Centrally situated in the countryside, near the Tuscan/Umbrian border, this new Country Estate Resort and Luxury Homes in Umbria – the green heart of Italy-has been awarded ‘Best Development in Italy’. Re-creating a medieval Borgo (hamlet) it brings together ancient building methods and new technologies for a modern concept of living.

The small medieval town of Ficulle, only 15 kilometres from Orvieto, is the ideal base from which to explore the ancient culture and civilisation of this most rewarding area of Italy. Food and wine lovers adore it and you will be amazed at what you can find when you start to discover this magical area.

On the top of a hill dominating the Valle del Chiani, Ficulle was always in history connected to nearby Orvieto. It was under the Filippeschi and later Monaldeschi family, to be finally included in the Church State in 1461 and to Italy in 1861. The economy is based on wine production and on traditional crafts such as clay pottery, wrought iron and woodwork.

The new ground floor apartment is furnished in a rustic design in keeping with the building style and is very comfortable for 4 adults and 2 children (3 separate bedrooms).
