Luxury villa overlooking the River Tiber – Casale Ponzano

Rising in the Appennine Mountains in Emilia-Romanga and flowing for more than 250 miles through Umbria and Lazio to the Tyrrhenian Sea, the Tiber is Italy’s third-longest river. This mighty and important river, which, according to legend, resulted in the city of Rome being founded in 753 BC on its banks, naturally flows past diversely stunning and uniquely intriguing countryside, sites, towns and villages.

Vintage Travel is thrilled to have a luxury villa overlooking the River Tiber.   Casale Ponzano, located just three kilometres from Ponzano Romano and approximately 50 kilometres north of Rome, has six bedrooms, five bathrooms and can sleep up to 12 guests.

This effortlessly comfortable villa, being made from natural and reclaimed materials, such as wrought iron chandeliers, stone mantle pieces and solid wooden doors, has maintained an authenticity and traditionalism that certainly does this breath-taking spot of Italy the justice it deserves.

Opulence is radiated throughout the luxury villa overlooking the River Tiber, with terracotta tiles carpeted by soft Persian rugs, a long banqueting table that is fit for a King and high ceilings with exposed beams bringing additional character to this highly distinctive Italian villa.
