Villa Cassia
Villa Cassia is a fascinating place, located in Manziana, close to Lago di Bracciano, only 30 minutes drive from Rome. The property, built at the beginning of 1900 and placed in a 12 hectares charming park, has 3 main houses and other buildings that in the past years have been accurately and elegantly restructured by famous architects. A vast park with precious plants and spectacular trees is the right frame for swimming pools, fountains and amazing corners where exclusive vacations, meetings, events and weddings can be arranged. Within the property's park, at the end of a wide and beautiful valley, there is a small ancient Church "Chiesa della Madonna delle Grazie". It was built on 1400 from the family Baronale dei Prefetti, Signori di Vico, as a chapel, along the way that from Pisciarelli took to Manziana. The Church has been a place of cult for the community in Manziana, up to the beginning of 1600.In 1724 it has been enlarged in order to host the growing number of faithful people that were going there for religious ceremonies and today, every year, on September 8th, "Madonna Delle Grazie" is celebrated with a dedicated worship and an enjoyable cross-country day with games for children.
The enchanting winter gardens and the lovely porch, comfortably furnished, are the right frame for a charming swimming pool surrounded by a rich set of exceptional flowering plants. Superb and stylish are the villa's interiors which have been accurately restructured and designed by famous architects. The main house has 2 living rooms, 3 dining rooms, 1 guest bath, 1 kitchen, 4 suites, and a roof apartment with 2 double rooms each one with its private bathroom. The smaller house, with an amazing view on both pools and on the pine tree promenade has 2 suites, 1 fitness center, 2 guest baths and 1 winter garden furnished with elegant sofas.
