Since 1646

The Residence

Stone walls, quiet courtyards, windows opening onto green. The Villa, a bishop's residence in 1646, holds time within it and offers it back to those who pass through, with the discreet measure of old Italian residences that need no announcing.

Farming is part of the identity of Villa Sant'Erasmo. On the estate's land in Anagni and Paliano, crops, livestock and produce follow the rhythm of the seasons, nurturing an authentic bond between land, kitchen and hospitality.

The Table

Flavours, seasons, territory.

The Villa's kitchen follows the seasons and the territory: chosen ingredients, simple gestures, tables set for being together. From the table setting to the buffet, from the kitchen to conviviality, eating here is part of the experience of the residence.

In the heart of nature

The Villa overlooks Lake Canterno, in Lazio, surrounded by woods and countryside. The landscape is not a backdrop: it is part of the way this place is lived.
