Agriturismo Cornacchino

I left the stable smiling and feeling much more confident. Before this, I was nervous about cantering and unsure I could stay balanced or move with the horse. The instructors were kind and kept reminding me to trust the horse and follow its movement. I was on a gentle horse called Mose, and at first I held tightly to the saddle. Then I tried to relax my hands and move with him instead of resisting. Mose eased into a smooth canter, and suddenly I wasn’t afraid. It felt almost like dancing together. That moment stays with me. It was the first time I understood why people fall in love with riding. I’m grateful to Mose for being so patient and calm, and to the instructors for helping me find the courage to try.

The rooms are simple, nicely furnished and pretty, and the food is to die for. What really stays with me, though, is the peace of the place. Cornacchino, its people and the sensitive horses seem to pass that serenity on to you, so a horse holiday becomes a chance to relax both mentally and physically. This was my second visit, for the Natural Western Riding + Leadership course, and it was at least as cool as my first stay, an introductory trek a few years back. Fabio is strict, but he’s a very good, experienced and knowledgeable teacher. He shared some important insights with me about riding and leadership in general. I hope I can come back one day. Thank you, Cornacchino-Team!

There’s a cozy communal living room for taking a break between activities. You can do a horsemanship course, trail ride, walk or mountain bike, and there’s even a Yoga room for your practice. The rooms are clean, comfortable and cozy. Food is excellent and plentiful, with lots of fresh local produce. The staff at I'll Cornacchiono are friendly and welcoming, and make you feel at home in the valley, surrounded by beautiful scenery.

The rooms are lovely and stay nice and cool, and the beds are comfortable. The food is so good I’m pretty sure I gained a few stone, but it was absolutely worth it. I’ve been to Cornacchino twice now, and every day I’ve spent there I’ve felt welcome and looked after. They treat you like a friend or family, which gives the place such a warm feeling. From the moment we arrive, they take such good care of us. I can’t wait to be back next year. Thanks again, everyone.
