A very pretty cottage on the 30 hectare farming estate of "Il Borghetto", only 8kms from Todi.
The cottage was converted, along with its neighbour 'Alloro' from farm buildings in 2002. The work has been carried out to a very high standard, with cotto floors and beamed ceilings. There is a kitchen/living room at ground floor, and shower room. At first floor are two bedrooms, beautifully furnished in traditional country style, and a further shower room.
'Il Borghetto' provides the perfect setting for an idyllic holiday. The 30 hectare farm is secluded, but easily accessible, and has stunning views towards 'the ideal city' of Todi. There are two old farmhouses, as well as the two cottages "Nespolo" and "Alloro" in the middle of the estate, surrounded by wheat and sunflowers, woodland, vineyards and olive groves. Around the houses are lawns, shrubs and mature trees, and set between them is the swimming pool (15 x 6m, depth 1.5 - 2m) which is shared by guests at the houses. The farmhouses and cottages are simply and comfortably furnished in traditional style, and each has a garden area with barbecue for dining al fresco.
Despite its secluded position, Il Borghetto is ideally placed for visiting central Umbria. Todi, only 8kms away, is one of the most beautiful towns of Umbria, and is visible from Il Borghetto. Perched on a hill, Todi seems, in a quiet unassuming way, to encapsulate the very best of Italian architecture and culture, from its Estruscan origins, to medieval churches of immaculate proportions, to its tiny 19th century theatre. If you feel the need to travel further afield, Orvieto, Perugia, and the lakes of Trasimeno, Corbara and Bolsena are all easily accessible.
