
It serves traditional dishes which are prepared preferably with ingredients of our own production from vegetables to salumi, from cheese to wine, from citrus fruits to preserves and rosolio liqueurs.
