I Gelsomini - 7 Bedroom (Sleeps 14) Villa in Todi

Description

Villa I Gelsomini is a spacious seven-bedroom villa set among mature olive trees on the edge of the tiny hamlet of Fiore, just 5 miles (8 km) from the beautiful medieval hilltop town of Todi. With a private swimming pool, generous living areas and flexible accommodation over two floors, it is an excellent choice for large families, multi-generational holidays and groups of friends looking to enjoy the Umbrian countryside.

For the 2027 season, the villa is being renovated to a high standard, with improved interiors, new furniture throughout and a brand-new swimming pool with newly improved pool surrounds. The renovation will give this traditional Umbrian country home a fresh, more luxurious feel while retaining its character and peaceful rural setting.

Rome Airport is a little over an hour's drive away, depending on traffic, and the villa is ideally placed for exploring Umbria's historic towns, vineyards, restaurants and beautiful countryside.

A traditional Umbrian villa with a fresh new look

Dating back more than 100 years, Villa I Gelsomini combines the character of a traditional Italian country home with newly renovated interiors and contemporary furnishings.

Set within a garden of mature olive trees, the property enjoys a peaceful location with far-reaching countryside views. The new swimming pool and improved pool surrounds will provide an inviting place to relax and enjoy the Italian sunshine, while the generous indoor spaces make the villa particularly suitable for larger groups.

The accommodation is arranged over two floors, with separate access to the upper floor. This provides useful flexibility for families and groups who want to holiday together while retaining a little independence.

One of the villa's special features is a self-contained suite at one end of the lower floor. By closing a door in the corridor, guests can enjoy their own sitting room, dining area and kitchen, creating a private retreat for relatives or anyone who appreciates some quieter space.

With three kitchens across the property, there is also plenty of flexibility when preparing meals and refreshments for a larger party.

Private swimming pool and outdoor living

The villa's swimming pool is being replaced for the 2027 season, alongside improvements to the surrounding pool area. The existing pool measures approximately 14 x 5 metres, providing generous space for swimming and relaxing.

The garden, mature olive trees and barbecue make the property well suited to relaxed summer days, whether you prefer to spend your time by the pool, enjoy lunch outdoors or gather together after a day exploring Umbria.

Final pool dimensions and depth will be confirmed following the renovation.

Enjoy authentic Umbrian cooking at the villa

One of the highlights of Villa I Gelsomini is the opportunity to arrange for local cooks to prepare traditional Umbrian meals at the property.

Meals are available at very reasonable prices, often costing less than dining at a restaurant. This is particularly appealing for families with children and larger groups who would like to enjoy excellent local food without having to go out every evening.

You can spend the day relaxing by the pool before sitting down to a freshly prepared Italian dinner, or enjoy a leisurely lunch together without leaving the villa. Cookery classes can also be arranged for guests who would like to learn more about local cuisine.

Additional services available on request include:

- Traditional Umbrian meals prepared at the villa
- Cookery classes
- Maid service
- Shopping assistance
- Babysitting
- Personal wine tours

Housekeeping, including a tidy and linen change, is included on Wednesdays for one-week stays and on Saturdays for stays of two weeks or longer.
