The Farmhouse

The Farmhouse is all on one level and two houses are kind of combined into one, with a covered walkway that joins them – one with 3 en-suite bedrooms and one with 1 en-suite bedroom, a living area with a limestone fireplace, a fully-equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a cooks stove and a full complement of All-Clad cookware, a dining area and a separate TV room.

All 4 bedrooms have a private bathroom with rainfall showers (one bedroom has a separate a freestanding outside bathtub) and a private terrace overlooking the beautiful gardens of The Farmhouse.

There is a large outside terrace with an exterior fireplace with grill and a swimming pool. The pool has a shallow end for kids to enjoy. We have a foosball table under a terrace and the back yard has a bocce court and picnic table. A side terrace has private seating and a fire pit.

The Farmhouse is made of stone and is modern and airy. We used only local materials in the renovations. There is a lot of wrought iron and all the typical materials you find in Umbria, yet we gave it a little lighter and more modern feel.

The Farmhouse has its own pool with about four meters of shallow space, so it’s very good for children and young families. Just above the pool is the terrace offering beautiful views of the Tiber River Valley, an outdoor fireplace and you are surrounded by cherry, walnut and olive groves, fig and cypress trees. We also offer WiFi, DVDs, and a Wii.

Even though the place is self-catering, we have two wonderful chefs who can come to either building. Guests can request meals and watch the chefs rolling out the pasta in the kitchens. Our own home-grown ingredients are used in preparing the meals. We have our own gardens with vegetables, so guests can handpick their own food and cook in the kitchen and sit on the terrace all night.

We also have bikes. It’s hilly and rigorous biking, so it’s probably not for beginners, but if you’re a cycling enthusiast, you’ll love it. There are a lot of animals, as it’s a hunting preserve, and there are a lot of walking and hiking trails to explore.

There is dependable WiFi inside and out at The Farmhouse. On special arrangement, we also offer to print, scan or copy materials from our nearby office for guests.

Our cantina is nearby and guests enjoy walking over and watching the wine-making. Most guests come from the city and love to come here and slow down.

One thing not to be missed is Montefalco. We show our guests a beautiful ride through the vineyards to get there. It’s a lovely artisan wine town with great restaurants and a museum. They can go into town, buy local sausage from the butcher, go over to the cantina to get wine, cook out on the terrace, and sit outside and watch the sunset.

Todi is also a beautiful day trip. People can get to Orvieto with its beautiful cathedral in about an hour. And Assisi is about 45 mins away, which is worth seeing for the Basilica. There’s just a lot of different towns close enough for day trips. Europeans tend to stay more local, but the Americans like to travel further out.
