History

At the beginning, where the Guesthouse and the park are, there were different properties as " Romitello " " Villa del Sacro Cuore" and " Villa Marcella". This last one, was demolished to build, in the 60s, a new building which had to meet the needs of a city in strong urban expansion, which was Rome in those years. Today, this building give hospitality to the Guesthouse. 
In the 50s, the Congregation of the Sisters of the Immaculate Conception of Castres decided to buy a land to establish "the General Power of Attorney", of the Congregation, fulfilling in this way a desire expressed by the founder in May 1853, and also by the Holy See, to facilitate ecclesiastical relations with the Congregation. During the following years, after the Romitello, the acquisition of the whole property has been completed. 

The Congregation has been founded in 1836 from Emilie de Villeneuve, doughter of the french nobility. Her ideal was to follow Jesus Christ and serve the poor and needy, and that every activity of the Congregation had, directly or undirectly, this purpose.
