Villa La Residenza is not just a rental villa; it is a home. The owner's have collected a unique mix of antiques and modern furnishings from all over the world, aiming to blend the old and new with a sense of style and comfort.

The house is not a typical one: in Italy this type of home is known as palazzo signorile, which is translated as noble or gentleman's house.
