Our story: embracing the art of slow living in Umbria. We are Carmen and Emanuele, a couple of entrepreneurs united by a profound love for Italy and an unwavering passion for crafting exceptional, soulful experiences for our guests. After 37 years abroad, our journey brought us to a shared dream: to create a space where the beauty of Umbria could be truly felt and savored. In 2011, what is now Lemon Tree Boutique Guesthouse was a roofless, silent ruin, yet even then, it had immense potential. Following a meticulous restoration by its previous owners, who transformed it into a charming guesthouse, we gratefully took the reins in 2025. From that moment, we are pouring our hearts into enriching Lemon Tree Boutique Guesthouse, infusing it with our vision of slow living and mindful hospitality. Our goal extends beyond simply offering you a beautiful home for your stay in Umbria. We invite you to step into a rhythm of life where time slows down, moments are savored, and mindfulness flourishes. Here, amidst the tranquil landscapes and the gentle pace of Umbrian life, we hope you'll find space to reconnect with yourselves and with what truly matters. We strive to create not just memories, but experiences that deeply inspire you to return, again and again, to this special corner of the world. We eagerly await the opportunity to welcome you, to share our passion, and to help you discover the serene magic of Umbria.

Welcome to Todi! Welcome to the Lemon Tree Boutique Guesthouse — your home in Umbria and the perfect base for exploring the green heart of Italy. At Lemon Tree, we offer six bespoke bedrooms, breathtaking views and an unbeatable location for a stay you won't forget. The property is located in the historic center of Todi, a town known to be "the most livable city in the world".

Todi, the little biggest city in the world. Perched high on a hilltop and wrapped in ancient stone walls, Todi is one of Italy’s best-kept secrets—a place where life slows down and every day feels like a return to something genuine and lasting. Visitors are enchanted by Todi’s fairytale atmosphere: narrow cobblestone alleys, sweeping views of the Umbrian countryside, and a medieval piazza often called one of the most beautiful in Italy. But what truly sets Todi apart is the lifestyle. Here, meals are never rushed, conversation flows naturally, and community is woven into daily life. Our guests often tell us how easy it is to feel at home in Todi. You’ll find family-run restaurants serving fresh, local dishes—like handmade pasta with regional truffles and wine from nearby vineyards. Festivals, art exhibitions, and cultural events bring both locals and internationals together in joyful celebration. Whether you’re wandering ancient streets, watching hot air balloons rise above the rooftops, or simply enjoying a slow afternoon in the shade of an olive tree, Todi invites you to reconnect—with yourself, with others, and with the beauty of living well. Come experience the peaceful rhythm of Todi. We look forward to welcoming you.
