Casa Fontanacce
The stone farmhouse looks out over olive trees to the wildlife sanctuary at Lago Alviano—a last gathering point of the Tiber above Rome.
Region
Umbria is Italy’s green heart: ancient hill towns, winding roads, dappled light, olives and grapes. Rome and Tuscany are accessible in an hour or two, as are famous beaches like Porto Ecole. Umbria’s ancient towns are full of history and culture, offering an authentic escape for hikers and cyclists. The countrysides are full of spectacular landscapes and restaurants. Architectural attractions abound, incuding Sacro Bosco, La Scarzuola, castles and cathedrals.
Home
Casa Fontanacce is a three-bedroom stone farmhouse with a grand fireplace. The house lies beneath two ancients castles and overlooks a valley with hundreds of olive and fruit trees and incredible wildlife. The neighboring historic towns of Guardea, Amelia, Lugnano in Teverina, Orvieto, and Alviano have exceptional restaurants, countrysides, and history.
Community
The spectacular hillside has a thriving international community of ex-pats and locals, across the picturesque small and mid-sized towns from Orvieto to Amelia. Your neighbors homes are ensconced in their own olive groves, each with hundreds of trees. Once you make some friends, countryside pools and wisteria-covered dinners await—there are ample opportunities for friends and family to visit and rent nearby.
