Luxury villa n°11

Rome

Our rating & descriptionThis luxury villa, property of the American Academy in Rome, from the

time of its construction has assumed various names accompanying

changes in ownership: Villa Farnese, Villa Borbone, Villa Giraud, Villa

Savorelli, Villa Heyland.

The Villa was built by Cardinal Girolamo Farnese (1599 – 1668/69) atop

the Gianiculum, along the Aurelian walls close to Porta San Pancrazio.

The property had belonged to Pope Paolo III as part of the Farnese fami-

ly vineyards. The exact date of construction is unknown, but assumed to

be between 1650 - when Girolamo Farnese became governor of Rome -

and 1667, the date of his nomination as Cardinal. The restoration project

brought to light a small stretch of the Aurelian wall in the substructure

of the Villa. The Einaudi project began in 2000 and was completed two

years later. By May of 2002 this Villa was again one of the most sugges-

tive and beautiful properties in Rome.

WeddingsPerched in a dominating position on the crest of the Janiculum Hill,

Luxury Villa, reopened with a gala inauguration in May 2002 after three

years of extensive restoration. With this reopening the Villa continues

in its traditional role, hosting cultural events organized by the Academy

such as concerts and conferences. The beauty of the Villa gardens, the

breathtaking view of Rome, and the variety of spaces available make

this place an ideal location for high-level external events such as wed-

dings.

The villa provides different areas where you can celebrate your wed-

ding reception, according to the number of your guests and your prefer-

ences you will make a decision.
