Montenero Shooting Estate – Umbria

Montenero: A Hunting Paradise in the Heart of Umbria

Nestled in the heart of Umbria, just a stone’s throw from the enchanting village of Todi, lies the Montenero Hunting Reserve, a true paradise for enthusiasts of hunting with pointing dogs.

The AATV Montenero, stretches across a vast territory of 1000 hectares, a breathtaking landscape of hills, forests, hedges, and endless cultivated fields that seem to be taken straight from a postcard.

The shooting estate, managed by Giorgio Paraporti, an innovator in Italian hunting, is the kingdom of English-style driven hunts for pheasants and partridges, as well as a fantastic reserve for hunting with pointing dogs.

This picturesque setting, typical of the Umbrian countryside, is the ideal place for dog enthusiasts, particularly those with continental and English breeds, who find in these lands the perfect context to experience the thrill of hunting in an environment rich in history and hunting tradition.

The beauty of the Umbrian countryside, with its gentle hills and ever-changing colors throughout the seasons, offers the hunter a unique experience. Every hunting expedition is a sensory journey, where the scent of the earth, the sounds of nature, and the sight of the splendid landscapes create a magical atmosphere. In this context, the pheasant hunter with a pointing dog experiences moments of pure emotion.

The dog, a faithful companion and protagonist, moves precisely through the fields, following the tracks of the game with skills refined by training and instinct.

The anticipation grows with every step, until the dog stops, decisively pointing at the prey.

The hunter knows that in that moment, everything is at stake, and the tension dissolves in the sudden flight of a pheasant, offering that mix of adrenaline and satisfaction that only hunting can provide.However, Montenero is not solely dedicated to roaming hunts.

One of the aspects that makes it famous is the splendid English-style pheasant drives, held throughout the year.

This hunting technique, practiced in carefully selected scenarios, allows hunters to enjoy exciting shots, where their skill and precision are tested in an elegant and stimulating way.

Each drive is designed to offer the hunter the opportunity to challenge themselves with difficult and fascinating flights, all while respecting the natural balance and quality of the game.

The history of the reserve is intertwined with that of the Todini family, who, from 1980 to 2000, thanks to the vision of Cavalier Todini, made Montenero a model of modern and forward-thinking hunting management.

Today, under the expert guidance of G&G Hunting Services, the reserve continues to offer high-quality game in abundance, thanks to an advanced system of open-air aviaries and feeders scattered throughout the territory.

This approach ensures a healthy and plentiful fauna, making Montenero an excellent destination for the most demanding pointing dog hunters, who can aspire to prestigious trophies.

What makes the experience even more special is the hospitality of Relais Todini,

an elegant retreat located on a hill in the center of the reserve.

This splendid relais offers refined rooms with breathtaking views of the Umbrian hills and impeccable service, making every stay a luxurious and comfortable experience.

After a day of hunting, hunters can relax in an exclusive setting, where the cuisine is a true journey through the flavors of Umbrian tradition.

From game-based dishes to local products, every meal is a tribute to the rich food and wine culture of the region, accompanied by fine local wines.

The Montenero Hunting Reserve is much more than just a hunting destination: it is a place where the passion for hunting merges with respect for nature, history, and the traditions of the land.

A true Umbrian jewel that continues to enchant and offer unforgettable emotions to all who visit.
