Villa Palazzola - Roma

I recently had the marvellous opportunity to visit this beautiful Villa for a retreat. Truly spectacular. The Villa is perched on an ancient volcano rim at an approximate height os 534m ASL with Lake Albano at 288m ASL.
A little history (palazzola.net)
The site of Palazzola has a very long history, going back to the Bronze Age people of the 17th century B.C.
Palazzola’s Latin name was Palatiolus, and as you approach along the via dei Laghi, Palazzola appears set against the backdrop of Monte Cavo. This was once known as Mons Albanus, with a temple dedicated to Jupiter and intact sections of a Roman road, the Via Sacra.
Legend has it that Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome, were suckled by a she-wolf on Monte Cavo. More certain is that Hannibal made his camp here during his assault on Rome.
There was also a Roman villa at Palazzola with the remains of water conduits still visible along the Albano path. Next to the Villa is the enormous rock tomb of a Roman consul, possibly G. Cornelius Scipio Hispalus, who died c. 176 B.C.
