Overview
Since its construction in 312BC the via Appia has led south-eastwards from Rome into a splendidly lush and hilly area dotted with small lakes, known today as the Colli Albani. Well-heeled Romans come here to escape the city’s bustle and heat and explore the thirteen Castelli Romani, lovely old villages that evolved from medieval castles. Villa delle Lance is nestled between two of these: Castel Gandolfo, where the Pope has his summer residence, and flower-filled Genzano, with its caffès and restaurants. As peaceful as the setting is, a direct train line makes the centre of Rome accessible within minutes. The villa was built by a famous Italian architect of the 1950s, whose clever design includes open loggias and west-facing terraces that capture the breezes and wonderful views as far as the sea. The lowest terrace is occupied by a large swimming pool. Inside, the rooms are simple but nicely decorated in a blend of contemporary furnishings and antiques, and all living areas on the lower two floors open to the loggias or garden. |
