Nestled on the edge of the quaint village of Poreta, just minutes from Spoleto, Borgo della Marmotta offers a unique blend of history, nature, and understated elegance. With origins dating back to the Middle Ages, the property has been lovingly restored to preserve its authentic character and original atmosphere.

Today, the Borgo has been reimagined as a refined countryside retreat, featuring 11 rooms, 7 apartments, a swimming pool, and an on-site restaurant. The estate has remained in the hands of the Montani della Fargna family—direct descendants of the noble della Genga lineage—since the 15th century. Once the hunting lodge of Cardinal Annibale della Genga, who became Pope Leo XII in 1823, the estate still echoes with the prestige of its past.

Borgo della Marmotta is also a fully operational organic farm, producing premium monovarietal extra virgin olive oil, Umbrian truffles, artisan cheeses, and traditional legumes. Guests can enjoy guided tours of the olive mill and truffle grounds, along with tastings of the estate’s organic products. During the olive harvest in October, visitors are invited to take part in this authentic rural experience.

Thanks to its central location, the Borgo is an ideal base for exploring Umbria’s cultural treasures, including Spoleto, Foligno, Trevi, Montefalco, Spello, and Assisi. The nearby Valnerina valley offers untouched landscapes and centuries-old monasteries for those seeking tranquility and natural beauty.

The architecture of the Borgo speaks to its agricultural roots: a small central square, old stables, the olive press, granaries, and wide threshing floors evoke a bygone era of country life. Here, hospitality is grounded in a simple yet profound philosophy—making guests feel truly at home. Surrounded by history and immersed in nature, visitors are invited to slow down, reconnect, and embrace a more mindful rhythm of life.
