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

Triad of history, nature and comfort

Rich in history, surrounded by wonderful nature and furnished with extraordinary comfort - Le Favate at Terradura radiates a unique atmosphere.

Country estate Le Favate was erected at the beginning of the 17th century along an over  4,000-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, which the loopholes at Le Favate still bear witness to, the estate, miraculously, always survived intact.

After elaborate and extensive works of renovation, Le Favate stands to be admired in all its splendor.

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

The architectural ensemble of the historic country estate includes 

- the main building with private chapel, lounge and a dining hall, a terrace with sea view and several guest rooms on the upper floor;

- an outbuilding with 2 apartments, one for up to 4 and one for up to 5 persons, and located across from the main building;

- apartment house Il Casone with 4 holiday apartments, two for up to 4 and two for up to 6 persons, and about 150 m from the main building;

- the old 17th century oil mill on the river La Fiumarella.

Free WLAN access is available in the main building as well as at the pool and at Il Casone.

Apartments for 4 and 5 persons in the outbuilding

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

A large kitchen-dining-living room, with fully equipped kitchenette as well as a cozy sofa corner with SAT-TV and terracotta oven, and a bathroom with hydro massage-shower, WC, bidet are found on the ground floor.

The bedrooms of the apartments are found on the 1st floor: the apartment for up to 5 persons has two bedrooms (double bed, single bed), the apartment for up to 4 persons has one double bedroom.

The furniture in the apartments is mainly handcrafted. Each apartment features central heating. A washing machine in the main building can be used for a fee. Parking is available on the premises of the country estate.

Apartments for 4 and 6 persons at Il Casone

Like all the other buildings of the country estate, the lovely apartment house has been completely renovated. The 4 holiday apartments on the upper floor of the house cover two floors each and are similar in furnishing.

We have chosen an apartment for 6 persons (no. 10) for our Cilentano guests:
The lower floor includes the kitchen-living-dining room (with TV), the bathroom (with shower/bidet/WC) as well as a twin bedroom. The two other bedrooms, a twin and a double, as well as a half bath are found on the upper floor of the apartment. 

Each apartment at Il Casone includes a furnished terrace with panoramic view as well as central heating. A washing machine in the main building can be used for a fee. Parking is available on the premises of the country estate.

Bookings of the other three Il Casone apartments can be arranged upon request. Each of these apartments includes a kitchen-living-dining room and a bathroom; one sleeps 6 persons, the other two sleep 4 persons (double bed, bunk bed) each.

On the ground floor of Il Casone, there is a so-called "sala degustazione", where you may taste the olive oil produced on the estate as well as Cilento specialties.

Pool, fitness room and more

A fitness room with sauna and the outdoor 7 m x 15 m pool with small bar can be used by all the guests of the country estate. You might add one of the following extras (additional charge) to your personal feel-good program: Pilates classes, a relaxing massage, pedicure and manicure.

For children there is a special play area with roundabout in the rambling olive grove. Outside high season, they can bake pizza and bread in the stone oven with Grazia, Caterina and Nello.

Enjoy the advantages of holidays in green surroundings: Stroll through the shady, centuries-old olive groves down to the river, the natural boundary of the property, or go for hikes into the surrounding mountains and enjoy fantastic panoramic views.
