gardens and including a large swimming pool, this is a truly impressive holiday rental villa.  Well placed for
sightseeing trips to the many historic towns and cities close by, each of the three houses is attractively
furnished and well appointed.  The surrounding hills offer excellent walks or longer hikes for the more

L'Essicatoio
Casa Mazzaforte is
over 400 years old.  
The three buildings
are close enough
together for it to feel
like a hamlet.  As well
as the main garden,
to which guests have
unrestricted access,
both Casa Verde and
L'Essicatoio have their
own private gardens.
These pictures were taken at iris time, when the garden is at its
colourful best.
