Ceccomoro
Set on a small private estate of 60 acres just 9 km south of Todi, Ceccomoro is the total antithesis of a cluttered farmhouse. Inside, the very spacious rooms give a feeling of coolness, light and tranquillity. The vast sunny sitting room with comfortable sofas and dining area extends the full length of the property. The huge master bedroom has a sublime view and bathroom with roll top bath. A panoramic grassy terrace with long marble table is a perfect spot for balmy candlelit evening meals. The study/library has a computer, printer, fax and WiFi.
The views are simply exceptional, an idyllic panorama of silvery olive trees, wheat fields, forests, castles and farmsteads with Todi clearly visible in the distance.
The infinity pool gives an impression of bathing within the view and guests will appreciate the wisteria-covered dining terrace for shady lunches as well as the well equipped pool house with kitchenette.
The grounds extend to approximately 4 acres and extensive lawned gardens, dotted with silvery olive groves, pine trees and climbing roses, surround the property and slope gently down to the tennis court.
Guests have written warm appreciative comments of the discreet assistance offered by Roberto who manages the estate and the excellent cook service.
With churches and medieval civic buildings, Todi is one central Italy's loveliest towns. A superb choice for friends or families.

Welcome Provisions Included
A welcome gesture to offer you a drink after your journey; tea or coffee and biscuits, wine or juice and a snack. They are not sufficient for an entire meal. Owners will also generally leave a few other items to get you going such as some salt, sugar, oil, bin bags and toilet paper.
Food Hamper
Can be arranged for an additional cost and service charge payable locally. For guests who are arriving late or who recognize they may be delayed and arrive with no time to do shopping. Shops are shut on Sundays, so the aim of the Food Hampers is to provide two light meals and two breakfasts, to allow guests to go out for one meal, then do more shopping on Monday. We can adapt these hampers to take into account allergies, dislikes and dietary requirements, or according to whether there are children in the party.
Cook Service
Clients going to Ceccomoro can avail themselves of the services of the housekeeper (or if she is unavailable a friend of hers), who enjoys cooking very good simple, local, meals for guests.
She will shop for and prepare meals, usually in the evening, though she is prepared also to cook light lunches if required, by arrangement (warning from past experiences: since most clients prefer to have lunch on the pool terrace, which is on a different level from the main kitchen, the cook will have to have help with carrying food to clients and carrying crockery and glasses up and down; this obviously will put up the cost of "light lunches" if they are served, as the help will have to be paid for). The cook's duties include laying the table, serving up to the second course, and clearing up in the kitchen. If there are more than 9 persons, the cook will bring a friend to help her, and clients will be asked to pay for the friend’s services as well.
The cooks do not usually like to work later than 9.30pm, nor do they usually work on Sundays or Bank Holidays (except in exceptional circumstances), though they can leave light meals for these days.
On request, payable locally
Shopping
We suggest you stop on the way to Ceccomoro and shop for ‘basics’ and food for breakfast for Sunday and Monday mornings. However, if you are arriving late (planes can be delayed), and bearing in mind that most shops are closed on Sundays in Italy, we suggest you order a full Food Hamper
