Villa in city Rome
680.00 sq.m., 4 bedrooms

The villa consists of a main building of 680 square meters, a second building of 550 square meters in a wooded park, the apartment for the service people and the one for the gardener. The property is located on the Appian Way, the archaeological park, about 300 meters from the tomb of Cecilia Metella and only 10 minutes from the Coliseum. The Appia Antica Park is like a wedge that, starting from the Castelli Romani, creeps into town and brings its bucolic atmosphere almost in the center of Rome. A wall surrounds the property and three small entrance doors hide the complexity of living that lies beyond. The main house is on two floors. On the main entrance a Roman concrete archway and an impressive Roman mosaic made with ancient Roman original tesserae. On the ground floor there is an oval room that leads to the three main halls, which end up in an ancient Roman vaulted tuff room with mosaic floor, still with original tesserae, which represents the head of Medusa. An elevator leads you to the first floor and the upper terrace. The main staircase leads to the library, two main bedrooms, each with bathroom and dressing room. The main bedroom has two windows and a terrace that overlooks the garden. Also on this floor three other bedrooms with bathrooms, a lounge with screening room and a beautiful winter garden of the fifties. In the main building there are seven fireplaces. The house and part of the park are based on an ancient basalt quarry, used in Roman times to make the pavement. The quarry has created a gradient that contains a striking small valley. In the upper part of the garden there is a swimming pool with heated water where you can swim even in winter. A path, made of original calcareous stone paving, leads to the second building (550 square meters). Another part of this building is still being defined and could become a residential portion with indoor pool. Ciampino Airport is 10 minutes away and a helicopter can easily land on the great lawn.
