STORIES THAT STAY
Some experiences you carry with you forever.
Here are three…
Lorenzo’s horse didn’t just tolerate Alterreno. The one time he escaped his paddock, he walked 4 kilometers, alone, to reach Angelika.
“Our horse made the choice before we did,” Lorenzo says. “He knew where he belonged.”
Twelve years later, Lorenzo and his wife still return. Not out of habit. Out of conviction.
"When we discovered Alterreno, we realized things could be even better than we imagined.
Spaces, care and love that put the horse first, always."
"I found an environment and professionalism far superior to the mediocrity often found elsewhere.
This is where excellence lives."
Monica found Angelika online twelve years ago, searching for someone who could help her daughter’s horse after a long injury. What she found was something rarer: professionalism that didn’t compromise, care that didn’t cut corners and a standard she didn’t know existed in Italy.
“At least once a year, our horses spend one or two months at Alterreno,” Monica shares. “And every time, it’s a pleasure, even for us humans, to breathe in such a magical place.”
Twelve years. That’s not loyalty. That’s proof.
Phoebe Otto has ridden across continents. She’s seen facilities in Europe, America, Asia. She’s experienced what “world-class” is supposed to mean.
And then she came to Alterreno.
“I’ve been to many stables across the world,” she says, “and this one is by far the best I’ve seen.”
Not the biggest. Not the most famous. The best.
"The horses are incredibly well cared for. The nature is stunning. The service is excellent.
This is a lifetime experience."

THE HORSES SPEAK TOO
The truest reviews come from those who cannot write them.
Harmony That Changes Lives
Harmony coming from within
At Alterreno, this isn’t the result of a method, it’s the result of respect. Every choice, from paddock design to human interaction, is made to support the horse’s natural rhythms. What you see here is what happens when horses are allowed to be fully, freely themselves.
You can see the horses are in harmony with everything around them.
That harmony isn't decoration. It's care made visible
Horses at Alterreno live in nature, with space to move, graze and socialize.
They're not managed. They're understood.
Designed Around the Horse
Freedom it’s a practice
At Alterreno, daily life is structured to support how horses naturally live and thrive. Open pastures, herd dynamics, slow rhythms. We observe more than we impose. The result? Horses who feel safe enough to show you who they really are, without pressure, without masks.
