For sale villa, quiet zone Frascati Lazio

As we pass through the gate and walk down the entrance avenue of this extraordinary residence of great archaeological significance, we are immediately immersed in an atmosphere steeped in history, finding ourselves face-to-face with the imposing circular walled structure dating back to the Imperial period, which tradition identifies as the ancient summer residence of the valiant Roman general Lucullus.
This one-of-a-kind site is located in the Frascati area and has undergone various transformations over the centuries, once even housing a Benedictine church—hence the presence today of the ancient Romanesque bell tower, which was later enclosed within a defensive tower built by the Counts of Tuscolo.
However, the final layout was the work of the Annibaldi family in the mid-13th century; from then on, the site was constantly controlled by the most influential noble families that succeeded one another in the Castelli Romani region, until it became, around the mid-19th century, the private property of a prominent Tuscolan family.
Within the walls of the ancient tower stands the main residential complex, with a total area of approximately 900 square meters, surrounded by an enchanting garden that still abounds with well-preserved, highly prized original historical features. The central wing features sumptuous rooms and spacious hallways, superbly distributed across the property’s three levels. The two large reception rooms and the spectacular terraces on the second floor can be accessed by ascending the charming staircase housed within the ancient bell tower.
From here, your gaze will not only take in the picturesque panorama of the Castelli Romani but also admire the vast estate of over 2 hectares, primarily planted with productive olive groves.
Rounding out this one-of-a-kind property is a charming 90-square-meter guesthouse with a separate entrance, offering views of the lush olive groves.

The estate, with its spaces steeped in history, offers the opportunity to live in an incomparable setting, rich in charm, that blends the ancient with the modern, nestled in an area far from the chaos of the city yet, at the same time, well-connected to roads and highways (7 km from the Grande Raccordo Anulare, 20 km from the center of Rome, just 10 km from Ciampino Airport, and 35 km from Fiumicino International Airport—Leonardo da Vinci), all without sacrificing privacy or an unparalleled natural setting.
