Asset Overview

In the province of Latina (in Italy), about 2 kilometers from Sperlonga and 150 from Rome, one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, almost at the end of the city beach, the villa of Tiberius, together with the other Roman residences that rise on the coast, is one of the testimonies most suggestive dating back to the first century. A.D.. It is an archaeological site of extraordinary importance for the wealth of findings and the charm of the place: a Roman villa nestled in a green hill overlooking the sea. The position of the villa creeps under a spur of rock, so much so that it is said that the Emperor, during a banquet, was hit by a boulder detached from the rock above and miraculously saved, he decided to move to another residence.
