Set amongst fifteen acres in the ancient hills of Umbria, Le Favette
is a magical place to base a holiday. The property consists of a
farmhouse, where the owners live, the caretaker’s house, and the
rental property - a modern villa on two floors built in the
traditional Umbrian style.

Le Favette is a small farm with 400 olive trees, and an acre of vines.
The olive oil is exceptional, and chickens lay delicious eggs, and
many seasonal vegetables are grown. These can be picked straight from
the vegetable garden for your meals.

The farmhouse, where the owners live, lies down an avenue of cypresses
below the villa, and both properties have stunning views of the
beautiful medieval town of Todi.

The villa has a combined sitting and dining room, with an attractive
‘soppalco’ mezzanine floor with wrought iron staircase. Throughout
there is a tasteful blend of antique and modern furniture and
interesting art. The large sitting room is downstairs away from the
hub of the kitchen and it too has a fireplace.

With three double rooms the villa comfortably sleeps six. In the
kitchen you will find the full range of modern appliances the
enthusiastic cook expects.

The villa also features two bathrooms with showers. Water is solar
heated, backed up by gas. The washing machine and tumble dryer make
doing laundry simple.

There is a large portico for relaxing away from the midday sun, and
for al fresco dining and barbecuing. For those with excess energy to
burn off there is a folding table tennis table.

The Swimming Pool is a beautifully curved 14 X 6 metre pool, with a
straight swimming lane for serious swimmers. It has spacious,
attractive decking and is located below and well away from the main
farmhouse. A combination of dark grey liner, solar heating and
nighttime cover makes for a season from mid-May to mid-October. The
pool is landscaped with two ponds, which give endless entertainment of
their own.

The views around the pool are stunning, overlooking the Tiber valley
across to the hilltop town of Todi. The garden is delightful; it is
shaded in part by mature trees and can be lit at night for a swim or
barbecue party.

There is plenty of Wildlife as the ponds are a mini nature reserve and
a haven for frogs, dragon flies and fish. The gardens and rockeries
attract numerous butterflies and the interesting hummingbird
hawksmoth.

The birdlife includes goldfinches and magnificent hoopoes that nest on
the property. We have a pair of resident hares.
