The house's spaces

Rooms & Interiors

Intimate rooms, period furnishings and tables carefully laid.

The Villa's domestic soul

Wooden ceilings, round tables and soft light: the rooms host receptions, lunches and dinners while keeping the intimate character of a historic house.

Each room has a fireplace, terracotta floors, gilded mirrors and carefully chosen furnishings, telling the story of this lived-in 1646 former bishop's residence, designed to welcome guests with ease.
