 history of cogno - about us

 

 

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.
