known as an important settlement from Etruscan times (a burial-place dating from the 7th century BC to the 2nd AD has been recently excavated on the property), La Foce has been continuously inhabited for many centuries.
The Villa itself which is available for weddings, celebrations, events and family reunions etc, was built in the late 15th century as a hostel for pilgrims and merchants travelling on this busy road. In 1924 it was lived in by Antonio and Iris Origo and the Villa became full of life and a prosperous farming center. The renowned gardens, designed for Iris by the English architect Cecil Pinsent, are considered today to represent the ideal combination between the natural landscape and XXth-century architecture, blending Italian and English traditions.As mentioned early there are many medieval towns close to the property such as :
