About the host

I currently live in Rome. The Villa is my holiday paradise
Why they chose this property
The property holds a lot of memories for the family. It has been used as a barn (1888), a house and for the relatively recent years (last 40 years) as holiday villa. All the gardens, pool area and house extensions have been constructed with a lot of care and devotion. We have transformed the arid landscape of the region into a small oasis. Many of the summer memories of the family rely on this beautiful piece of land. We hope our guest enjoy it as much as we hope to pass it on to our next generation of the Sansonetti family.
What makes this property unique
The house has a unusual architecture and a deep family history. The pool area and gardens have a very romantic setting. Many local brides and grooms have posed for their wedding pictures in our villa
