Dream property for sale
Welcome to Villa “La Contessa”, an enchanting sanctuary nestled in the heart of Rome. This dream
property offers a tranquil escape from the bustling city life, combining luxurious family living with breath-
taking gardens. Steeped in history and intricately connected to the Vatican, this remarkable property
complex lies just moments away from the awe-inspiring St. Peter’s Basilica, spanning an expansive 3
hectares (30,000 sq m) of land.

Two residential properties
Comprising of two residential properties, each with its own distinctive charm, including an attached
warehouse and outbuilding, Villa “La Contessa” exudes elegance at every turn. This dream property
boasts two gardens, a meticulously manicured lawn garden and an Italian-style masterpiece, a delightful
outdoor swimming pool, a free-standing colonnade, three graceful fountains, a charming open pavilion, a
fully functional well, and a grand gazebo.

The catacombs
However, the true allure of Villa “La Contessa” lies beyond the iron cast gate, concealing a secret of
immense historical significance, the catacombs known as ‘Dei Due Felici,’ where the remains of two
former Popes rest. The keys to this gate are safeguarded by the esteemed archaeological team at the
Vatican, underscoring the profound connection this estate shares with Rome’s illustrious past.

Highly coveted address
Access to Villa “La Contessa” is granted via two driveways, each with its own pedestrian entrance, from
the highly coveted addresses of Via Aurelia Antica and Via Leone XIII. Ascending to the higher level, you’ll
discover the main property, spanning 350 sq m over two meticulously designed levels. Adjacent to it, the
second property, a more contemporary addition, offers a single-level layout spanning 130 sq m,
accompanied by a warehouse (40 sq m) and an outbuilding (50 sq m).

192 sq m gazebo
The sprawling grounds of Villa “La Contessa” are thoughtfully divided across two distinct levels. On the
lower level, a picturesque 700 sq m equipped lawn garden captivates with its verdant beauty,
accompanied by a magnificent 192 sq m gazebo�`an idyllic space for relaxation and indulgence.

A haven of serenity
Experience the harmonious blend of history, luxury, and natural splendor that defines Villa “La
Contessa”, a haven of serenity awaiting those seeking an extraordinary escape in the heart of Rome.

Main building
The ground floor of the building spans approximately 150 square meters and consists of several well-
designed spaces. It includes a spacious and uniquely shaped living room, a kitchen diner with a veranda,
a utility room with a bathroom, a guest toilet, and a cellar. Additionally, there are two expansive covered
arcades, one at the front and another at the back of the building. Connecting the two floors is an elegant
oval-shaped staircase designed by renowned architect Marcello Piacentini.

Moving up to the first floor, you will find a comfortable sitting room, a corridor, and three bedrooms, each
accompanied by its own bathroom. One of the bedrooms boasts a fireplace and a terrace, providing a
cozy and scenic atmosphere. Access to this floor is also available through an exterior staircase located in
the paved courtyard on the southeast side of the building.

The roof of the structure is inclined and covered with tiles and terracotta COPPI, giving it a charming and
traditional appearance.

Secondary building
This single-story building, more recent than the main structure, has undergone recent renovations in a
portion of its space. However, the remaining part, measuring approximately 130 square meters, requires
restructuring as per an authorised project by the local government. The design features a spacious
central living room, three bedrooms each with its own bathroom, and a kitchen-diner.

The renovated section of the building, covering an area of 50 square meters, comprises a cozy sitting
room with a fireplace and an open-plan kitchen. It also includes a bathroom and a bedroom with a loft.
Connecting these two sections is a 40-square-meter warehouse. Access to the apartments is facilitated
by a courtyard adorned with citrus trees.

The roof of the building is characterised by a sloping pitch and is adorned with tiles and terracotta COPPI,
adding to its aesthetic appeal.
