The ancient Fief of Farnetta,
300 hectares about, with oak tree woods and sunflower fields, in
the gently rolling hills of southern Umbria, in the Todi county,
belongs since many centuries ago to the Nevi family of Todi.
The farmhouse with tower sits on the top of the hill
and has a commanding view of both the estate and the surrounding
countryside. |
| It was recently
restored (1998-2000) and brought to the ancient radiant charm by the
actual patriarch, with the help of two famous world-renowned Italian
architects. They added modern amenities while
maintaining the Fief's rich history. During the renovation, they
discovered that the foundation of the house belonged to an ancient
Roman wall, most probably part of a villa or perhaps a religious
place. |
 |
 |
Whether they are gazing
out of their bedroom window over rolling Umbrian fields, sitting
on the sunlit patio, or lounging by the blue-tiled pool, villa guests
always feel a part of this world - the world of vineyards, sunflower
fields, and vegetable harvests.
Renovated with antique style furniture created by the craftsmen
of Todi, The Fief is the ideal point of departure for cultural and
nature excursions.
The oldest part of this foundation dates from the fifteenth
century, with some additional work performed in more "recent"
years: in 1818 and 1948. |
| The Fief consists of two
houses: The Manor and The Tower.
The Tower can be rented separately only during low season.
When only one of the houses is rented, the other is frozen.

| The house is centrally located
in the province of Umbria, between oak forests and sunflowers fields,
in a region that has a striking undiscovered charm and is full of
pleasant surprises.
For instance, the world-renowned Fossil Forest, located in the nearby
town of Dunarobba, houses the only fossilized (not petrified) wood
that is still in its vertical position. Down the road, Carsulae
has perhaps the most beautiful ancient ruins of any Umbrian-Roman
city in central Italy. |
Also close by are Amelia with
its gigantic city walls and intriguing museum, Narni with its perfectly
preserved Medieval urban city plan, and Lugnano in Teverina with the
one of the most beautiful Umbrian-Roman churches still standing today.
In addition, the nearby Marmore Waterfalls ("la Cascata delle
Marmore") are considered some of the most spectacular in the
world.
All of these amazing sites, and many more, are only minutes away by
car from the Villa. Undoubtedly, however, the most amazing part of
staying in "The Fief" is the atmosphere. The loving care
put into the restoration of the house by its owners shines through
to the guests that stay there, and that same warm attention ensures
that each guest's stay is a memorable one from the moment they arrive
until the time they say farewell. |
