This meticulously restored residence, accommodating up to 30 guests, boasts 10 air-conditioned bedrooms, with an additional two rooms housed in the former stables, adorned with 13 marble bathrooms, three interconnected salons, an antique library, an exceptional Molteni kitchen, a vast subterranean garage, a leather and walnut-clad elevator, and stringent security measures ensuring utmost tranquility during one's stay. The sumptuous master suite, available upon request at an additional cost, comprises a spacious bedroom with a fireplace, a massage-jet-equipped bathroom, a splendid walnut dressing room, and an authentic office space complemented by three terraces overlooking the park.
