Agriturismo Cascina Papaveri 'The Poppy Farmhouse' offers guests the possibility of taking both Pilates and Italian cooking courses in a unique double activity vacation. Guests can elect on a daily basis to take one, or both activities, or skip a session and just chill out and enjoy the great facilities.
The Agriturismo has been remodelled around an old Piemontese farmhouse set within it's own certified organic vineyard and kitchen gardens in the most stunning 'eagles nest' location overlooking hilltop villages and vineyard covered hills and valleys in Southern Piemonte North West Italy.
Welcome to Agriturismo Cascina Papaveri
Until you see the location and views for yourself it is difficult to fully capture the amazing panoramas and sense of peace and tranquility that makes Cascina Papaveri so special. Video clips and images on this website attempt to show the impossible.
