The Villa

A house that holds on to time

Stone walls, quiet courtyards, windows opening onto green: Villa Sant'Erasmo is a historic villa dating from 1646 on Lake Canterno, with the discreet grace of Italian houses that need no introduction.

A villa in Ciociaria, in the province of Frosinone, Lazio: countryside, woods and water, just over an hour from Rome.

The garden

Hedges, gravel, the long shadow of cypress trees and views that sweep down towards the lake.

Rooms & interiors

Brick vaults, long tables, silence: the villa's interiors host receptions and dinners. Crackling fireplaces, ancient beams, terracotta floors and carefully chosen furnishings: the rooms keep the domestic soul of a well-lived country house.
