| First Floor:
This floor can be reached via two staircases; one to
the left and one to the right of the entrance hall.
At the end of the first staircase, we come across a
lovely suite with a large terrace (Suite 7) . Its décor
is in the scale of green. Beside this suite, we find
two double bedrooms (Rooms 5 & 6) and another suite
(Suite 4). The tower can also be accessed from this
wing of the castle, which hosts a junior suite (Room
11).
Descending this staircase one has access to the mezzanine
level, where we find another double bedroom (Room 9),
a junior suite (Room 8) and the staircase which leads
to an attic, it too with a junior suite (Suite 10).
This room features exposed wood beams and a commanding
view of the landscape.
The second staircase, to the right of the entrance
hall is a grand structure furnished with two antique
suits of armour. It leads to the imposing Grand Duke’s
bedroom (Suite 3). This suite looks out onto both the
front and rear gardens and is painted cardinal red.
It also contains antique furnishings, including a 17th
century bed head, bookcases and grand piano. This second
staircase also leads to another two suites (Suites 1
& 2), one which overlooks the southern garden and
the other which looks out onto the northern garden.

On entering the rear garden of the Castello, via the
double glass doors at the end of the entrance hall,
there is a well kept rose bed and lawn area with comfortable
outdoor lounges; ideal place to have pre dinner drinks
or something cool to drink during the hot summer evenings.
To the right a patio with chairs, tables and canvas
umbrellas where one could easily have breakfast or dine
during the summer months, or perhaps even have lunch
during the first warm spring days.
At the end of the garden we find the swimming pool,
cordoned off by a gate, which is able to be used from
mid-May to the end of September. The swimming pool overlooks
a split level olive grove and during the hot summer
hours is shaded by historical pine trees. There is also
a “Jacuzzi” pool that can be used all year
round and a nice “fit space “ with few machines.
This zone also has changing room, and a bathroom.
All the bedrooms are equipped with air conditioning,
mini bar, private safe, colour satellite television,
telephone with independent external line and modem access,
radio and personal alarm clock. The bathrooms are all
hand painted with travertine marble and equipped with
hairdryers, full set of bath towels.
