Get us there now.
We all remember the episode of Normal People where the gang headed to Marianne’s luxury Italian villa and our mouths literally dropped to the floor.
The place was stunning, it was like something we’d read about in a romance novel, but brought to life.
And if you’re anything like us, that villa has been on your mind ever since you saw it on TV, and good news, you can now rent the place.
And now that a holiday is almost in reach, this villa is definitely what we have our eye on when scrolling through Airbnb.
Il Casale Tenuta di Verzano is the villa of dreams, and by renting this place we can finally live out our Normal People dreams – does Connell come with it?
Described as “an ancient farmhouse”, the villa is just outside Rome in Sant’Oreste, Lazio and has been in the same family for 150 years.
Sleeping six people, the place is only €40 a night, but there is a catch.
You’re not guaranteed the whole house, there’s only access to a private apartment within the villa, as well as to the pool and amenities.
The description reads: “The apartment has its own separate entrance in one of the two farmhouses. It combines comfort with the charm of the farmhouse.”
“The systems are modern while retaining many of the period furnishings. The apartment can accommodate up to 6 people in two spacious bedrooms, dining room, living room, kitchenette and modern bathroom.”
With a grand stone exterior and wooden shutters, not to mention the antiques spread around the home, we’re not one bit surprised this place was picked for the show.
