salon/living-room, furnished with original pieces from the 1700s and two large paintings attributed to
Vincenzo Dandini, a well-known florentine painter around the middle of the 1600s. From the first
door on the left you enter into a living/reading room with period tables and chairs and two large
mirrors; from here you enter the royal bedroom once belonging to Carolina Buonaparte, with precious
furniture and sumptuous materials and air-conditioning, then from the double bedroom you come to
the bathroom with hydromassage bath-tub, a double bedroom with bathroom with bathtub and shower
extension. On the other side of the salon you come to the dining-room with dumb waiter from the
kitchen, and also to a double bedroom with four-poster bed with a small single bedroom next to it, both
of which use a large bathroom with bath-tub; then there is another double bedroom with four-poster
bed which has an external bathroom with bathtub. Down a flight of stairs you come to the ground floor
where you find the large, original kitchen, still mostly intact, another small kitchen, the laundry and a
WC, then still on the ground floor, from a second entrance you come to the rear of the grounds. If you
go up the stairs from the salon, you come to the second floor, where you arrive in a twin bedroom
leading to another twin bedroom with air-conditioning, which share the same bathroom with bathtub
and shower extension. Up another five steps you come to a further twin bedroom leading to another
double bedroom with four-poster bed and air-conditioning, and these too share a bathroom with
bathtub and shower extension.
