Io Saturnalia!
holly
This lucky sprig of holly will transport you to our Saturnalia celebration. Please join us!


Welcome to our traditional rustic house located in the beautiful Alban Hills of Latium. The area, one of the most exclusive around, is surrounded by many vineyards and olive groves. Tusculum, 15 miles (24 kilometres) southeast of Rome, is a favorite resort of many prominent famlies of Rome who have built sumptuous villas and beautiful gardens.

Experience the highs and lows, the cuts and burns, the rants and raves, the fish guts and real nuts … Antonia's Culina. (Pardon my dog Latin.)

Villa Magnoliarum is famous for its Bibliotheca filled with local history on scrolls and for its magnificent gardens boasting a wide variety of magnolia trees and bushes. The bibliotheca and horti are open to visitors by appointment only.

Tusculum Festivals

23 June - Sagra della lumaca, an alfresco snail-eating feast.

October - Sagra del vino, wine festival.

16 October - World Bread Day

December - Saturnalia!
Traditionally we spend Saturnalia with Senex Caecilius and his mother at the Villa Rustica just down the road.


When the ripe ears turn the crop to gold,
add the garlic to the onions
and when you have sold all
then sing and sing again
the praises of Fors Fortuna
~ Columella De Re Rustica 10, 311
