One of the most exciting and opulent spaces I found, by far, was "Villar Perosa" which was conveniently featured in
Architectural Digest a few months ago. Situated 40 miles to the west of Turin, it is an 18th-century former hunting lodge from architect Filippo Juvarra in the Piedmontese Baroque style.
Even this light-filled hall is a feast for the eyes.
This house has some wonderful private spaces as well.
Marella's own room in a profusion of feminine floral and pink.
I love this perfect shade of green in the Bishop's Room.
Evident from the Children's Wing of the 1920's - you can see this was truly a family home.
This is the facade as well a photo of the family in front of the house.

Even the family chapel and grounds look like an idyllic place to rest.
Sourced from
Architectural Digest, thanks for reading!
Hello Ann, My favorite photos were the library and the railed bridge, both of which are evocative of the kind of place I would want to live.

amazing what unlimited funds, great taste, and generational cross-over will do! ;-)
