Description

PRIVATE STRUCTURE (lease only CIR CODE: 058050-CAV-00006; CIN CODE: IT058050C2RSTEXFP6). Past an austere gate, at the end of a paved driveway surrounded by lush greenery, villa looms up unexpectedly against the backdrop of a courtyard in peperino with all the light that its three whitewashed floors and large windows can reflect. The villa takes its name from the town in which it stands, Lanuvio, one of the seventeen Castelli Romani rich in history, folklore, traditions and food and wine culture. Built in the '70s, it has been completely renovated by the current owners with the architectural criteria of material contamination in '50s style. The ground floor is dominated by the spiral staircase, by a sculpture in porous stone which characterizes the living area together with the cylindrical fireplace in embossed bronze foil, the sofas, the sculptures and the other unique pieces which, together with the owners' travel souvenirs, have made villa a contemporary, dynamic and captivating residence. The tempered glass windows blend with the shiny galvanized steel of the portico structure, anchoring it the ground and projecting it to the first floor where the pool “enters” the study on one side and “exits” from an infinity waterfall wall on the other. The burnt anthracite-coloured flooring of the large portico and the dark brown teak of the pool area and external perimeter of the first floor stand out clearly and cleanly, creating a connection between the villa and the outdoor areas. villa is completely air conditioned and soundproofed and all the bedrooms are fitted with top of the range Flou beds so as to ensure complete rest and comfort. Relaxation and wellbeing continue with the indoor Turkish bath and hydromassage tub and with the outdoor hydromassage shower adjacent to the portico.

Interior

The 350 sq m villa has three floors and is accessed via the two large French windows of the kitchen and the dining room which, together with the living room with fireplace, form the large open-plan area of the ground floor; a hallway leads to the bathroom with shower and Turkish bath and to the bathroom with tub. On the first floor the study opens out onto the portico just a few steps from the pool and into the hallway leading to a double bedroom with ensuite bathroom with shower, to a double bedroom with outside access and to a bathroom with hydromassage tub. On the third floor are three double bedrooms and a bathroom with tub and shower. The floors are connected by the internal staircase.

Park

The fenced-in park of Villa villa with its 5500 sq m contains many trees and flowers typical of this hill area of Lazio that brighten the driveway, the parking areas and the courtyard in front of the entrance; pines, olives, holm oaks, hydrangeas, rose bushes, jasmine, bignonias, wisteria, lilies, petunias, oleanders, pomegranates, lemons, rosemary, pittosporum, laurel and acanthus: this last is widespread at villa and is the symbol on the Greek Corinthian capitals. Flights of steps and tuff paths criss-cross the property, connecting the various levels. From the electric gate, across the paved driveway, you come to the first parking level then, continuing past a fountain with water lilies, you come to a second parking level leading to the peperino-paved courtyard in front of the entrance to the villa. Here you will find a stone barbecue and an umbrella with a large round wooden table which constitute the practical and dynamic outdoor dining area, enlivened by the splashing water of the infinity pool that spills into the wall fountain behind it. The park consists of pleasant areas of lawn where you can relax in the shade or sunbathe by the pool and a children's play area.

Swimming Pool

The pool at villa is an infinity one, its waters flow into the wall fountain located at courtyard level on the ground floor. Rectangular-shaped, it measures 6 x 12 m with the depth varying from a few centimetres to 2.5 m in the centre. It has chlorine purification, internal lights, light blue PVC lining and is accessed down five steps. The pool is located on the first floor of the villa and faces south-west, looking out over the village of Genzano which at sunset lights up like a nativity scene. The solarium area consists of dark teak and lawn, as regards the area exposed to the sun, and of the portico for shade; it is provided with sunbeds, deckchairs, chaise longue and fine ash wood furnishings. It is reached, outside, along the steps and tuff paths and, inside, from the first floor study which opens directly onto the portico and from one of the double bedrooms; there is not, therefore, any physical or visual interruption between pool, portico and house. Completing the pool area is a kingsize shower stall with hot water, built in brick and fine mosaic of green Venetian grit. The pool is open from the last Saturday in April to the first Saturday in October.

Lanuvio stands on a hill of basaltic lava, surrounded by dark stone walls, on the border of the Regional Park of the Castelli Romani. It is one of the Borghi d'Italia and, together with the other 16 municipalities, is an integral and significant part of the Park for history, culture, traditions and natural beauties. It is surrounded by a mainly hilly landscape, dominated by agricultural cultivations, which at a higher altitude gives way to the lush vegetation of plane tree and chestnut coppices, the ideal habitat of moles, foxes, dormice, cuckoos, tits and finches; in the sunnier zones extend areas of Mediterranean scrub, composed mainly of holm oak, arbutus, mastic, heather, myrtle and broom. Despite the proximity to Rome, this area has managed to carve out its own independent space thanks to its natural, archaeological and cultural heritage and to the quality of life it offers, a clever and varied mix of opportunities and potentialities in which you can happily lose yourself. The Regional Park of the Castelli Romani was, in fact, established in 1984 precisely to protect the peculiarities of the 15 Castelli that occupy the ancient Vulcano Laziale (Latium Volcano). Lanuvio also offers a rich archeological itinerary, in particular the Temple of Juno, the remains of a Roman bridge (Loreto) in the countryside along the Via Astura and a cylindrical, superimposed medieval tower. Founded according to tradition by the Greeks, it reached its maximum splendour under Roman rule, also for the presence of the Sanctuary of Juno Sospita. It was devastated at the time of the barbarian invasions but was reborn before the year One Thousand. On the silvery background of the municipal coat of arms stands Lavinia, wife of Aeneas, in the act of hurling a spear and trampling a snake. The historic town centre presents works of great value, such as: the impressive Fountain of the Rocks by Carlo Fontana (pupil of Bernini); the bell tower of the Church of Santa Maria Maggiore by Tommaso Mattei (pupil of the rival Borromini); works of the painter Giulio Romano (pupil of Raphael). Lanuvio is located in the centre of the Colli Lanuvini DOC wine production area and is part of the Association of Wine Cities. It is 33 km from Rome which is also reachable by train in 45 minutes.
