A private tour for your group only, in a luxury Mercedes van, with a genuinely distinctive lunch inside a centuries-old ancient Roman tomb garden. This is a private tour for your group only, in a real luxury Mercedes van. Real stops include the Mausoleum of Cecilia Metella, Capo di Bove, the Villa of the Quintili, and the Antiquarium of Lucrezia Romana, with a genuinely distinctive lunch inside an ancient Roman tomb and centuries-old garden.
The Mausoleum of Cecilia Metella rises at the Appian Way's third mile, built between 30 and 20 BC as a drum-shaped tomb faced in travertine, its marble frieze carved with ox skulls and garlands. Cecilia Metella was the daughter of a consul and, by most accounts, the daughter-in-law of the triumvir Crassus — a pedigree grand enough to justify one of the road's most imposing private monuments. In the 14th century, Pope Boniface VIII handed the tomb to his own Caetani family, who fortified it into a toll-collecting stronghold; the crenellations still visible along its top are a medieval addition, not an ancient one.
Further along, at the fifth mile, the Villa of the Quintili tells a darker story. It belonged to brothers who reached the consulship together in 151 AD — until Emperor Commodus had them put to death in 182 AD on charges of conspiracy and seized their estate for himself. The villa stayed in imperial hands afterward, and recent excavations have uncovered its baths, a building for private spectacles, a colonnaded garden, and a nymphaeum still visible from the road.
Stops like Capo di Bove and the Antiquarium of Lucrezia Romana sit along this same stretch of the Via Appia Antica archaeological park, genuinely less visited than the road's famous entrance near the city gates — which is part of what makes a quiet, private lunch inside a centuries-old tomb garden here feel like a find rather than a tourist set-piece.
