Two villas and a cottage in a 60 Ha private property, Pool, WiFi, fishing, bikes

Favola Umbra is a huge property where there are two villas and a small cottage, old houses original 18th century recently restored with passion and attention to the preservation of the ancient original details and equipped with all the modern technological benefits, leaving intact the testimonies of the ancient stone farmhouses in the Umbrian countryside. The 'Voce degli Angeli' Villa accommodates 12 people and is divided in two apartments, "Voce degli Angeli First" and "Voce of Angeli Ground". The "Favola" Villa accommodates 16 people and is divided in four apartments: two on garden floor: "Dolce Vita" and "Colombe" and two upstairs: "Conviviale," and "Piccolo Sogno". The "Capannina" cottage accommodates 4 people.In the gardens surrounding the villas, fully enclosed with fence and gate, are arranged exclusive spaces, equipped with wrought iron tables to take meals outdoors. You can immerse yourselves in a huge area in the middle of nature with 60 hectares of privately owned land. The vast gardens, the park and walks in our woods allow individuals to enjoy a holiday in complete freedom from stress. The large gardens all around the villas, the space barbecue facilities, a fitness trail, bicycles available free with hiking trails on the property, the slight hill in the forest that is home to botanical paths to the discovery of various species typical of woodland, and still always within the property, 2 lakes for sportfishing exclusively reserved to our guests . Large swimming pool and solarium. All around peace and quiet, panoramic views of the countryside and the two small medieval villages next to us: Montepetriolo and Cibottola.

This property was amazing and fit our needs perfectly. We had 22 people and each group had their own area but we gathered daily in the main dining area. We grilled out, had a chef come and fix us dinner and several days of pit luck. Daily trips to the surrounding hilltop towns of Todi, Orvieto, Spello, Sienna, and Florence one day. You definitely need a car but that gave all of us options. We rented in Perugia and others chose to rent cars in Rome and Sorrento. The property is well maintained and we felt like we were in a very special place. Beautiful sunsets and many outdoor seating areas. You have to put Favola Umbria on your list! It gave us all the quiet and peace we wanted after being in the bigger Italian cities.

Magical Villa
This property was so perfect. Magical. Absolutely magical. Loved all the separate apartments. We were able to split our group of 24 into perfect smaller groups. We used the dining table downstairs to have potluck dinners. Held my husbands 40th bday dinner out on the stone table outside. So magical. Loved every minute of our stay. The pool. The charm. Wow.

Perfect for multiple families
This property was perfect for our group of several families; the accommodation is spacious and flexible, giving both privacy and plenty of space for socialising. The grounds are beautiful and well-kept. We spent most of our time either in the pool, which the teens loved, or sitting around one of the big tables, and some visited Assisi, as well as some of the local villages and Lake Trasimeno. We were very well looked after by the host and her assistants; everyone was kind and helpful and gave us good recommendations for restaurants and a caterer.

A Hawaiian 'Ohana Visits Umbria
We had a large group of friends and family spend an idyllic week in Umbria after a Mediterranean cruise. We had 6 different families with a total of 25 people. Favola Umbra was large enough to accommodate everyone with room to spare. The location was great for exploring Umbria and Tuscany with Perugia close enough to visit the Jazz Festival in the evenings. The young adults in the group loved having the pool and the living area of the main Villa hosted our group dinners, a local catering company was used, our annual cribbage tournament, evening puzzles and karaoke. Cigars, chess and whiskey were enjoyed on the patio at night. The owner Laila was easy to work with and very responsive to our requests. We would recommend Favola Umbra to anyone looking to spend time in Umbria.

50th Wedding Anniversary, spent with family
We had been waiting 2 years for this celebration, deferred due to Covid. Favola Umbra was absolutely wonderful, could not have been better. . The villa is amazing inside and out. The two staff Oriana and Ashley were really lovely and very helpful. Our family were in the gorgeous pool every day and we ate mostly outside. Laila recommended a chef Marc’o and his wife Sara who cooked superb dinners for us (not always easy with young children and some dietary issues to deal with).

This property if every bit as beautiful as it looks in the pictures! My family of 29 people stayed for a week and loved every second! Laila was extremely helpful and patient in answering countless emails to prepare for our trip for well over a year! They were able to have the kitchen stocked with food when we arrived and arranged for an amazing chef to come cook for our family one night. Oriana was on site to help answer questions we had throughout the week. My family enjoyed the pool daily and loved using the outdoor brick oven to make pizzas. My 2 year old son also enjoyed the playground and the older kids took out the bikes. Our last night we hiked up the hill to watch a beautiful sunset to end the week. Thank you so much for allowing us to visit your beautiful villa! It will be a week we always remember.

What a wonderful place!
A large group - 29 of us - stayed at Favola Umbra for one week in August. What a beautiful place! The kids had fun exploring the grounds, using the lovely pool, the bikes, playground, walking trail etc. There were several shady spots dotted around the grounds to seat us all for lunch and dinner. Inside the houses are beautifully decorated, spacious and cool. Laila, Daniella and Marco were so helpful in telling us about the local area and places to eat and visit. We experienced some fantastic local festivals that we otherwise wouldn’t have known about. Thank you so much Laila, Daniella and Marco for your fantastic hospitality and making our holiday so special. We hope to return as one week really wasn’t long enough!

Amazing venue for a group holiday
Favola Umbra was an amazing venue for our group of 7 families - plenty of space, both inside the houses and around the grounds, lovely play area, huge swimming pool, table tennis table, bikes. Laila and Marco were on hand at any moment to help with anything at all that we needed - whether just advice on restaurants, or when we locked oursleves out! They keep the pool and grounds immaculate. We all absolutely loved our stay! Thank you once again :)

Fabulous Favola Umbra
Our family enjoyed two weeks at Favola Umbra. We rented the entire estate, as there were 24 of us. There was plenty of space for all. The cousins (ages 16+) had their own house, which they were thankful for, lol as did the adults. Our niece and her husband, who had eloped the week prior, stayed in the cottage so they could have their own space. Each apartment was spacious and well-accommodated. The kids' house had enough seating for all to dine inside on the few occasions we didn't eat outside. As for the outside, there are not enough words to describe how amazing Favola Umbra is! The pictures are great but seeing the estate in person is breathtaking. There are stunning views from every angle! We swam, biked, hiked, and ran the trails. The view from the top of the mountain is gorgeous! The location is pretty central to surrounding cities but you will need a car to get around. It's about a 30 minute drive to Perugia. Rome and Florence are a little over 2 hours away. Venice and Cinque Terre are about a 4-hour drive. If you prefer, you can catch a train in Perugia. Overall, I can't recommend Favola Umbra enough! Laila, Mario, and Daniela were excellent and attentive hosts and Marco, the groundskeeper, was there whenever we needed him, helping us order food, get a taxi, showing us which trails to take, or where the blackberry tree was located. Laila was extremely helpful even before we arrived in having something shipped ahead of time, setting up a chef for a reception we threw for our niece and her husband, as well as answering numerous questions. All four were there to greet us upon our arrival. Which by the way, if you charter a large bus, the gate is too narrow for it to pass and you will have to haul your luggage up a long, steep gravel road, so pack lightly or make other arrangements, lol! Thank you Laila, Mario, Daniela, and Marco for your part in creating a spectacular vacation for our family. It is definitely one we will not forget!

The property was great. There were 27 of us and six families. Very suitable for that group.
Beautiful property. Private. A groundskeeper is present takes care of every issue that comes up. Laila is a wonderful host, quick to answer any questions and a pleasure to deal with. Ideal for a getaway, with a larger group of people.

Favola Umbra was breathtaking. The views!!! Wonderfully maintained, comfortable and spacious!
Favola Umbra was truly a home away from home. The driveway leads you up to this beautiful grand villa of stone and landscapes you could paint! Sara, the caretaker on the property, was there to welcome and help us settle in and then every morning and into the evenings, there to set up the pool, tend the gardens and pick lettuces for lunch or order food for when we returned from a long day touring Umbria. She and Daniela (Laila's mom) were so helpful with information on local events happening, mass times at the area churches and the many towns to visit for the day in Umbria. The location is very central to all, Perugia, Assis, Siena, Todi, Orvieto, Pienza, Spoleto etc!! Beds were comfortable and the AC was a plus!! My family and my sisters family, 11 people, had plenty of space. More lounge seating inside would have been nice but honestly we were usually relaxing outside. The kids would have liked some board games or outside games like baci ball or house shoes. They have a great outdoor pizza oven but we didn't know how to use it. I think on our next visit maybe we would see if they could have someone come in and make homemade pizza with us!! :) We were sorry to miss Laila, the owner, who was in holiday the same week. But she did come to see us the last day. Laila was most helpful during my time searching for a place to stay. She even called me at home and emailed a few times to checkin during our stay. We hope to be back to Favola soon!! Ciao, Ciao!! Oh and there olive oil from there orchard is delicious!! They sent us home with some too!!

Wonderful Family Reunion at Favola Umbra
We stayed for a week in August at Favola Umbra for an extended-family reunion. We were 19 adults and 7 kids aged 1 to 7. We rented the entire property. All the participants loved the place, which greatly contributed to the success of the reunion. Laila, the owner, was very helpful and accommodating throughout the rental process. She was very prompt in all her correspondence, and fulfilled all our special requests (cribs, highchairs, etc.). Sara, the property manager, was there every day, throughout the day, and made sure we are happy. The rooms were very comfortable and the kitchens well equipped. In the main apartment we were able to cook for, and seat the entire party of 26! The grounds are marvelous and well taken care of. Lots of grass, secluded and shaded seating areas, a playground for the kids (swings, slide, ping-pong, basketball, etc.). The property is very large, includes two swimming pools which got extensive usage, two ponds for fishing, etc. A highlight for the kids was picking fresh vegetables (tomatoes, corn, etc.) and fruits and eating them. A 10 minute drive away are a bakery (fresh bread and pastries every morning ...) grocery store and other shops. In summary, a great place for just a restful vacation, or as a base for touring the surrounding Umbria - most of which is no more than an hour or two of a drive. Renting the entire property (as we did) or only part of it (what are called apartments) is highly recommended.

Wir waren 29 Personen (17 Erwachsene und 12 Kinder) und haben im Juli eine Woche in der Favola Umbra verbracht. Wir waren alle sehr zufrieden mit unserem Aufenthalt und würden sofort wiederkommen. Die Favola Umbra und der Park sind wunderschön und der Pool wurde jeden Morgen geputzt und war einfach herrlich! Laila hat sich schon im Vornherein sehr um unsere Fragen bemüht und immer schnell geantwortet und Oriana hat während unseres Aufenthaltes alles unternommen, damit wir uns wohlfühlen konnten. Es war eine perfekte Ferienwoche! Wir haben für die ersten zwei Abende das Essen beim Restaurant "Dal Volpino" bestellt und waren sehr zufrieden. Leider hatte das "Dal Volpino" danach Ferien und wir konnten nicht mehr dort bestellen.
