Bassa Villa dates as far back as 1593 with the name having been derived from the Latin term 'the town in the basin'. It is possible to see exactly why the name was given when you see that The Bassa Villa stands at the bottom of the Cartway which is, and always has been, the main gateway up into 'High Town'. The rooms are all contained within the main building and no matter where you are, you're never too far away from the character of the building. The large Garden is on the bank of the River Severn.
