In Castel Gandolfo, among the historic villas that have welcomed the Roman aristocracy for centuries and the residences nestled in the greenery of the Castelli Romani, this impressive villa of approximately 1,000 sqm stands at the heart of a flat, fully enclosed park covering some 3.5 hectares. The long, tree-lined approach leads guests towards the main building, introducing them to a natural setting of olive trees, lavender, aromatic plants, fruit trees and flowering shrubs, arranged with great care by a garden designer to enhance the views and vantage points. The villa’s understated architecture harmonises with the surrounding greenery, whilst the evening and night-time lighting highlights the pathways, fountains and the most romantic corners of the grounds.Outside, the grounds are divided into several functional ‘islands’, designed to accommodate tables, gazebos, stages and lounges depending on the intended use. The swimming pool, with its intricate shape and paved edge, is equipped with evening lighting and serves as the dramatic centrepiece for aperitifs, lunches and dinners al fresco during the summer season. The nearby main patio, with unobstructed views of the countryside and, on clear days, as far as the horizon, provides a further natural setting for receptions and moments of relaxation. The guarded on-site car park, with direct access from the main road and capacity for around 120 cars and two coaches, ensures convenient and secure management even for large-scale events, whilst maintaining a high level of privacy at all times thanks to the perimeter fencing and controlled access system.Ref. 15483https://www.lionard.com/villa-spectacular-park-pool-castel-gandolfo.html
