Le Skæbne, feernes hus

A warm and welcoming farmhouse in the countryside right outside Spoleto, ideal both as a very comfortable base from which to explore the hillside towns of Umbria as well as a peaceful place to stroll around and just enjoy a relaxing afternoon by the swimming pool. The food prepared by the owner herself is lovely, too!

All the reviews are true, this is a lovely property and great place for a vacation! My wife and I spent a week there in September and enjoyed the relaxing setting. Genevra has put great effort into making this property feel like home and it certainly does with every detail attended to with great perfection! She and Luigi are exceptional hosts and make the stay most pleasant. We particularly enjoyed our private terrace where we relaxed with a glass of wine every evening as the sun set. Genevra also had excellent suggestions for restaurants in the area. Spoleto is close by and a beautiful and relaxing town and there are many options for day trips in the area. We highly recommend this property and would absolutely love to make a return visit!

We loved our stay at Eremo delle Fate, the house was stylish and comfortable and private and we had a pretty garden with stunning views. There are 2 wonderful pools, one is huge which the kids adored and the other is higher up, very romantic with an incredible view of the countryside surrounding Spoleto and bearing dramatic sunsets. Spoleto is very attractive and culturally rich. The architecture is breathtaking. My son wants to say that he loved the pool and the pizza night that Ginevra organised on our last night. Thank you Ginevra for giving us a wonderful holiday and for cooking us 2 absolutely delicious suppers. We would love to return.

We stayed in Eremo Delle Fate for a week in June last year. We had such a lovely relaxing time. Our only regret was that our stay was not longer. There were so many things we did not get around to doing - we were always torn between staying around gorgeous Eremo Delle Fate and exploring the many attractions around Spoleto. The Marini family were outstanding in their welcome and it was so interesting talking to Ginevra's parents about life growing up in Rome etc. The Marinis organised a trip to the Shepherds restaurant in the hills around Spoleto and a pizza party in the lovely grounds of Eremo Delle Fate where we got to eat some fabulous homemade pizza and meet the other guests - a great evening. Ginevra's Mam also gave my 2 daughters and myself a cooking lesson in the restaurant which was really enjoyable. Ginevra organised a rafting trip which was such terrific fun. When the weather wasn't great, we found lovely movies in the apartment and enjoyed watching 'Under the Tuscan Sun' and 'My house in Umbria' in the heart of the gorgeus hills of Spoleto. The standard of accomodation, the grounds, the pools, the view etc were second-to-none. We have so many lovely memories of a great holiday. Unfortunately we are not holidaying in Italy this year - if we were we would surely be returning to Eremo Delle Fate.
