\n\t\t\t\t\tWho we are \n\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t

The Vallaccone Farm is the joint venture of two long-standing Italian hotelier families, one native to Norcia and the other from the Amalfi Coast; both with a strong dedication to high product quality and sustainability.In 2018, brothers Vincenzo and Federico Bianconi, together with Carlo and Vito Cinque, co-purchased the Vallaccone estate north of Norcia, separated from the town by the National Park of the Sibillini Mountains. The Bianconi’s father, Carlo, had always dreamed of returning this important piece of territory to its cultural and agricultural heritage. After years of neglect, an authentic tribute to the land’s original patrimony is being restored.<\/p>\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\"274bb75c-ab61-4191-b21c-0ddcfc837003\"\n\t

\n\t\t\t\t\tThe estate\n\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t

The Vallaccone Estate stretches across 136 hectares, of which 42 22 is arable land with the rest made up of centuries-old woodland that includes six truffle grounds. There are an additional 1200 square meters of buildings with a manor house, a farmhouse and a small church dating back to the 1600’s when the property belonged to the noble family of Marchesi Antici-Mattei, close relatives of the poet Giacomo Leopardi. Leopardi sometimes visited the estate, naming the beauty of the surrounding landscape “the blue mountains” because of the unique shade of color often seen during sunset. The property commands an extraordinary view of these mountains and the surrounding valley. Seen from satellite, it closely resembles the shape of a horse’s head, reinforcing the character of the terrain’s strong and wild nature.<\/p>\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\"image0\"\n\t\t\t\t\"image1\"\n\t\t\t\t\"image2\"\n\t
