This exclusive estate is situated on the Via Appia Antica (or Ancient Appian Way), a famous Roman-era archaeological park. Though the villa seems pretty secluded, it's only about 300 meters from the Tomb of Caecilia Metella and 10 minutes from the Colosseum.

Because the villa is tucked away in Appia Antica Park, it is completely surrounded by tall trees, plants and flowers. From up on the hill, the owners can watch the land change with the seasons.

With its weathered exterior, blue shutters and vines, the front of this Italian villa is utterly charming. Can't you just picture spending a lazy afternoon out on the patio, drinking wine or reading a book?

The front patio was designed for breaking bread with friends and enjoying views of the garden. A long wooden table centers the space, with a buffet that keeps dishes within easy reach, while a black accent wall adds a touch of intrigue.
