In the Castelli Romani, in Grottaferrata, this distinguished 19th-century villa offers a rare balance of history, privacy and representational appeal, with panoramic views towards Rome. Restored in the early 20th century at the behest of Countess Mary Gayley Senni, the residence extends across 2 principal levels and provides 2,000 sqm of internal surface, with 15 principal suites and 12 bathrooms. Set within 2 hectares of centuries-old grounds, the estate is reached by an impressive tree-lined avenue leading to the Borghetto, an intimate gravel courtyard designed for welcoming guests. Local stone finishes, cross vaults and carved peperino and travertine details lend character to the communal areas and outdoor loggias. Grand reception rooms with period fireplaces form the heart of the living spaces, while fine parquet and Trani stone flooring create a restrained, sophisticated atmosphere. The private suites enjoy panoramic balconies overlooking the greenery, and a generous wine cellar area is ideal for storing and tasting fine labels. The landscaped park features 20 olive trees and a notable collection of historic roses, originally tended by Countess Senni. Two elegant porticoes open onto a monumental terrace overlooking the main lawn and Rome’s skyline, creating a refined setting for outdoor entertaining. A regulation tennis court and garage complete this exceptional residence, suited to an exclusive private home or high-end hospitality project.
