IT1280 Villa Favorita

Umbria period country villa rental - Set among olive groves and sunflower fields in the heart of the peaceful Umbrian countryside, Villa Favorita is a truly charming villa dating back to the 17th century.

The meticulous refurbishment carried out by the owners has enhanced the authentic charm of this villa where original local stones, exposed wooden beams, terracotta floors and period furniture create the perfect 'country atmosphere' for your holiday in Umbria. The views over oak-clad hills and rolling fields are splendid and can be best enjoyed from your private covered pergola as you sip your morning cappuccino, or whilst relaxing on the comfortable pool loungers. In the privacy of your garden, planted with roses and lavenders, you can choose to 'dine out' and book a table in your own private restaurant where the chef will prepare delicious meals with local produce and flavours, ideal for those special occasion dinners or wedding celebration.

A few miles from Villa Favorita you find lovely rural villages with shops and weekly markets. Todi, further away, is a gorgeous medieval hilltop village. In Deruta you can buy bright coloured hand-painted ceramics and sample local olive oil and other Italian gastronomic delicacies. Among the exciting outdoor activities you can practise in this area are: biking along beautiful trails, canoeing and white water rafting in Marmore waterfalls, the tallest and most spectacular in Italy.
