At Tenuta di Murlo, the land is alive. Our estate is an authentic, working farm where ancient rhythms still guide each day. Olive groves shimmer under the Umbrian sun, vineyards follow the curves of the hills, and fields ripen with seasonal harvests. Animals roam peacefully in wide, fenced pastures, reminders of a rural heritage lovingly preserved. Here, every sound, scent, and color speaks of a landscape that continues to be nurtured—patiently, respectfully, and with a deep sense of belonging.
Our Animals
At Murlo, life unfolds in a quiet harmony of creatures. Horses graze along the hillsides, while goats, sheep, and donkeys wander through sunlit meadows. Around the farm, the soft bustle of chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits, and our faithful dogs brings a gentle, familiar warmth.
All around us, the nature reserve awakens with wild presence, deer in the forests, wild boar in the brush, hares and pheasants in the fields and foxes slipping through the twilight. Here, animals are not just part of the landscape, they are its living poetry.
Meet Our Bees
In the silence of our untouched valleys, thousands of tiny wings keep the rhythm of creation. Our bees move gracefully from blossom to blossom, gathering the pure essence of a land left wild and vast.
Within this pristine reserve, they craft not only golden honey, but also precious honeydew, a rare and coveted nectar born from the deep harmony between forest and sky. Here, the bees of Tenuta di Murlo are more than pollinators: they are delicate alchemists, transforming the breath of nature into something truly extraordinary.
Foraging
Wandering through Tenuta di Murlo is like walking into an ancient apothecary shaped by nature herself. The hills are rich with wild herbs and healing plants, still gathered today for teas and traditional remedies passed down through centuries.
Along the paths, brambles offer sweet blackberries, pomegranate trees glow with ruby fruit, and old, forgotten orchards reveal heirloom varieties that once nourished generations. Foraging here is not simply collecting what the land provides—it is rediscovering the quiet wisdom of a landscape that has always cared for those who listen.
Farm to Table Philosophy
At Murlo, the journey of every flavour begins just beyond your doorstep. The fields, orchards, vegetable garden, and wild hedgerows guide a culinary philosophy rooted in truth and seasonality.
At Il Caldaro, our chefs transform the day’s harvest into dishes that echo the soul of the estate, warm, elegant, and deeply tied to the rhythm of the land. In our villas, bespoke in-dining experiences bring this same philosophy home: freshly gathered herbs, garden vegetables, farm eggs, and the quiet gifts of the countryside become intimate meals crafted exclusively for you.
Here, farm to table is not a gesture, it is a living dialogue between the earth, our kitchen, and your table.
Our Farm Products
From the heart of Tenuta di Murlo come the treasures of a land cared for with devotion. Our red and rosé wines carry the warmth of Umbrian sun; our extra-virgin olive oil holds the whisper of ancient groves.
Fresh eggs, golden honey, vibrant garden vegetables, preserves made from our own fruits, and tomato passata crafted from our vegetable garden all reflect the pure, honest flavors of the estate.
These are not just products, they are small stories of the seasons, gathered and shared with the same gentleness with which they were grown.
Our Shop
Hidden within the Fattoria lies a small, enchanting boutique, a cabinet of curiosities shaped by the spirit of Murlo.
Here, the creations of local artisans sit beside our own farm’s treasures: natural cosmetics infused with estate-grown essences, handmade goods we love, flavours gathered from our fields, vegetable garden and orchards, and whatever delightful discovery the seasons bring.
It is a place to wander slowly, to touch the story of the land, and to take a piece of its magic home with you.
