The interior part 2

 Seriously, did you say 15 rooms? Our beautiful house is large indeed, around 400 sqm, however the way you calculate number of rooms in Italy is truly imaginative. In Sweden, we tend to express the number of rooms as simply "4 rooms and kitchen," not taking into account bathrooms and hallways, which may seem a bit different from the Italian perspective. Over there, they count everything, generously including every nook and cranny, resulting in an impressive-sounding 15 rooms! Break that down we have 6 bedrooms, 1 kitchen, 2 living rooms, 1 library, 1 furniture hallways, 3 bathrooms and 1 toilet. The house can accommodate 12 people but with one bed sofa in the upper living room we can stretch that to 13. The bedrooms The master bedroom, a favorite room Anna's room, with a small Romeo and Juliette balcony The Dandy room The Asian room The alcove  + the guest rooms, photos will be added And what about the rest of the house?

Maybe it has served as a rectory, or simply just a house belonging to the castle and it's staff. We bought the house from an elderly couple, Mr Bracco and his lovely wife Kathy. Mr Bracco is an artist at his spare time and the couple left some art as well as lots of nice furniture. A good thing was that we seem to have very similar taste as the Bracco couple and most of the furniture stays in the house. One special little detail in the house made us very excited and was probably one of the reasons we actually bought the house. The beautiful ceilings in four of the rooms.
