Charming Medieval Townhouse with Breathtaking Views
Vacation Rental Description
La Gardenia is a traditional stone-built house, dating from the Middle Ages. It is located in the heart of Todi, voted the most livable town on earth and the setting for the classic 1965 film The Agony and the Ecstasy. Situated on the upper 2 floors of the building, the apartment, which is recommended by Lonely Planet the Tuscany/Umbria edition, offers stunning views over rooftops, churches and town monuments. From the balcony, which is large enough for a small table and chairs, one can enjoy the clean air and the peacefulness of the surrounding hills. Furnishings range in style from the distinguished 19th-century tea room, to the early 20th-century, and are elegant and comfortable.
The owner is a native of Todi and can offer assistance in English with everything, from sightseeing to maid service on-request.
The first floor has a formal living-room with lovely 19th-century antiques, 2 bedrooms with 1 double and 1 single bed, connected by a full bathroom. Both bedrooms have fine views.
The second floor has a dining-room with table for six, leading onto a balcony, with beautiful views over the hills to the south and the Tempio della Consolazione church, fully equipped kitchen open to the dining-room on one side and a sitting-room on the other, sitting-room with sofabed, and a single bedroom with half bath.

Todi in Umbria holidayGuest: David(Murray Bridge South Australia)
Date of Stay: 11/01/09
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the La Gardenia townhouse in Todi. The apartment was very clean and provided us with all our living and cooking needs. We were attracted to the website because of the photos and because of the balcony overlooking Todi and surrounding hills. We spent a great deal of time out there drinking and eating local fare as well as having Bocelli playing in the background. Carlo was very helpful with our e-mails and while we were there. He met us at the car park, helped us with our luggage and answered all our questions and even suggested places for us to visit. We haven't stopped raving about our stay in Todi and we recommended La Gardenia to all our friends and hopefully one day they will share the same experiences as we did. To us having is a car is essential as you can travel freely around Umbria and there are some lovely small villages to visit. We visited Spoleto, Mamorre on the weekend to see the water released into huge falls, we caught the bus into Rome for the day and we spent time just wandering around Todi. You can join the Library at the Cathedral and use the internet for free. There are many nice bars and pizza places in town too. We had a wonderful week staying at La Gardenia. You will too.
Great place to stay in beautiful location

We stayed in this two floor apartment for one week in April 2009. Views of the countryside, the town and the church from the windows and the balcony are beautiful. It is in a charming and quiet medieval street towards the middle of the old town. The apartment was well equipped, comfortable and spotlessly clean - photos shown are accurate, although we think the view from the balcony is much more stunning in reality! Todi itself is lovely and has several good restaurants, food shops, cafes etc. It is also very easy to cook a full meal in the kitchen and you can comfortably sit on the balcony to eat. Carlo was extremely helpful and very welcoming, and gave us lots of information about the area. We were able to drive easily to Assisi, Perugia and Orvieto from this location. We have hired a lot of holiday apartments and this is definitely one of the nicest - we would happily stay again if we return to Todi.
Todi Townhouse

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our two-week stay in this charming medieval townhouse in Todi. The townhouse is comfortable and provides a wonderful view from its small balcony. Carlo, the landlord, is most helpful in providing recommendations concerning dining, shopping, and sightseeing in the area. Getting about town requires walking, but this is the best way to get to know a place and its people. Several wonderful restaurants are in easy walking distance. If wanting a special meal and you are wiling to travel by automobile, we recommend Trippini il Ristorante in Civitella del Lago. We plan to return to Todi and stay in this townhouse.
Exceeded Expectations
Guest: John from Berkeley(Berkeley, CA, USA)
Date of Stay: 05/23/09
We have rented at over a dozen apartments in Italy through VRBO, but this has got to be my favorite. It feels much more like a home than a holiday rental, still with many family heirlooms. We enjoyed our breakfast in the littler balcony, with a view of the old medieval gate (or is it roman?), several churches, various walls looping around the hill, and beyond ... the morning sun creeping over the hills and illuminating various little towns sprinkled over the countryside ... We first arrived at the apartment by car through a tangled maze of steep, one way medieval alleys, all very picturesque, with the owner on board as a guide. However we quickly found out there is a large free parking lot just outside the wall, a 5 minute walk down the steep hill. A short drive around the wall takes you to a large supermarket, however there are numerous little shops within the old town. Todi has a lot of character, and in my mind is much more interesting than some of it's more famous neighbors, like Spoleto or Orvieto. As an added bonus, we saw very few tourists, the few we saw appeared to be day visitors. The apartment was well kept up and clean; it had a lot of character, and a few quirks only added to the charm. However, this rental would not be suitable for people who do not enjoy climbing stairs or steep hills.
Perfect Perch in Todi

My family and I stayed in this beautiful townhouse May 2010. The views from the windows and off the balcony were spectacular. The town of Todi looks like something out of a storybook. Quaint little shops, good restaurants, little grocery stores and very warm and friendly people. The town is of course on a hill but it is very walkable and safe to walk day or night. My husband and I jogged up to the "Rocca" the Rock. The trail is very close to the townhouse and reveals great views of the valley. Carlo, the owner, spoke English very well and was so helpful and charming. This place has been in his family for years and he has great stories about Todi. With his help, we visited art galleries and even attended a jazz concert. We felt like locals. It was a very unique experience and one of the highlights of our trip to Italy. Carlo also helped our college age daughter connect to the internet which is not always easy in walled medieval city. From Todi we took many day trips. Carlo supplied us with a notebook that had many suggestions for half day or full day trips. It was very useful. We also took advantage of the well appointed kitchen. We love to cook and it was very easy to do this with all the cookware and spices that were already at the townhouse. We also loved having two bathrooms and plenty of space to spread out. I would definitely recommend this property to friends and family. Ciao - Brad & Laura
We stayed here last year the first 2 weeks of Oct.

It was everything that it says about the apartment and more. We called Carlo when we got to Todi and he met us and took us to the apartment.It was spotless, very comfortable and quiet.After unloading car we went to the car park about a 5-10 minute walk at the most.Carlo speaks english and was very helpfull and goes out of his way to make sure you are ok. This was our third time to Todi in 6 years, 1st time renting an apartment. It is the best way to go. The food markets are all within walking distance.There are plenty of great restaurants in town as well as sights to see. Todi is a great place to base yourself and do day trips from. We are planning on going to Todi again next year and would highly recommend this apartment to anyone. I think you would really enjoy your stay.
