About this villa rental
The villa of the aqueduct is a beautiful and extremely unique villa built in the 1500s around the ruins of an ancient aqueduct.
Located in a dramatic position in a hilltown at the bend of Tiber River, the villa has beautiful views of the surrounding countryside.
• Please Note: While staying at the villa without car is possible, to make the most of your time spent in this beautiful part of Italy, we recommend having a car to reach the station and sites not connected by public transportation.
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.
The well-connected villa is in the perfect location - 3 km to a train station, you can easily reach Rome in 45 minutes, Florence in 2 hours, and countless other prime destinations easily.
Located in the medieval hilltown of Orte, you can enjoy an authentic experience in the heart of Italy.
The villa of the aqueduct is also a beautiful and unforgettable venue for intimate weddings and celebrations.
Choose our beautifully appointed historic villa for your trip to Italy.
The home, in addition to being a tremendous value (3500 sq ft for up to 6 people at very competitive all-inclusive rates), is spacious, light-filled, elegant, and full of carefully designed architectural details.
NOTES:
• We cannot accommodate check-ins on Sundays, August 15th, December 25th and January 1st.
• While we welcome all families and private groups of friends, we do not rent the villa as a base for third party commercial activities.

Only an hour away from the hustle and bustle of Rome. Love walking up the hill to city center or Orte for coffee and dinners in the town center. The property was nice and we were amazed at the kitchen equipment. Keep in mind, the property does not have A/C system but there are floor fans in all bedrooms which were sufficient. A couple of more floor fans in the other rooms would have been helpful.Loved the place and will go back.

Friends cooking and celebrating together each year, we look for a home with character and great kitchen. This home has both. Plus easy access from the A1. We enjoyed our stay and visiting the nearby towns.

The Aquaduct house is perhaps our favorite of all the many homes we have stayed in in our travels. This was our third visit to the house with our family, and it won’t be our last if we can help it. When we travel with family, we love to buy local products and cook for ourselves. The aqueduct house makes this a memorable in itself as it boasts a fullly outfitted kitchen and a choice of big beautiful eating spots. Also, the house itself is an integral part of the little hilltop town of Orte, where you can find anything you want for a beautiful Italian meal. In fact, a large large part of the pleasure of being in Orte is visiting the many small, family-run shops selling fresh pasta, local produce, beautiful cheeses, great poultry and meats, etc. And the house itself: not many places offer the opportunity to stay in a 16th century dwelling that is at the same time completely up-to-date and charming in every way. Finally, in addition to everything else, Anna and Allessandra go the extra mile to make sure that their guests have everything they need … and more. Just this morning, my daughter discovered that the taxi driver, who was supposed to pick up her and her 3 children to go to the train station, was sick and couldn’t come. Allessandra came and made two trips to get them and their luggage to the train station on time. In short, I couldn’t recommend the Aquaduct House more strongly!
6.0 / 10.0Average·Nov 2021
I think it would be great for families, fun to stay in 15th century villa. Just did not have the comfort or amenities to make the stay more enjoyable. Our bathroom was very tiny and shower leaked outside to bathroom area. It would be shared with another room if more than 2 couples- I could not imagine that.
It rained so my brother and his wife had worms and a lizard come into their room from outside, they took some packing tape to tape off the area they entered from. The great room is sparce , which would be fine however the furniture was not comfortable and had a musty smell.
The historic town of Orte is very close, a nice walk and is fun to walk to, so it is a great location. The host Alessandra was very pleasant and attentive. Communication was good.
