This luxurious Italian retreat at the gates of Rome is a true representation of “La Dolce Vita” set along a private lake shoreline in an extensive landscaped park. Located in the lake Bracciano area in the Italian countryside it is still close to Rome and the ideal place to discover the Italian vineyards and also the art, the architecture and the enthralling history of the Eternal City. Rome is 30 minutes away by car and all the best of Tuscany is not more than an hour away by car. A helicopter can be organised for a pick up from the helipad on the property.  In October 2015 Villa Elda hosted the X Factor UK’s Judges House and had Cheryl Fernandez-Versini, her guest judge - Jess Glyne along with all the contestants.
