Our Dream Ranch
A sprawling 33-hectare sanctuary on the slopes of Monte Somma, where horses roam completely free and true equestrian harmony comes to life.
Located in Somma Vesuviana, our ranch is the realization of a lifelong dream. Spanning 33 hectares of pristine greenery with sweeping views over the Campania Plain, this is a genuine paradise that we proudly call “horse heaven.” Here, our horses are not confined; instead, they are completely free to roam, run, and graze across vast open meadows for the majority of their time, living as nature intended in herds.
While our equine partners enjoy absolute freedom across the property, the estate is also fully equipped to welcome visitors and students. We feature two dedicated training grounds, a welcoming club house, a peaceful picnic area, and comfortable paddocks and boxes designed with their utmost well-being in mind.
Monte Somma: The Ancient Volcano Rim
Monte Somma is an integral part of the Somma-Vesuvius volcanic complex and a classic example of an enclosure crater. It forms a steep, semi-circular ridge wrapping around the northern side of Vesuvius.
The rugged ridge of Monte Somma is characterized by sharp peaks locally known as “Cognoli,” while its slopes are carved by deep erosion valleys called “Lagni.” Behind Monte Somma lies the ancient caldera housing the Great Cone and the dramatic Giant Valley, which includes Hell Valley (Valle dell’Inferno) and the Horse Atrium (Atrio dei Cavalli)—all wrapped in extraordinarily rich Mediterranean vegetation.
