Todi Villa for Rent: Beautifully Furnished Villa with Views and Pool - Property 229761

Location: Pergolaccio is a stone farmhouse located just ten minutes outside of Todi, in Umbria. We are 25 minutes away from Orvieto (where you can take a 1 1/2 hour train to Florence or Rome from the station) and 40 minutes to Perugia. We are 30 minutes from Deruta where you can buy hand made ceramics (See my book, Deruta: A Tradition of Italian Ceramics , Chronicle). Other towns nearby: Assisi, Spoleto, Spello.

The Property: Pergolaccio is situated on three acres of olive groves atop a hill over looking breathtaking views of the unspoiled Umbrian countryside and farmland. The area immediately surrounding the house is planted with an herb garden, flowering bushes and vines and over 50 varieties of antique roses. There is a shady pergola where you can dine outside, a wood burning barbecue and pizza oven and a vegetable and cutting garden bordered by a grape arbour and fruit orchard. The swimming pool is nearby, but not visible from the house. The pool is located on the old threshing ground and takes in magnificent views out over the valley.

Activities: I leave a detailed booklet at the house, full of information of activities in the area. There are cooking classes and wine tours available, as well as wonderful restaurants in the area.

Other Activities: Cooking lessons
