The villa, which dates back to 1640, was built by the Orsini Princes and later sold to the Odescalchi family, who already owned the castle next to it. In 1960, the building was purchased by Jean Paul Getty, who had the residence restored to its original splendor, with 17th-century furnishings, tapestries and paintings. During the renovation, the remains of an ancient Roman villa came to light; today these findings can be admired in the hotel archaeological museum. The current owner, Roberto SciĂ˛, bought the villa directly from Getty in the 1980s, and in 1990 it once again became synonymous with superb hospitality, in line with its original function.
