VILLA  DE  CESARIS  is a large, light modern villa on the edge of Anagni, with sweeping views and a generous garden.

Very private despite its convenient position, high gates open in a wall to a driveway curving between olive trees, past a fine valley view, to a house completely hidden from the road.

A small porch protects the main front door, which opens into a large entrance hall lined with display cabinets for objets d'art. The main living area of the villa has a huge living room, with sliding glass doors onto a balcony running the length of the main wing. There is also a large dining room, and a charming and cosy study/library with fireplace. Beautiful marble floors and custom-designed carpentry feature throughout. A spiral staircase with a decorative wrought-iron handrail leads up from this to an informal attic lounge and games area. An office and a bathroom complete this area of the house. 

Bridging the two wings of the house, there is a space with the main staircase, the kitchen, and a large pantry room. The other wing has seven rooms, four bathrooms and another kitchen, allowing for a portion to be used as a guest suite / granny flat / housekeeper's apartment, or for  This wing is also surrounded by balconies, as well as other doors out into the garden.
