The estate spans the beautiful regions of Umbria and Tuscany, with Latium just a stone’s throw away. Nestled on a charming mountain, it enjoys a prime location ideal for a variety of excursions, right in the heart of Italy. The property is only 18 km from the A1 motorway and 12 km from Chiusi, where you can catch a train to either Rome or Florence. The estate is set at an altitude of 450 to 650 meters above sea level, offering an enviable climate year-round, with pleasant winters and summers.
Once a hunting lodge, the estate stretches across 750 acres of stunning natural beauty, with forests, olive groves, lakes, and breathtaking views.
Le Foresterie is the first house you’ll encounter when arriving from Tuscany. A 3 km unpaved road leads from the village, followed by another 1.5 km from the entrance to Foresteria, offering access to the other entrance at 800 meters, which connects to another village. It’s the perfect spot for those seeking a “slow holiday,” where you can relax, daydream, listen to the sounds of the woods, and gaze at the stars at night.
The Foresteria complex consists of three homes that I rent out within the 740-acre estate of forests, olive groves, and fields. It's hard to capture the essence of the place in words, but it’s located between Rome and Florence, nestled in the heart of Umbria and Tuscany.
Foresteria 3 is a charming apartment ideal for 5 guests, located within the Foresteria complex.
