Rome Above the Treeline

Perched in the prestigious Camilluccia neighbourhood, this villa was once the private residence of the Gucci family – their historic presence is evident in the opulent interiors, where there are multiple receptions rooms to unwind in. Expansive walled gardens unfold around a private pool, with ancient climbing vines shading the pergola and outdoor dining areas. The rooftop terrace is something else entirely – direct sight lines to the Pantheon and Piazza Venezia make it the ideal spot for sunset aperitifs above the city. You can't leave without seeing those sights up close – the historic centre of Rome is less than a twenty-minute drive away.

Home truths:
* The villa sits in the Camilluccia district, a residential hillside neighbourhood on the edge of central Rome. It is an easy drive or taxi into the historic centre, but you will want access to a car or be comfortable booking taxis for most outings.
* At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on a sofa bed in bedroom six, which is on the rooftop level.
* The villa is currently on the market, so you may have a brief viewing visit from prospective buyers once or twice during your stay – typically lasting around thirty minutes each time.
* This home includes the services of one member of staff, who lives in an independent residence attached to this home.
* If you are travelling with young children, your host can provide a cot. Ask in advance so everything is ready on arrival.
* Well-behaved pets are welcome to accompany you during your stay for no additional charge.
