Life outdoors – slow days, big skies

At Villa Nova, life moves gently. Surrounded by olive trees and wildflowers, the garden offers places to gather and places to pause. Dine under the fig trees, swim in the solar-heated pool, or watch the sunset from a lounger. Whether you're having a family dinner, reading in the hammock or playing football with the kids, the outdoors is where memories take root.

Explore – nature, food, and timeless villages

Villa Nova is a perfect base to explore the best of Italian countryside living.

• Visit local vineyards for wine tastings and long lunches
• Take the train to Rome for a day of culture and gelato
• Swim in the lake or explore medieval villages like Trevignano, Bracciano and Anguillara
• Head to the seaside for fresh seafood and aperitivo by the water
• Or simply walk to the market, cook together and enjoy a simple meal on the terrace

From Lazio to Umbria and Tuscany, the region offers rich nature, deep history, and the kind of everyday beauty that stays with you.

Warm welcome  

Tucked away in the hills of a national park and overlooking Lake Bracciano, Villa Nova is a place to relax, reconnect, and enjoy life at a slower pace. Designed for connection, built over 25 years with care and purpose – it's a place where our families and friends return year after year.

Our story

We found Villa Nova as an empty shell 25 years ago. Over time, it became our life's project – shaped slowly, season by season, into the welcoming home it is today. Every detail reflects what we care about: simplicity, warmth, and a sense of belonging. When you stay here, you are not a guest – you're part of the story.

Spaces for sharing and resting

The villa is designed to host. With two spacious living rooms, eight bedrooms and generous outdoor areas, there is room to gather – and space to retreat. Every bedroom has direct access to a terrace with sweeping views of the lake or hills. The open-plan kitchen invites shared cooking and long meals. Modern bathrooms, air conditioning and thoughtful touches throughout ensure your stay is easy and comfortable.

Sustainable by design

Villa Nova runs on solar power. We drink clean, local well water, avoid plastic, and ask guests to treat the home and land with the same care we do. Staying here means living in rhythm with the place – slowly, simply, and with intention.

What our guests say

Thoughtful hosting

We've thought of the details so you don't have to. Our hosts are nearby if needed but never in the way. We want you to feel free, cared for, and completely at home.
