Country estate Le Favate - guest rooms in Terradura

Triad of history, nature and comfort

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

The country estate was erected in this place as early as the beginning of the 17th century.  The more than 3000 year-old salt road crossing the estate  reaches the Tyrrhenian Sea 5 km further on, near Velia (today’s Ascea). 

In spite of a great number of armed conflicts in times gone by, to which the loopholes of the buildings bear witness, Le Favate has, almost miraculously, survived intact over centuries. Today, after years of extensive renovation, it stands to be admired in all its splendor. 

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.

The main building includes a lovely private chapel, a lounge and dining hall as well as a terrace with sea view.

The guest rooms are located on the upper floor of the main building. The 14 guest rooms are spacious, tastefully and comfortably furnished. The furniture is hand-made. Your room includes fireplace or terracotta oven, Sat-TV, telephone and bathtub or shower with hydro massage.
