Rich in history, surrounded by wonderful nature and fitted with unusual comfort: Le Favate in Terradura has got a unique atmosphere.
The estate Le Favate was erected as early as the beginning of the 17th century on a historic, 3000 year-old salt road which reaches the Tyrrhenian Sea at 5 km from Velia. Several loopholes in Le Favate bear witness to a great number of armed conflicts, in the course of which the estate has wondrously never been destroyed.
So, after a longstanding and costly refurbishment, its guests can enjoy its whole splendour.

Embedded in a lush green valley the estate covers a total of 5000 sqm - a vast space for more than 10,000 olive trees, vineyards and vegetable gardens, as well as for the livestock husbandry of cows, chicken, goats, turkeys and pigs.
Le Favate is a paradise for children and adults, who wish to endulge in the authentic rural live of Southern Italy.
The owners - who feel obliged to keep up old traditions - will gladly show you how they run their estate.

The estate incorporates a main building, an outbuilding, the apartment house Il Casone and an oil mill from the 17th century on the River La Fiumarella.
A private chapel, a living and dining hall, an exterior terrace with view of the sea and
guest rooms on the upper floor are located in the main building.
Additional guest rooms and and a holiday apartment for 5 persons are situated in the outbuilding which is in front of the main building.
