Cascia agriturismo: how to choose

The choice depends mainly on what is wanted from the stay: a restaurant, a pool, rooms for groups or peace and quiet.

• On-site restaurant. Casale S.Antonio has rooms, apartments and a restaurant. Agriturismo Baldassari offers organic products from the farm, a restaurant with local dishes and rooms.
• Pool and apartments. La Palombara has an infinity pool overlooking the Umbrian hills. It offers 8 rooms and apartments of various sizes, with private bathrooms; there are double, triple and quadruple rooms. Breakfast is included.

It is best to check availability and terms of stay with the property in advance. The patronal feast of Saint Rita is on 22 May, a date when beds in the area are in high demand. For those who prefer a room in town, the page B&Bs in Cascia lists the alternatives.
