Villa Sobrano,
Umbria, Italy
Just 3 kilometres from the old town centre of Todi, Villa
Sobrano is a picturesque country house surrounded by
vineyards and immersed in the green rolling hills for which
this area is so well known. The villa itself is a complex of
several agricultural buildings that stand around a central
main residence. Today the complex of Villa Sobrano is made
up of a courtyard, an entrance garden, the garden of the
Villa itself, a small chapel and a fortified building
erected in the 13th century known as the 'Castello'.
Built in the 19th century, the villa reflects a design
commonly used by local landowners for their country
residences. It is divided into 4 double rooms and 2 suites,
each with its own sitting room. All the rooms are entirely
furnished with period pieces, each with their own private
bathroom and every modern comfort. The villa also contains a
communal sitting room and a dining room.
The lower section of the villa offers access to an
interesting, 50-metre long gallery known as the "bottaia",
that houses a series of ancient oak barrels for storing and
ageing wine. The gallery leads to the cellars beneath the
villa where guests can taste the wines produced on the Villa
Sobrano estate.
Guests at Villa Sobrano have a variety of activities
available to them, from simple walks in the countryside to
horse riding, mountain bike excursions, following the
cooking lessons at the Perugia Cordon Bleu school, or hiring
an authorised guide to show them the marvels of Todi and
other Umbrian towns such as Orvieto, Perugia or Assisi.
