Farmhouse Cà Poggio
The Cà Poggio farmhouse was created from what was once the old stable and its porch.
The structure consists of the “restaurant” area with 2 rooms, a privé and an outdoor area, where you can lunch and dine admiring a beautiful view; the accommodation part consists of 3 bedrooms with private bathrooms. In the educational farm we offer with professionalism and passion paths to introduce the agricultural world and the environment that surrounds them; as well as to bring children closer to the agricultural world so they can learn about the origin of food and work in agriculture.
There is no shortage of animals that you can visit: horses, donkey pigs, the Carolina cow, chickens, geese and rabbits… The farm covers 18ha among gullies, woods and cultivated land. TheCa’ Poggio Astronomical Observatory, is located in Sogliano al Rubicone owned by the farm of the same name. It features a fully automated 3-meter diameter ScopeDome and a control office from which to manage and operate the entire infrastructure. Inside there is a 10-inch diameter Newton optical tube with which astrophotography and research in the field of differential photometry are carried out. The observatory is registered with the Minor Planet Center under code L41. The facility offers evenings to farmhouse guests conducting visual observations with the facility’s accompanying instruments and simple and pleasant explanations regarding Planets, stars, constellations and all topics in Astronomy, Astrophysics and Cosmology news. We participate in the open farms initiative.
