The top two floors of a 12th Century castle tower. Panoramic views.

Villa San Faustino castle was built in the 11th or 12th Century, old even by Italian standards. Our apartments are in the main tower, a solid and noble south facing building with spectacular views over a fertile valley of sunflowers, vineyards and olive groves. Garden space is set aside for guests to relax in. Despite its many attractions this area is thankfully still off the main tourist trail.The numerous excellent eateries that abound in this area are frequented mainly by locals and in-the-know Romans. Villa is easy to get to and handily central for making trips from.

Accommodation and Facilities for Le Rondini in Todi area, Umbria, Italy

The importance of food

Villa San Faustino boasts its own mineral water and olive oil. Other local delicacies include truffles and wild boar. The wine is good, both white and red. Many of the surrounding restaurants are “agriturismi” – farmhouses where much of the food served is grown on site. We have a large organic vegetable garden, part of which is given over to growing old varieties in danger of extinction. Guests can usually obtain fresh produce from us.

The atmosphere

Tourists are a rarity and are treated with warmth. The sixty or so local inhabitants are proud of their well-preserved hamlet and pleased when others appreciate it. The pace of life is slow and sense of community strong. There is plenty to see just wandering around on foot , from beautiful countryside to ancient churches. Relax, sample another way of life and forget about the world of stress beyond.

Central for touring too

Most of Umbria’s places to visit are less than forty minutes away by car. Perugia, Spoleto, Orvieto and Todi to name but a few. Dance, music and food festivals are regular events, and range from the world famous to small village affairs. Three lakes are within easy driving distance. Rome is near enough for a day trip, and if you don’t want to travel everywhere by car, Massa Martana station is a ten minute walk.
