A Wonderful Escape
A wonderful escape, especially after 5 activity filled days and nights in a hot and crowded Rome. The property is beautiful, with lovely gardens, perfect sunsets and, yes, we had donkeys, sheep and deer for neighbors.
The house is spacious and comfortable, uniquely furnished with works by Orvieto Craftsmen and murals featuring the gardens and the donkeys. We were 11, ranging in age from 4 to 78 and took full advantage of the amazing pool complex, including hot tub, sauna and misting showers.
Umbria is fascinating with its ancient hill towns and there is plenty to do for those who want to explore, but we treasured our time at the villa and the chance to relax in such a magical place. On two nights, we did take advantage of the cooking service and had delicious meals. Highly recommended.
The owners, Franco and Aukse, who created Villa della Favole were gracious, responsive to every question and wanted us to enjoy the place they had put so much care into making.
