The best Villas in Lazio

Lazio, the region that is home to Italy's capital city, Rome, is at the centre of our peninsula, overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea. Rome was the heart of the ancient Roman Empire and is one of the most beautiful cities and capitals in the world, with iconic monuments counted among the wonders of the world and UNESCO World Heritage Sites such as the Colosseum, the Pantheon, the Imperial Forums, among many others. But Lazio is also much more: it is unspoilt nature, between peaks and the sea, villages and towns rich in history as well as excellent food and wine known everywhere. There are also some must-see attractions on the coast, such as the ancient port of Ostia, which still has fine mosaics and a theatre. Further inland are the wooded mountains of the Apennines, with nature reserves, lakes and villages set in stone.
