Splendid historical villa in the heart of the ancient castle of Forcoli, in a panoramic position on the valley of the Era, inside a complex that still preserves architectural elements dating back to the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries.
Access to the property is through a majestic arched bridge, framed by twin towers that spread over five levels.
The villa, arranged on three levels, has a longitudinal plan with two lateral wings overlooking a large square raised by an embankment. Below it are large cellars with cross vaults, while the distinctive element of the main façade is an imposing protruding portico supported by columns, culminating in a terrace overlooking the landscape.
Under the large panoramic terrace are the ancient granaries, also distributed on two floors with vaults, where once was carried out the first drying of wheat.
On the back, a passage connects the villa to a building of rural origin, once home of the farm and now used as a residence. Inside, on the ground floor, there is a small private theater in eighteenth-century style, with a stage punctuated by Tuscan columns, gallery with wooden parapet, floral frescoes and a painted scenography depicting a garden.
On the main floor, once occupied by large halls overlooking the main façade, there are now smaller rooms, many of which are decorated with bucolic-themed frescoes, painted architecture and ornamental motifs. In two rooms have been recovered valuable frescoes with mythological figures in illusionistic niches.
The property is completed by historic rooms used by servants, such as the old kitchen at the first mezzanine and a second small semi-circular theatre, a rare example of private theatre architecture dating back to the 18th century.
In the heart of the Pisan hills, Forcoli is a quiet and well-served resort, surrounded by nature but convenient to the main services. A few minutes from Pontedera and easily connected to the main roads, it is ideal for those looking for relaxation without sacrificing practicality. The area is appreciated for its green environment, quality of life, and proximity to historic villages and Tuscan food and wine itineraries.
