Villa dell'Acquedotto is a beautiful and extremely unique villa built in the Renaissance around the ruins of an ancient aqueduct. Located in a dramatic position in the hilltown of Orte, at the bend of Tiber River, the villa has beautiful views of the surrounding countryside.

​

The location, in the geographic and cultural heart of Italy, is ideal to explore Umbria, Lazio and Tuscany: One hour from Rome and two from Florence, in a lush, hilly countryside scattered with beautiful Hill Towns, Renaissance Gardens and villas. It is extremely well connected by the A1 freeway and main train system.

​

The home was recently completely renovated to both preserve the historic architecture and make it a luxurious retreat for the modern visitor. The exterior, decorated in the 16th century with etchings called sgraffiti, has been meticulously restored by a team of world class art restorers.

The interior has been beautifully updated by the owners - two architects specializing in historic preservation and design.

The elegant and spacious home has three bedrooms, four bathrooms, a grand living room, state of the art kitchen, and a landscaped garden terrace with sweeping panoramic views. The villa is tastefully furnished with both antique and modern furniture.
