The Montecalvo farmhouse is an isolated Maremma farmhouse on the border between Lazio and Tuscany, in the Tuscan-Lazio Maremma, an unspoiled place where nature still has its intact look.
The old hunting lodge is part of a 750-hectare property of woodland, Mediterranean scrub and meadows, which descend from the top of the Castro Mountains, bordering southern Tuscany, to the Fiora River. The view sweeps down to the sea.
The farmhouse was originally used as a hunting lodge for big game drives in the surrounding mountains within the estate, converted in recent years into an accommodation business by the current owners. The entire structure, consisting of 6 apartments with 9 rooms and 7 bathrooms, is rented.
Although the building has been modified to make it usable for guests, it maintains its original layout with arches, fireplaces, wooden beams and terracotta floors. The farmhouse is on two floors and is currently divided into six apartments: the first five are located on the ground floor, each with independent access and kitchenette, while the sixth is located in the upper part, where there is an old hunting salon and a large kitchen, in addition to the various bedrooms.
Outside you are surrounded by large gardens, a large swimming pool, tables for dining, and barbecue area.
The place is idealfor walking or horseback riding along the many ancient paths left by coal miners, whose pitches where charcoal was made are still visible. Depending on the season you can pick mushrooms, strawberry trees, blackberries, flowers and other undergrowth products, encounter badgers, porcupines, wild boars and deer. The night can offer an exceptional starry sky.
Montecalvo is at the center of an Etruscan and medieval area and is therefore an ideal starting point for visiting very interesting places such as: ruins of Castro; Hermitages; Vulci and its thermal baths; Sovana; Pitigliano; Tarquinia; Cosa; and Saturnia and its thermal baths. Guests who like to travel can reach Rome; Viterbo; Orvieto; Siena and Florence.
The most pleasant seasons for cultural tourism are spring and fall, while in summer the property is a convenient residence for reaching Lake Bolsena and the beaches of the Tyrrhenian Sea.
