The estate comprises 60 acres of verdant pasture, century-old forests, parks, and streams and includes an ancient spring. Fully half of the estate is untouched by modern development, and the surrounding countryside is similarly unaffected. Yet, despite the feeling of isolation, the estate is only 6 miles from Todi, an ancient Umbrian walled hilltown and 13th century home to Bishop Fortunato, the leader in the successful resistance against Totila the Goth and Jacopone, a Franciscan poet of some stature. All are delightfully decorated with pastel colors, fine linens, and charming wooden cutouts from Orvieto.
All residences offer satellite television, private telephone lines, and a safe.
The apartments offer breakfast in the reception hall which includes a gourmet selection of handmade food products and olive oil, and a wine bar well-stocked with Tuscan and Umbrian delights of the vine. Ranging the grounds, you will encounter some of the estate's farm cats. Below are brief descriptions of the country house, and the 6 apartments available at L'Antico Gelso . The country house rents by the week, while the apartments may be rented by the night, with a 2 night minimum. All of the bathrooms have stone sinks.
