Černošice’s villa district is a spectacular collection of unique family homes at the northern and western foot of Babka Hill that stand out from their surroundings as one approaches on the road from Prague. Since the villa district dates back to the early twentieth century, it is home to Art Nouveau and First Republic villas. After 1989, Černošice once again became a popular place to construct showcase residential buildings, including in this neighborhood. The locality possesses a strong character that is not defined by any one architectural style as much as by the buildings’ grandeur and scale. Located on steep plots of land, the houses stand out above a path carved into the hillside and lined by the gardens’ retaining walls. Villa Sidonius was not going to be any different.
