Historic Villa With Pool For Sale On The Appian Way In Rome

In the heart of Rome's Appia Antica Archaeological Park, this prestigious historic villa offers a rare combination of heritage, privacy and entertaining potential. Once associated with the Torlonia family, the residence stands within an archaeological area dating back to the 12th century. Renovated between 1910-1930, when it belonged to Banca dei Crociferi, it was acquired in the 1950s by the Duke of Warwick, cousin of Queen Elizabeth, who chose it as his Roman residence for its proximity to Cinecitt`a. The villa extends to 2,000 sqm of internal surface and is set within 1 hectare of carefully maintained grounds, including a swimming pool, a covered gazebo and a wooded area. The reception wing, currently used as an event venue, features grand halls with fully frescoed walls and ceilings, furnished in a period classical style. The property comprises ten double bedrooms and ten bathrooms, providing generous accommodation for private living, guests or prestigious events. Set in the exclusive Appia Antica area, surrounded by one of Rome's most evocative green and historic landscapes, this residence combines the tranquillity of a private estate with access to the cultural appeal of the Italian capital.Rif:5883
