Some properties are houses. This one is a lifestyle. Located on a hillside in Genzano di Roma, this estate is situated in the heart of the Castelli Romani, a historic wine-producing region south of Rome. This area has a tradition of winemaking dating back to the Roman Empire. A tree-lined cypress avenue leads to a white villa with a terracotta roof, surrounded by mature maritime pines. Olive trees are planted on one side, with rows of grapevines on the other. This property presents an image of an Italian estate that one might envision.
The villa itself covers 527 square meters of cadastral area and is spread across three levels, with an additional 53 square meter garage. The upper level features a large living room with panoramic views. This room has windows on three sides, a wooden ceiling, marble flooring, and a functional fireplace. It offers views of the vineyards at sunrise and the hills at sunset. Also on this level are two fully furnished guest apartments, each with its own en-suite bathroom. This arrangement suggests the property has a history of hosting guests.
The raised ground floor of the villa is designed for entertaining. It includes a 46 square meter reception room, a professional-grade central kitchen that meets hotel industry standards, two additional bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, and a total of five bathrooms (one with a whirlpool tub, three with showers, and a guest bathroom). There is also a cellar with exposed brick vaults and an original fireplace.
The lower level houses the estate’s wine cellar. This area includes a fermentation room, a bottling zone, a storage area, a cold room, and a laboratory. A guest bathroom and other service rooms are also located on this floor. The property’s wine-making facilities are a significant feature.
Externally, the property extends over 2.75 hectares of Italian countryside. This land includes a producing vineyard, an olive grove with mature trees, fruit trees, and a vegetable garden. There is also a mature park with tall trees, including maritime pines and old cypresses. A swimming pool is surrounded by stone paving and Mediterranean vegetation. An external covered pavilion includes a summer kitchen, barbecue, and dining area.
Practical infrastructure on the property includes a covered parking area for four cars, a 200-meter deep artesian well with regional authorization, and a complete irrigation system. These features contribute to the property’s self-sufficiency and functionality.
The technical specifications of this villa are noteworthy for a property in its price range. The villa is equipped with a 3 kW photovoltaic system with active state incentives, solar thermal panels connected to a 500-liter boiler, and two LPG boilers fed by a 1,000-liter underground tank. There is also a copper-lined fireplace insert, two open fireplaces, and a pellet stove. A cold room, a wastewater treatment system, a comprehensive external video surveillance system, and a recently installed Openfiber fiber optic connection are also present. Access to the property is through a six-meter automatic sliding gate with a video intercom system.
The estate retains the layout, infrastructure, and character of a property that was once used to accommodate guests, and it has the potential to do so again. The professional kitchen, en-suite bedrooms, two independent guest apartments, dedicated wine-making areas, swimming pool, and panoramic dining spaces represent a rare combination in the market. It offers a turnkey solution for a buyer looking to re-establish a hospitality business or simply to live in a private and comfortable setting.
The location balances the tranquility of the countryside with excellent connectivity. The property is 25 kilometers from Rome’s GRA ring road (approximately a 30-minute drive), 25 kilometers from the Tyrrhenian coast at Anzio and Nettuno, and 20 kilometers from the Lepini Mountains. San Gennaro train station, on the hourly Rome Termini-Velletri line, is 2.5 kilometers away. A bus service from Genzano, also running hourly, stops directly in front of the property’s gate. Rome Fiumicino International Airport is about an hour’s drive away. The historic center of Genzano di Roma and Lake Nemi are within walking distance.
This estate offers an Italian experience.
