Casale Fonte Pergolla has a long story just waiting to be told.
The Casale was built as a peasant residence in the early 1800s.
Then, until it was abandoned in the 1950s, it hosted a small rural mountain community.
The original wooden beam ceiling from the 1800s is still visible today in the structure of the Casale.
A careful consolidation work has brought it back to its former beauty.
The place where are now the suites, on the ground floor, were once the old stables.
The barn was also very large because there was the need of huge rooms to cope with the long Umbrian winters.
It corresponds to what is now the large kitchen on the ground floor, including the living room and Studio.
But the incredible story of Casale Fonte Pergolla is not over yet.
It was the spirit of connection with Mother Earth that attracted these kids.
The great spiritual charge of the place as well as the isolation of the Casale were the perfect characteristics.
Probably what attracted them was also the intense and sparkling artistic life of Umbria in the 70s, which was already filled with Jazz during the Umbria Jazz Music Festival or with alternative music during the Waofestival.
These Festivals still take place every year.
After the experience of the Commune, the Casale experienced thirty years of abandonment, during which nature took back its spaces.
After being the right place for boys and girls of the counterculture, today its rooms have come back to life, after a careful, widespread, meticulous restoration that began in 2020.
In fact, the stories of the older inhabitants of the place have revealed how, between the years 1968 and 1979, a small community of young hippies settled there.
The community has grown over time, adding new arrivals and some unexpected births, and it seems that in some periods there have been more than thirty inhabitants in the Countryhouse.
Casale Fonte Pergolla has now started to live again always remaining faithful to its history and its values: being away from noise and close to the sounds of nature.
