History

The resort was established in 1944 by Ernesto Vindigni. At the time it had fewer than fifty hotel rooms and ten cottages. Owing to its Italian ownership, the resort's pool was accompanied by two bocce courts. Its first major expansion came in the 1970s after Martin Passante was bow hunting nearby and spotted the for sale sign on the property. They purchased the property in December 1969 and by 1973 began construction on the Club Forum and Futura Wing, which allowed the hotel to remain open year round once they opened in 1978. An Indoor sports complex followed in 1982 and a ski area in 1983. As of 2017, Villa Roma hosts more than 200,000 guests per year in 24 timeshare buildings, and 139 hotel rooms.

Culture

The Villa Roma resort was designed as an Italian Resort and features a Tuscan atmosphere. Much of the cuisine in the main dining room is focused around fine Italian dining. Though located right within the, once popular, borscht belt; many of those who vacation at the resort are of Italian descent and the resort is not kosher. A large number of those guests are from the New York City area. This differs from the traditional resorts in the area, which were opened and operated by Jewish families to serve predominantly other Jewish families. Villa Roma, today, is a popular vacation spot of many families of Jewish descent. Around the time of the Jewish holiday, Passover, the resort changes their menu and serves guests meals designated for the holiday to those who gather for it. The resort is said to mix tradition with modern amenities.
