| Umbria, the very center of Italy, is an area rich in agriculture, dotted
with beautiful hilltop villages, each with its own unique character. Todi, centrally
located in Umbria, is an ideal base for exploring southern Tuscany as well as
all of Umbria. From here, it is a two-hour drive to Florence and a 90-minute drive
to Rome. Destinations like Orvieto, Perugia, Assisi, Spoleto, Montalcino, Siena,
and Pienza are all within easy daytrip distance.
Casale Romito is an
ideal accommodation for large groups of family or friends who are looking for
privacy as well as wonderful communal spaces where the entire group can come together
to relax or enjoy a meal. Built around a 13th-century tower that once guarded
the valley against invaders, Casale Romito was originally designed for the use
of the owner's extended family. The many rooms of this spacious country house
blend together harmoniously into a common household with three large salons, two
large country kitchens with fireplaces, three covered outdoor dining areas, and
a large swimming pool. The surrounding grounds offer sweeping views of a scenic
valley, which lies between the Umbrian hill towns of Todi and Orvieto.
The
house may be rented in its entirety, or for smaller groups, it may be rented without
the garden level, which includes a living room, kitchen, and four bedrooms. One
of these is a double room with queen-sized bed and en suite bath. There is also
a twin bedroom with en suite bath. A second twin bedroom shares a bath with an
adjacent single bedroom. The main floor of the farmhouse has two spacious
living rooms, a game room, kitchen, laundry room with washer and dryer, and three
bedrooms. Two are double rooms with queen-sized beds; one has an en suite bath.
The other shares a bath with the third bedroom, which has twin beds. The
top floor of the house is on two levels. On the lower part of this floor there
is a living room and four bedrooms. A twin bedroom suitable for children shares
a bath with a single bedroom, suitable for a child or nanny. A triple bedroom
shares a bath with a queen bedroom. A small stairway leads to the uppermost
level, with a living room, two queen bedrooms with en suite baths, an additional
queen bedroom with a few steps up to a bathroom, and a single bedroom with circular
stairs to a bathroom. No smoking is permitted at Casale Romito.
