Organic Italian hideaway
Far away from the tour buses, surrounded by beautiful, unspoilt hilltop Italian villages lies this eco friendly, organic agriturismo. The comforts of home are combined with stunning scenery, warm hospitality and some of the best dining anywhere.
The Location
Near the stunning and traditional towns of Fermignano and hilltop Urbino in Le Marche (one of the last regions in central Italy still considered to be under the radar), this organic farm is surrounded by a landscape of peaceful rolling hills.
Ancona Airport is a 1-hour drive and Rimini – Federico Fellini International Airport is also a 1-hour drive. The nearest train stations are Fano (40-min drive) and Pesaro (1-hour drive).

In 1981 the Savini family made their dream come true and acquired the farm to grow organic produce and ethically raise livestock. In 1999, Giulia’s parents opened it officially to visitors and now their retired Giulia and her partner Robert are the face of the business.
Previous guests describe the family: “Run by Giulia and her parents, the hosts are good company and helpful but also respect their guests’ privacy.”
The Savini family do such much to reduce their impact on the environment that it’s hard to keep it short, so check out their website – https://vallenuova.it/green, but key points are:
- Valle Nuova has been a fully organic farm for over 35 years
- They produce 100% of their own electricity and even sell back to the grid
- In every aspect of their business (design, materials, insulation, shopping) they aim to be as “green” as possible, with no plastic no disposable items no single use items
- This includes no straws, no plastic glasses, no individual use toiletries, no single portion jams or butter, etc and reusable shopping bags in units
