Our Lavender
Our Lavender grows at an altitude of 800 meters in a south facing location. This is an ideal place for lavender to grow and blossom. At the lavender fields you can admire a stunning view. From here it’s possible to see the Fortress of Assisi and Mount Amiata in Tuscany.

"Give me odorous at sunrise a garden of beautiful flowers where I can walk undisturbed"
Walking through the lavender fields
It takes a ten-minute walk to get to our lavender field which extends over an area of 5000 square meters. We grow three main varieties of Lavender: Hybrid Lavender (Lavandin), Lavender Officinalis and Hydecote Blue. The phases of lavender’s harvest and processing are completely manual, with NO use of machines, chemical fertilizers and herbicides.
During the blossoming season, between July and August, we harvest our lavender. We then clean the lavender shelled flowers and use them to create our homemade funny lavender bags and sachets, useful to refresh the air and for moth prevention.
We obtain lavender essential oil by steam distillation. This oil is well known for its therapeutic properties such as, among others, relaxing, energizing and healing properties.
