Villa Sereno

A hidden jewel in the heart of Rome, near Villa Borghese, Villa Sereno is a vacation rental in Italy that redefines luxury accommodation. This sumptuous historic estate began its story just before the First World War, offering guests an unparalleled experience in the city.

The concept for this architectural marvel was conceived by engineer Adolfo Sebastiani in the 1910s. Sebastiani played a key role in developing what is now known as the elegant Quartier Sebastiani, but Villa Sereno stands as his grandest and most impressive project. Originally designed by architect Oriolo Frezzotti, Sebastiani later entrusted the completion to Arnoldo Foschini, who reimagined the villa in a Liberty style heavily influenced by Greco-Roman architecture. Completed in 1929, the villa is surrounded by a classical Italian garden, further adding to its charm as an exceptional vacation rental in Italy.

For decades, Villa Sereno served as the primary residence of a wealthy noble family. Today, the villa has been carefully restored, maintaining its historical facade and intricate interior decor. The renovation embraced an Art Deco style, transforming the interiors into a breathtaking display of extravagance. Over 1,000m² of marble and semiprecious stone surfaces, including rare amethyst wall panels from Madagascar and Ural, now grace the estate. A vast art collection further adds to the villa’s grandeur.

Villa Sereno features four individually designed suites, each crafted by renowned interior decorator Jacques Garcia. His love for Napoleonic extravagance is evident in every detail. The suites are adorned with rich fabrics, marble bathrooms, delicate artworks, and authentic vintage furniture by Lalique, Baccarat, and Colombostile. Every corner of this vacation rental in Italy exudes luxury and character, making it an unforgettable stay for those seeking both history and opulence.
