Where we are
Among the Italian regions Umbria, far from the sea and enclosed between Apennine mountains, is perhaps the least known; The hilly and mountainous character of the territory and the absence of access to the sea have historically made connections more difficult and influenced the history on the characters of the population and buildings as we can appreciate today in most of the inhabited centers.
For the same reasons in Umbria the alteration of the original historical characters appears less evident than in other Italian regions, making it particularly attractive to visitors interested in a careful knowledge of the places.
Fabro was in the 19th century an aggregate of a few dwellings around a medieval castle, of which few ruins remain. The railroad first (1875) and then the highway (1963) allowed its development as a modern residential center equipped with public services and commercial establishments that also benefited the surrounding villages of Ficulle, Parrano, Montegabbione, Monteleone d'Orvieto, and Carnaiola.
The rail connection allows you to reach the center of Rome and Florence in less than 2 hours without the constraints and costs of private transportation
The historic SS71 “Umbro-Casentinese” state road and the motorway also make it easy to reach Orvieto and Perugia and many other centers of historical, monumental, archaeological, and landscape interest in Umbria and Tuscany, such as Città della Pieve, Montepulciano, Pienza, San Quirico d'Orcia, San Casciano dei Bagni, and also many other very interesting but lesser known places.
Lake Trasimeno is 40 km away and offers opportunities to visit the surrounding towns in all seasons: Castiglione del Lago on a promontory jutting out over the lake, Tuoro from which one can reach Isola Maggiore by boat, Panicale where an elliptical circle of walls encloses a 13th-century church and a delightful Baroque theater.
The surroundings also offer the opportunity to immerse oneself in the nature of the particularly wild woods that can be traveled for dozens of kilometers on the SP58 road toward Marsciano, or the gullies and tall woods of the “Monte Rufeno Nature Reserve” in the direction of Acquapendente, about thirty kilometers away.
Just four kilometers from the estate is a sulfur spring in a lonely valley at the edge of a gorge on whose steep cliffs are overlooked by prehistoric caves (which can be visited with a guide) known as “Tane del Diavolo”.
Local products
The nature of the small country town of Fabro surrounded by a reality still genuinely agricultural offers the opportunity to find within a few meters several stores of local products of great value for quality and genuineness: donuts, “tozzetti”, tarts and traditional Umbrian cakes baked by the Mechelli oven, fresh “ricotta”, “Cacciatorino”, “Tuscan Finocchiona” and cheeses produced in the surroundings in the grocery next door, fresh vegetables just opposite where is also the butcher shop with “Chianina” meat from local farms.
Numerous other local specialties can be found in the winery outlet a few meters from the stores just mentioned: lentils from Dal Savio, Moretti jams, Barbanera cheeses from Montegabbione, Ferraldeschi honey and nougat from Parrano, Scianca cold cuts from Montecchio, Mazzuoli saffron from Città della Pieve.
Nearby trattorias offer typical and genuine traditional dishes, prominent among them the “Pici all'aglione” at Trattoria “Vecchio Frantoio” a few hundred meters from the property.
Facilities and hospitality characteristics
The aesthetic and functional characteristics of the facilities are characterized by having been restored while fully preserving their rural character.
The location of the facilities, surrounded by woods and vineyards but only a few meters from the highway, allows guests to alternate visits to the many centers of interest in the area, with absolute rest in the silence in the garden and pool, enjoying the breezy climate of the hilly area.
The care of the garden and pool is provided by the farm staff, who intervene whenever necessary; pool maintenance, a silent activity, is preferably accomplished in the early hours of the day so as not to disturb the guests.
