The villa:
Villa Antica is an elegant and richly decorated villa dating from the mid-17th century with its own chapel and estates in quiet surroundings. It was owned by Count Cesare Sardi in 1708. In 2003 it was completely restored by its current owner, a direct descendant of the Count, paying careful attention to details. Every stone was lifted, dusted and put back in its place. The original, antique and exquisite furniture was restored and newly upholstered. The floors are polished, the walls shine. The entire house is full of sunlight. The rooms are cleverly laid out, with style and class emanating from all of them. Villa Antica remains unchanged, it is authentic inside and out, while at the same time featuring all the modern comforts, perfectly meeting the demands of modern-day living.
Services:
The caretaker, who lives nearby, makes sure that the house is cleaned daily (6 days per week) and prepares breakfast (6 days per week). The Italian breakfast is a sweet breakfast: coffee, milk, tea, bread, butter, jam. At an extra charge the breakfast can be prepared also on Sunday (please check price on the premises). A gardener maintains the outside areas and keeps the pool clean. You can also book the services of a chef for your lunches and dinners during your stay (not included in the rate). At an additional charge, you can also book the first shopping and there is a laundry and ironing service and a driver available.
The garden and the pool:
The villa is surrounded by 13 ha of private land, which includes a formal Italian garden (1 ha) with trees, fragrant plants and roses. There are many areas to relax outside as well as a pool. (The construction of the pool has been completed, the surrounding lawn is green. Current photos will be available soon.) The pool area includes comfortable sunloungers and sun chairs, and there is a barbecue area as well. Villa Antica offers a lovely view of vineyards, olive trees and the farmhouse. Mass is celebrated every Sunday at 9 o'clock in the chapel.
