Villa Ventorum

The award-winning hotel and garden estate, ‘The Newt in Somerset’, have reconstructed a Roman Villa based on the archaeological remains of a villa found within the estate’s grounds near Bruton in Somerset.

The villa opened in July 2021, and this lavishly illustrated, large-format book tells the story of how the remains were uncovered and the villa constructed, together with the stories of the people behind Villa Ventorum: a Roman villa reborn.

This is a sister volume to the smaller A Day in the Life of Villa Ventorum, a narrative based on imaginary characters and events devised for the Villa Ventorum visitor experience, also published by Profile Editions.
