For almost 50 years the owners have cultivated their passion for antiques and have furnished the villa with pieces acquired from antique dealers, auction sales or antique fairs. Some of the more particular pieces are the beautiful doors in each room. Particularly the two doors in the central lounge and the one of the green bedroom on ground floor. All of 17th cent.

There are many antique prints on the walls from different parts of Italy (Venice, Rome, Naples etc). Objects d’art can be seen throughout the villa. All the rooms have Persian carpets.
