About the property
Villa Il Cardinale is a wonderful home of character with a rich history. A 1st Century AD Roman house used to occupy the current site of Villa Il Cardinale. The Roman Villa had its own private baths in the grounds. Remains of the Roman baths are now visible as archaeological ruins in the upper garden, I Ruderi , where you can spot lovely Roman cats owned by the family.
In the 19th century the Villa became the hunting lodge of a Cardinal (hence its name, Il Cardinale) after having been rebuilt and refurbished substantially since the 16th C. The coat of arms of the Torlonia family can still be seen in the villa.
