What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Tenuta di Canonica is surrounded by acres of them, as well as olive and citrus groves, and beyond that, lush forest.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Perched above the Tiber Valley, the secluded estate looks out over Lake Corbara just six kilometers from the citadel of Todi.
The rooms
Exposed stone vaulting, terracotta tiles, and Montefalco linens frame the interiors, with ground-floor garden suites opening onto private furnished porches.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The outdoor swimming pool sits among olive groves, with wooden loungers looking out across the Tiber Valley.
Treatments
Deep tissue massages and facials take place in dedicated treatment rooms or outdoors in the garden.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Regional Umbrian dishes are served indoors beside a stone fireplace, or on the ivy-covered brick terrace overlooking the valley.
How it began
Medieval stonework rises directly from ancient Roman brick foundations, centered around a seventeenth-century water mill beside the Verga stream.
