Apartment In Historical Villa

Description

A portion of a beautiful villa, a very special home, originally a 1st Century AD Roman residence (there are archaeological remains in the upper garden that form part of the National Collection of Archeology in the archives of the Museo Altemps in the centre of Rome, near Piazza Navona). We have full historical documentation available for our guests. The Villa has undergone several changes, from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, through to the 18th Century, when the Villa became the hunting lodge of a Cardinal from the Torlonia family, hence the name Il Cardinale. This wonderful residence has four units that can be rented together or separately.
There is a fireplace in the sitting area, and a fully equipped kitchen in the apartment and lovely corners of the garden to have lunch or dinner in any season.
The main bedroom is en suite, one more en suite room has its own entrance and the kitchen off it. This room is a dining room with a kitchen and a sofa bed, that can be used for an extra guest. The other two double/twin bedrooms share a bathroom. All bedrooms are air conditioned.
There is plenty of storage and the owner is happy to share the large garden and the pool.
The owner is also happy to help with any information about local amenities. We offer cooking lessons, yoga sessions, and tours of Rome. We can organise transport and guided tours of the region, as well as wine tasting and restaurant booking on request (as extras).
A full concierge service is also available on request (as an extra).

We have a swimming pool, an outdoor, covered Shala for yoga retreats, to be shared during your stay either with the owners (if they are at home) or with another group who might rent the other portion of the villa. We offer services according to the needs of our guests.

The upper floor opens onto a delightful garden with an ancient Roman archaeological area, complete with comfortable garden furniture, lights.

There are several areas for outdoor eating under spectacular Roman pine trees.
All around there are fruit trees and wonderfully secluded areas of the garden.

Il Cardinale is ideal for lovers of style and space in the close vicinity of Rome.

Own car recommended. However there is also public transport, two buses, 5 minutes walk away, and a train from the Settebagni station to Stazione Tiburtina and other stops in the centre of Rome only 7 minutes drive away. Saxa Rubra is also a useful station for a train that reaches Piazzale Flaminio (next to Piazza del Popolo).

PLEASE BE CLEAR that you are renting only a PORTION of the whole villa, the upper right wing of the villa.
