Villa Lais

Villa Lais is an urban park in the Tuscolana district featuring green spaces, myrtle hedges, and multiple recreational zones for visitors. The grounds include a playground, fitness stations with exercise equipment, and designated picnic areas spread throughout the property.

The property originated as vineyards owned by the Lateran Chapter until 1685, when part was sold to the Merolli family. This early change marked a shift from agricultural to private ownership and use.

The renovated manor displays Art Nouveau details and traditional artistic elements throughout its decorated rooms that visitors can observe. These visual touches help define the character and appeal of the space.

The park is open during daylight hours and provides easy access with walkways throughout the grounds. It is best to visit in early morning or late afternoon when the spaces are less crowded.

A family center operates within the grounds, providing services to the local community that go beyond typical park functions. This resource makes the space more than just recreation, serving as a place for support and connection.
