Further details for this holiday castle rental in Viterbo Province, Italy

The Environment -- Nature and History: San Francesco 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, 5th century 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 View As You Have Never Seen Before: 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 -- most likely the best one you have enjoyed in your life. Obviously this is Tuscia!

The Best of Leisure: Thanks to a large, shady yard featuring a barbecue, a swimming pool, a vine trellis, 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 featuring 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 of Italy.

Other Activities: Winery tour; Archaeological sites; Gourmet food; Flea/Antique shopping (markets, stores).

Review Submitted: December 6, 2007 Date of Stay: December 2007
What a stunning house San Francesco is! We spend 2 marvellous weeks there in total relax and enjoyment for the beautiful environment, the food and the cities nearby -- you can actually BREATH history there. The property is gorgeous and so is its furniture, its outside, the pool and all the rest. We vouch for San Francesco 100% [Hans & Petra Holzbauer] -- Great, amazingly beautiful place photos cannot really describe, with a special flavour and plenty of quiet and comfort. The countryside is probably the most beautiful one I have ever seen and the owners are great people. Will come back, definitely [Charles D. Montgomery]. No comparison. Cannot afford to miss. [John S. Saville].

Review Submitted: January 6, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2008
Our stay was truely amasing, we came as family and friends to celebrate a 60th and all had a great time, sencery is fanastic. House has great character. We had our 16 month old with us who had a great stay as far as the working farm is concerned, to be able to walk daily to the horses, donkey's, pigs he was in heaven. My partner proposed weeks later and we are now looking to see if we can get married at the house in 2010 as views are stunning, thansk to the owners they made our stay prefect
