Villa Sylva is a house of the 70s, stylistically linked to that period in which the Roman bourgeoisie flaunted opulent tastes in the choice of second homes: marble, parquet, boiserie, crystal, brass, carpets, collections. The villa once belonged to the famous actress Sylva Koscina whose photos and portraits are present in the various rooms; the current owner has maintained the original mood of the diva's choices: crystal Murano chandeliers, boiserie ceilings, floors in terracotta and parquet, marble stairs, brass Liberty railings, bathrooms in Tuscan Pietra Dorata and Vietri tiles, fine wood fixtures, antique furniture, showcases with collections of crystals and porcelain. A fascinating and particular setting within an exclusive park, just a stone's throw from the centre of Rome which is easily reachable in 20 minutes thanks to the bus stops and local train station (Sassone) just 1 km from the villa. From Villa Sylva, thanks to the nearby Via dei Laghi, you can easily explore the extensive area of the Castelli Romani, a vast park crowned by the peaks of the Alban Hills, rich in archaeological remains and beautiful nature trails, also renowned for its great gastronomic tradition and for the fine production of white wines. Sports enthusiasts will find nearby tennis courts, riding stables and the prestigious 18-hole Country Club Castelgandolfo, designed by the famous architect Robert Trent Jones and obtained from the basin of an old volcanic crater and cloaked by a suggestive frame of age-old olive trees and maritime pines. Shops and services can be found in Ciampino and Marino just 4 km away.
