Country estate Le Favate - Apartments with pool in Terradura (Ascea)

Triad of history, nature and comfort

History

Rich in history, surrounded by wonderful nature and offering extraordinary comfort: Le Favate in Terradura radiates a unique atmosphere.

Country estate Le Favate was erected as early as the beginning of the 17th century along a now 3000 year-old salt road which, 5 km further on, reaches the Tyrrhenian Sea near Velia. In spite of a great number of armed conflicts in times gone by, the loopholes at Le Favate still bearing witness to these times, the estate, miraculously, always survived intact.

Today, after years of elaborate and extensive renovation, it stands to be admired in all its splendor.

Spacious premises

Embedded in a lush green, broad valley the estate covers a total of 50 ha - a lot of space for more than 10,000 olive trees, vineyards and vegetable gardens, as well as for the husbandry of livestock, e.g. cows, chicken, goats, turkeys and pigs.

Le Favate is a paradise for children and adults who wish to experience authentic Southern Italian country life. On the estate, keeping to and preserving old traditions concerning cultivation and husbandry have always been of importance.

The architectural ensemble of the historic country estate includes the main building, an outbuilding, the apartment house Il Casone and the old 17th century oil mill on the river La Fiumarella.

The main building includes a private chapel, a lounge and a dining hall, a terrace with sea view and several guest rooms on the upper floor. WLan access is for free in this area.

Two apartments for up to 4 and 5 persons, respectively, are found in the outbuilding, which is located across from the main building.

Apartment house Il Casone, which is about 100 m from the main building, houses four holiday apartments, each for 4 resp. 6 persons.

Apartments for 4 and 5 persons, respectively, in the outbuilding

Each of the two spaciously laid out apartments we have chosen for you covers two levels. They are located next to each other in the lovely outbuilding and not too far from the Agriturismo’s beautiful pool.

On the ground floor, you find a large living area, which includes a fully equipped kitchen and a cosy sofa corner with Sat-TV and terracotta oven, and a bathroom with hydro massage-shower, WC and bidet.

On the upper floor of the apartment for up to 5 persons, there are two bedrooms (double bed, single bed). The smaller apartment has only one double bedroom on the upper floor. The furniture in the apartments is mainly handmade.

Apartments for 4 and 6 people, respectively, in Il Casone

Like all the other buildings of the country estate, the lovely apartment house has been completely renovated. The four holiday apartments on the upper floor of the house cover two floors each and they are similar in furnishing. We have chosen apartment no. 10 for 6 persons for our Cilentano guests.

Each holiday apartment at Il Casone has a furnished terrace with panoramic view.

On the first floor of apartment no. 10, you find the live-and-eat-in-kitchen (with TV), the bathroom (with shower/bidet/WC) as well as a bedroom with twin beds.

Climbing a staircase you reach the upper floor of the apartment with two bedrooms, one with twin beds and one with double bed, as well as an extra guest WC. 

Bookings of the other three Il Casone apartments can be arranged upon request. Each of these apartments includes a live-and-eat-in kitchen and a bathroom; one sleeps 6 persons and has an extra guest WC, the other two sleep 4 persons (double bed, bunk bed) each.  

On the ground floor of the house, there is a “sala degustazione”, where you may taste the olive oil produced on the estate as well as Cilento specialties.
