The Upper Floor

The two suites on the Upper Floor are decorated with carefully restored painted ceilings and frescoed walls. One is dedicated to Alfonso of Aragon and the 17th century decor centers around the ornate antique furniture and mirror, with paintings depicting seascapes. The other suite is dedicated to Queen Isabella, wife of Alfonso. Its private altar, starry ceiling and paintings featuring sacred scenes, lend the room a spiritual air.

The Attic Floor

The attic floor with two double rooms tucked under thick wooden eaves are decorated in a soft, understated style. The villa’s grand staircase, with its colorful stucco decorations, statues and vases tucked into niches, is a central element running through the villa. This floor opens onto the gardens behind the palazzo.

The Grounds

The grounds include a garden paved with traditional volcanic stone from Vesuvius and flowerbeds planted with citrus trees, bougainvillea, jasmine & roses as well as an organic vegetable & herb garden.
