The full Sundowners experience: complete aperitivo in and ‘out-of-africa’ setting and atmosphere (non-alcoholic)
Tuscia is the Etruscan country of northern Lazio, the region the Romans absorbed but never fully replaced. The landscape still carries Etruscan tombs, tufa-cut roads, and a working agricultural rhythm that has continued largely unchanged for centuries. Tenuta di Paternostro is a thirty-hectare biodynamic farm inside that geography, with five suites and a maximum of ten guests at a time. The equine work, the plant-based kitchen built around the farm's own produce, and the founder-led pace are not adjacent to the agricultural identity of the place; they are the same project at the scale a working farm can sustain.
Tenuta di Paternostro harnesses the healing power of the natural world by moving its healing experiences out of the spa and into the outdoors. Their signature therapy is equine-guided learning: workshops and encounters ranging from 3 hours to 5 days, that allow guests to establish a profound connection with the estate’s horses, nurturing empathy and trust, while relieving fear and anxiety.
Enjoy treatments in a sacred olive grove or under a centenary oak tree, exploring healing experiences inspired by ancient cultural traditions and contemporary wellbeing practices.
Their healing philosophy focuses on rest, discovery and connection: connecting with the beauty of the natural world and discovering ways to find your energy, revive your spirit and rebalance body, mind and self. It’s healing with a uniquely Italian focus on the importance of beauty and the joy of exquisite food.
„Commune with horses and explore healing experiences inspired by ancient traditions in a luxury Italian farmhouse.“
Tenuta di Paternostro originally stood as an Equestrian Estate dedicated to breeding thoroughbred racehorses. Repurposing the family’s legacy, the property is now a holistic hospitality venue where horses roam freely as a wild herd, playing a central role in the healing experience of the guests. The property spans over thirty hectares and offers just five suites in its Casale, which has undergone meticulous restoration with a strong focus on architecture and design. The suites and living spaces are adorned by art and artifacts, carpets and antiques from around the world, reflecting the owner’s eclectic style and background in luxury and fashion.
As a thriving farm, Tenuta di Paternostro produces its own premium Olive Oil and boasts a flourishing vegetable and flower garden. Here meals are an Epicurean journey based on the daily offerings of nature, beautiful art-de-la-table and a shared dining experience evoking the warm and inviting atmosphere of an opulent private home. All at Tenuta di Paternostro is a tribute to nature, an immersive experience of life enjoyment with breathtaking skies and out-of-Africa sunsets.
The estate is located in the fascinating land of Tuscia, just one hour north of Rome. Named after the Etruscan Civilization, it served as an outpost for popes and aristocrats during medieval and Renaissance times, all appreciative of its lakes, forests and natural springs renowned for their healing properties. Tenuta di Paternostro is deeply embedded in the local culture, providing guests with a range of excursions to explore the food, produce, history, and culture of this unspoiled region of Italy.
