This extraordinary historical villa on the edge of the Appia Antica Archaeological Park in Rome is now for sale. The property covers an interior surface area of 1,040 sqm, offering a perfect combination of elegance and comfort.

The villa is surrounded by a garden of approximately 6,500 sqm with ample parking space.

This property for sale is located in a privileged position at the beginning of the Appia Antica Park, one of Rome's most fascinating and historically significant green areas. Only 10 minutes from the Aventine and the city centre, this estate offers a rare combination of tranquillity and proximity to Rome's main attractions. The surrounding area is rich in history, with spectacular views of archaeological sites such as the Catacombs of San Callisto, and allows one to enjoy walks in one of the capital's most evocative parks.

The villa is part of the ancient Tenuta di Tor Marancia, acquired in 1797 by Duke Luigi Braschi Onesti, nephew of Pope Pius VI. Over the centuries, the property has seen the passage of various noble families until it was inherited in the 1950s by Emanuele De Villefranche, who transformed the original farmhouse into a luxury estate. De Villefranche, who was known for his love of architecture, collaborated with the painters Pagliari and Corelli and the architect Hoerner to restore the villa, which is now recognised as an Asset of Historical Significance by the Municipality of Rome. The current ownership has recently carried out a complete restoration to preserve and enhance the historical elegance of the villa, integrating it with modern comforts.

The villa, distributed on two levels, features refined interiors and well-organised spaces. The ground floor houses the 170-sqm main hall, flooded with natural light thanks to the large windows that offer an evocative view of the garden. Next door, the 120-sqm ancient hall with an additional 65-sqm garden. The interior spaces have been designed to host prestigious events, with thermoregulated systems to ensure maximum comfort in all seasons. The professional kitchens, located on the lower floor, have been designed to facilitate the express preparation of high-quality dishes, ideal for banquets and catering. Inside the property are six comfortable flats.

The villa's exteriors are equally spectacular, with a 6,500-sqm garden surrounded by the greenery of the Appia Antica Archaeological Park. The garden, adorned with centuries-old pine and lime trees, is perfect for hosting outdoor events, with the capacity to accommodate up to 300 guests. The 470-sqm panoramic terrace offers an exclusive space for receptions, with a unique view of the archaeological area. The elegant gazebos and relaxing lounges, combined with dedicated spaces for music, make this villa an ideal venue for unforgettable ceremonies. A big internal car park completes the property, guaranteeing maximum convenience for guests.
