The villa covers about thirty hectares and is similar to a farm that embraces a large courtyard. There are two outdoor areas: an Italianate park and a grove. On the ground floor are the animal stables and rooms used for processing agricultural products. Characteristic are the cellars where a huge winepress made from a single cypress tree trunk towers above. The property was initially purchased by the Mastrilli family. Then, in the early 19th century, following the marriage of Vincenza Mastrilli to Baron Francesco de Clario, the villa passed to the latter's family. In 1920 it passed to the Filangieri family after the marriage of Eleonora de Clario to Riccardo Filangieri.
