The interior of the villa is a tribute to the refinement of aristocratic times, with fine marble and parquet floors, large windows flooding the rooms with natural light, and a monumental marble staircase. Major conservation work has preserved the authenticity of the property and also led to an adaptation of the heating system to modern requirements.

On the ground floor, the living area is characterised by spacious lounges decorated with period fireplaces and high-quality parquet floors, while the big windows offer an impressive view of the surrounding park.
