Villa Pratolauro is part of a complex of four semi-detached units, a real estate development initiated in 1999 with a new-build project on untouched land. Today, the villa is dedicated to short-term rentals, welcoming guests seeking an exclusive experience in the capital.
Located in Rome, within an oasis of the Roman countryside bordering the Marcigliana Natural Park, the property sits in a prestigious area with open views over the city. The project complies with the landscape protection regulations governing the site, while placing people at its centre. The architectural layout preserves typical forms, materials and finishes, maintaining a contemporary language even 25 years later.
The volumes are pure; lime-based plaster defines the surfaces; finishes in peperino stone and travertine remain timeless; the roof is clad in subtly variegated terracotta tiles; sandblasted brickwork is arranged in a precise grid; laminated timber roofs and underfloor heating complete the technical system. Above all, the villa exists in continuity with the outdoors — itself seamlessly connected to open fields, tree-lined horizons and panoramic views of the entire city, with sunset vistas.
Relaxation is the guiding principle: generous, streamlined spaces, bespoke furniture, a panoramic patio, barbecue area, solarium, ping-pong zone, handcrafted swing, seating areas and dining tables. The amenities include two fireplaces, a Dolby surround projector, a gym and two pools: one semi-covered for swimming, the other a six-seat Jacuzzi for hydro-massage.
The Jacuzzi, added in 2024, was conceived to expand the villa’s hospitality offering. Through VEPA panoramic glazing, an enclosed area was created that functions as a small private spa even in winter, transforming the stay into an exclusive experience.
Villa Pratolauro offers a holiday within a holiday: a place to reconnect with oneself, friends and family, in the heart of Rome.
