A Medieval defence and a watch tower, then a Franciscan convent and now a beautifully restored country mansion – this is San Francesco, our prestigious property located near Viterbo, the very heart of Tuscia, only a few miles from some of the major Central Italian art cities such as Rome, Florence, Siena, Orvieto, Assisi, Spoleto and more.
Featuring 7 large, bright, comfortable bedrooms all en-suite, a fully furnished kitchen-dining area, a beautiful lounge, a great patio with a bread-baking oven, excellent antique and craft furniture and decoration, timber ceilings, cotto floors, open fireplaces and more, the house sits on top of a hill and is surrounded by several acres of farmland. There we grow organic corn, beans, grain and olives, make pure extra-virgin olive oil and also breed horses, donkeys and Maremmana cattle.
Within the boundaries of the property the remains of an Etruscan village – Acquarossa, 5 centuries b.C. – are interspersed with some Etruscan tumbs and grottoes and can be seen as they were excavated by King Gustav Adolf of Sweden back in the 60’s and 70’s. A dramatic view over the valley with several streams surrounding the entire property and the Roman city of Ferento with the Cimini mountains in the background complete San Francesco’s gorgeous landscape.
Thanks to a large, shady yard featuring a barbecue, a wonderful, newly-built swimming pool, chairs and tables and plenty of room both outside and inside our guests can enjoy al-fresco dining, fun and relax at their best. Quiet and pastoral atmosphere, wonderful walking trails and a wide variety of interesting locations with art, antique stores, typical markets, wineries and excellent restaurants in the premises make of San Francesco the ideal headquarters to thoroughly explore one of the most interesting and fascinating regions in Italy.
San Francesco is located 6 kms. north of Viterbo on the Teverina road and is conveniently accessible from the A1 highway – exit Orte – and the Viterbo speedway.
TESTIMONIALS =
"The property and the surroundings are just beautiful, it is quiet and peaceful, just what is needed for a perfect vacation. Close to many different points of interests." (Francois P., Canada)
"We - 12 danes - enjoyed a fantastic week in San Francesco. The house is beautiful and very tastefully restored, the view and surroundings wonderful - and the nearby city of Viterbo was fantastic. All in all - one of the best holiday houses we've ever stayed in." (Morten B., Denmark)
"La casa era splendida, con una posizione stupenda e totalmente immersa nella campagna, ma comunque molto vicina a Viterbo. Era poi arredata sobriamente ma elegantemente, in uno stile consono al contesto. Qualche piccolo problema alle attrezzature, risolto però tempestivamente dai proprietari." (Lorenzo T., Italy)
"Un posto veramente incantevole, silenzioso, con un panorama rilassante. Il casale è splendido, spazioso e ogni persona può godere della sua privacy." (Rachele M., Italy)
"Il casale e' bellissimo, tenuto molto bene ed in un contesto meraviglioso; Lara e' stata molto disponibile e cordiale. Contiamo di tornarci appena possibile!" (Massimo R., Italy)
