Roman Villa/portion for 6 guests/air con/large garden/pool/hot tub/8km to centre

This is my family home and I care for it together with my partner, Alex, and my lovely staff, Stefania, my housekeeper, her husband Paolo, and other lovely people. You will be renting a portion of the whole villa.

DESCRIPTION OF THE VILLA:
This is a beautiful and very special villa, a unique property where you will made to feel at home. It was 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.

The main bedroom has a large double bed and en suite shower room. The other two double bedrooms share a bathroom. The bedrooms are air conditioned. The large garden and the pool are shared between guests.

We can organise transport and guided tours of the region, as well as wine tasting and restaurant booking on request (as extras).
A concierge service is also available on request (as an extra).

We have a swimming pool (fee of €30 per day), a hot tub (fee of €40 per day) to be shared during your stay either with the owners (if they are at home) or with other guests who might rent the bigger portion of the villa between 11 am and 5pm.

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 olive trees and wonderfully secluded areas of the garden.

Villa il Cardinale is ideal for lovers of style and space in the close vicinity of Rome. Own car needed. There is some 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. You may drive to Saxa Rubra where there is a train that reaches Piazzale Flaminio (next to Piazza del Popolo).

PLEASE NOTE that you are renting only a PORTION of the whole villa, an upstairs wing of the villa.

CANCELLATION POLICY
We prefer a strict cancellation policy because we want to be sure that whoever chooses Villa il Cardinale does it with commitment and enthusiasm, just as we ourselves welcome our guests.
