Not many photos of the mansion itself....! We weren't impressed -you will have to trust us!

We were far less impressed with the mansion, which was completed in 1899 in the Beaux-arts style and which appeared to us to have tried far too hard to imitate Italian/French/Greek architecture, and included apparently many Medici elements, and these Italian gardens. It was just seemed to us to be overdone, ornate, heavy and dark - trying to impress! It was, however, exceptional to see many of the original furnishings from the house still intact.
