Extraordinary Spaces

The Living Room

The main living room, with a total surface area of 330 sqm (3550 sq ft), is a masterpiece of light and style. Divided into three connected areas, the living room is enriched by large windows offering stunning views of the garden and three fireplaces creating a cozy atmosphere. Every detail reflects the refined taste of the owner, a collector of ancient artifacts who has decorated the space with statues and marble finds dating back 2400 years. This is the perfect place to welcome guests with class and warmth.

The Secret Grotto

At the heart of the villa lies a secret grotto, a magical space that was once an ancient Roman room, now transformed into a fascinating dining area. The floor is made of original Roman marble mosaic depicting the Greek Gorgon Medusa, and the vault features a glass chandelier, creating a unique and suggestive atmosphere.

The Garden and the Second Residence

The villa stands on a promontory of solidified lava, from which the ancient Romans extracted basalt to build the Appian Way. This natural amphitheater gives the property a majestic and unique appearance.

In the garden, personally designed and manicured by the owner, a landscape architect, there is another romantic structure with a Provençal air. This former stable, now renovated, is a charming 600 sqm space, perfect for parties and family gatherings, with a main 300 sqm area equipped with a professional kitchen and original furnishings from Italy and Northern Europe.

Technical and Luxury Details

The villa, designed by the renowned architect Busiri Vici, extends over 800 sqm (8611 sq ft) on two floors, served by an elevator that leads to the upper terrace. The main residence includes five bedrooms, each with a private bathroom, a library, a winter garden, and a terrace. The property also features a swimming pool, a garage, a small house for the gardeners, and a room for household staff.

A Tranquil Oasis Close to the Center of Rome

Despite its quiet and peaceful location, the villa is strategically positioned to easily reach the center of Rome and the city's main districts.
