OPENING
Rome in a day
One of Britain’s finest hotels, The Newt, a Georgian manor set in a magnificent 1000-acre country estate, has upped its offering with the opening of a reconstructed Romano-British villa found on the estate, dating back to 351 AD. Villa Ventorum, translating to ‘Villa of The Winds’, is the most ambitious reconstruction of a Roman villa ever undertaken in Britain. Visitors will enjoy a sensory experience of life in a Roman Britain household, including the sights, sounds and smells of its daily rituals, and you can even book a Roman food tasting to complete the experience. thenewtinsomerset.
