Tenuta di
Canonica is located on the summit of a hill overlooking the town of Todi,
amidst the silvery olive trees that dominate the Tiber Valley, to 45 kms
from Perugia. Tenuta di Canonica opens its doors with the welcome of a
private residence in a warm family atmosphere.
The
building used to be a monastery and has been exceptionally beautifully
restored. There are twelve bedrooms in the main house, each one
individually decorated in lovely colors, and elegantly furnished with
antiques. The rooms must be the most stylish in Umbria, and each has its
own equally stylish tiled bathroom, with bath or shower.
The
atmosphere is more like a country house than a hotel. Downstairs there is
a large, comfortable sitting room with a fireplace and a library as well
as a dining room, but in summer, meals, which are cooked by request, are
taken outside on the terrace. From here you can see Todi and Lake Corbara
in the distance.
The views
from the large swimming pool are equally spectacular, and many people will
be happy to spend much of their time here and in the rest of the grounds
and the house. Here they will receive warm hospitality from Maria and
Daniele, who own the property and are responsible for its elegant
restoration.
From
every angle of the garden, a 360° view spans the surrounding hills, the
Corbara Lake , the city of Todi and the woods on the grounds of Tenuta. |
