From the slender cypresses standing sentinel along its driveway to the majestic ceiling beams crowning its interiors, Villa Forconi is the epitome of a classic Italian country retreat. Nestled within its own woodland and surrounded by rolling hills, this handsome Umbrian home feels blissfully secluded, yet offers sweeping views that stretch as far as the central Apennines on a clear day.
Timeless in appearance yet wonderfully comfortable inside, Forconi has been thoughtfully designed for relaxed holiday living — ideal for families or two to three couples. Spend tranquil days beside the 12-metre gated pool, with ample garden space for play and leisure. Enjoy leisurely alfresco lunches beneath the shaded dining terrace, or prepare local delicacies in the beautifully equipped kitchen-diner that opens straight onto the garden. For those visiting in spring or autumn, nearby hiking trails wind through enchanting countryside, while late-season evenings invite you to cosy up beside one of the villa’s two open fireplaces as the scent of wood smoke fills the air.
Whatever the season, Villa Forconi offers the perfect base for exploring Umbria and eastern Tuscany. Picturesque Lake Trasimeno lies just 8km away, with the excellent Lo Scoiattolo restaurant — famed for its lake views and exquisite cuisine — only a ten-minute drive. Try boating, canoeing or windsurfing at Passignano sul Trasimeno, or follow scenic trails right from your doorstep. Within an hour’s drive, discover Cortona, Perugia, and the wine mecca of Montepulciano, each offering a taste of Italy’s timeless charm.
Please note: There is an open staircase to the mezzanine floors. Children must be supervised when using them. The surrounding woodlands are great for exploring – please accompany children at all times as some of the stepping stones may be slippery.
