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.
