The discovery of ancient
boundary stones in the fields and the old path that joins Campalli zone
to Fonterutoli hill, prove without any doubt that Cogno dale was known
and inhabited since the Etruscan age.
Since then, on the rocky
spur between the two branches of the Gena stream, human installations
followed each other up to present times, when the old houses were
restored in different periods and used as the center of Podere Cogno
farm.
The farm's particular
location, in the center of green woods and olive groves, gives the
feeling of living in ancient ages where time has stopped and has no
importance.
Our family has
undertaken further restorations, leaving the atmosphere of this
beautiful place intact, but adding all those comforts which are required
in a modern resort.
In the 30 hectares of farmland, where we produce
organic extra virgin olive oil, we have decided to receive very few
guest (at the end of our restorations, there will be room for only 20
visitors) so as to offer personal attention to each one and the comfort
of vast spaces indoors and out.
