Villa Farinella was designed in the late 18th century by the architect Prada who was supervisor in north Latium for the Papal State and whose descendants are well knows fashion designer.

He built three other villas along the same lines as Farinella together with the Palazzo Prada in Via Prada in the historic centre of Viterbo.

The villa was the family home of the landowners of a large estate holding another four simples country houses. Up to the time of the second world war it was in open countryside wich has now become a residential neighbourhood twenty minutes walk from the city centre.

Via Capodistria was built along the 300 metres drive way to the villa and it ends with the original monumental gateway.

Villa Farinella offers the visitor a choice of 3 en-suite rooms all individually furnished with antiques and in keeping with the style and special atmosphere of the villa.
