Stunning historic villa in the heart of the ancient castle of Forcoli, in a panoramic position overlooking the Era valley, within a complex that still retains architectural elements dating from between the 16th and 18th centuries.

Access to the property is through a majestic arched bridge, framed by twin towers spanning five levels.

The villa, on three levels, has a longitudinal plan with two side wings facing a large square raised by an embankment. Beneath it are large cellars with cross vaults, while the distinctive element of the main facade is an imposing projecting portico supported by columns, culminating in a terrace overlooking the landscape.
Beneath the large panoramic terrace are the ancient granaries, also spread over two floors with cross vaults, where the first drying of grain was once carried out.

At the rear, a hanging passage connects the villa to a building of rural origin, once the site of the farm and now used as a residence. Inside, on the ground floor, there is a small private theater in 18th-century style, with stalls punctuated by Tuscan columns, a gallery with a wooden parapet, floral frescoes and a painted set depicting a garden.

On the main floor, once occupied by large halls facing the main facade, are now smaller subdivided rooms, many of which are decorated with bucolic-themed frescoes, painted architecture and ornamental motifs. In two rooms valuable frescoes with mythological figures in illusionistic niches have been recovered.

Historic rooms used by servants, such as the old kitchen on the first mezzanine level, and a second small semicircular theater, a rare example of 18th-century private theater architecture, complete the property.

In the heart of the Pisan hills, Forcoli is a quiet and well-served location, immersed in nature but convenient to the main services. Just minutes from Pontedera and easily connected to the main roads, it is ideal for those seeking relaxation without sacrificing convenience. The area is appreciated for its green setting, quality of life and proximity to historic villages and Tuscan food and wine itineraries.
