Our First-Hand Experience

Breathtaking beauty met us everywhere we visited from the Italian Alps to the gently rolling hills.  Touring Italy has been a favorite for our family for many many years.  You can imagine our excitement when we discovered we could combine hunting on private lands with off the beaten path touring.  One property that stood our in our minds was in Umbria, next door to Tuscany.  As we walked the 10,000 acre private property watching Roe deer and wild hogs in the meadows we were stunned by the beauty of gently rolling hills.  To top that off, the private family castle located on the property was made available just for us!  The castle is where guests enjoy private dinners and/or cooking classes following their day of hunting.  This is a custom vacation worthy of repeated visits.  We enjoyed that we could hunt in the morning, tour in the day and then be back at it in the evening followed by a delicious classic Italian dinner in the evening.  A home run!!!

Italian Pheasant Hunt

Known for its hilly terrain and diverse drives, our Italian pheasant hunt promises an unforgettable shoot. With up to three shooting days available, each drive is conveniently located within a short distance from the villa. Expect a typical day to consist of four drives accommodating 8 to 10 shooters per line, accompanied by personal loaders, culminating in an expected bag of 400 pheasants. Beyond the exhilarating bird hunt, bask in the exclusive, luxurious ambiance of the 18th-century Italian villa, where handcrafted pasta, artisanal cheeses, and delectable wines await.

On non-shooting days you will be immersed in the Italian experience, with options ranging from relaxing at the villa to engaging in cooking classes, wine tastings, or exploring nearby cities and local crafts. Because of the personalized service you will enjoy continuity throughout your holiday, from planning shoots to executions, ensuring a seamless and unforgettable experience for you and your companions.

Whether you’re a seasoned shooter or a non-shooting guest, this Italian adventure will be a unique and immersive trip mixed with hunting and touring.

Hunting
