Our History
Hi, I'm Monica, the owner of Tenuta Capitolini. I am happy to share with you this corner of paradise that belonged to my beloved grandmother Arnalda. The farmhouse was first built by her grandfather Nicodemo Damiani in the year 1875. My grandmother always told me stories about her life in this little hidden place, made of sacrifices and hard work, not having any comfort or wellness.... a humble but special life. Her magic words were full love for nature, for simple and genuine things
I always felt the history of this land was calling me, talking about me and waiting for me. Every time the landscape enters your eyes and surprises you .. it always has something to tell you, you can breathe it, you feel the scents, the sounds and the heart beats strongly swollen with emotions, time stops and you explore yourself. An authentic poem, difficult to tell but beautiful to live. A feeling of peace that lifts your mood and comforts you with a sweet caress ... because here everything is love and passion for life. So it all started, the desire to do good and healthy things, our extra virgin olive oil and the desire to introduce you to this special place, with the help of my family, my husband Marco and our daughters Azzurra and Virginia.
The estate is situated in Collelungo, a medieval village (XII century) between San Venanzo and Marsciano. It offers a view over the middle valley of the Tiber and is in a strategic position to visit the many historic cities of Umbria: Todi, Perugia, Orvieto, Spello Norcia, Gubbio Deruta, Terni, Assisi or Spoleto.
In total we offer three charming apartments. All of them are independent, spacious, comfortable, well equipped and carefully furnished. In each apartment you can cook in the fully equipped kitchen. The proximity of shops and local restaurants in the towns around the farmhouse will allow you to taste the typical products of the culinary tradition of Umbria. It is an ideal place for relaxing strolls along the paths near the grove, where you can admire the hidden beauties of nature.
The farmhouse is child-friendly, featuring a playground waiting for the little ones to spend unforgettable hours in absolute freedom.
We look forward to your stay.
