This splendid villa situated in the countryside outside Rome takes its name (pozzo antico = old well) from an old well still present in the property and visible in the veranda on the ground floor. The villa, which was completely renovated around 2005, alternates characteristics typical of country farmhouses such as terracotta floors, open-face beams and parquet in the sleeping area, with more modern structural features such as resin floors in the living area. Its position allows guests to relax completely in the beautiful garden or under the large portico overlooking the surrounding countryside. Pozzo Antico, furthermore, is a property suitable for those wishing to visit the major cultural cities of central Italy, above all Rome, the Eternal City, which is easily reached with public transport.
