Where do you want to go?
Il Canto dell'Asino, with B&B options, is located in Umbria, between Gubbio and Perugia.
The Educational Farm offers activities assisted by animals, especially donkeys. Yes, the donkey, often mocked and underestimated, is actually strongly capable of making us feel better. Not only that: it is able to relate in a special way with people who have affective disorders and social discomfort, with children and the elderly. It is therefore an animal that fully falls within the circle of pet-therapy (onotherapy).
The park where the main activities are carried out (approximately 11 hectares) is fenced and inside there are: the classroom with facilities for the disabled, the riding school, the stables and the farm paths that lead to the olive grove and meadows used for grazing.
Here are the inhabitants of the farm:
Eleonora Dalbosco: expert in onotherapy, mediation with donkeys, in psychosocial rehabilitation courses, educational farms and eco-sustainable tourism. She is an operator of an "Educational Farm" and also a teacher of music and children's choir singing.
Nicola Conci, musician and choir director, assists the activities on the farm and is responsible for the musical and educational part of the workshops and the NATURAinCANTATA Weeks

We organize educational courses in the company of donkeys, they are aimed at schools, associations, families and recreational groups.
Alongside "being with a donkey" and donkey trekking, the Center organizes workshops such as:
- Wool: the magic of nature
- Synergy in the garden
- In nature everything is music
- We organize donkey rides. The routes are easy, medium and difficult.
We also give particular attention to expressive activities such as dance, music, painting.
