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.

The kitchen has a double marble sink, 250 years old and a collection of 12 ceramic tiles with zodiac symbols of the beginning of last century, over the stove.Worth notice is a big 17th cent chestnut plaque over the wide stairs down into the big lounge/dining room.

In the master bedroom a double painted 18th cent. door from a noble palace in Naples and a 17th cent. chest. In the red bedroom a very fine Louis XV wardrobe. 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.
