Dining Room: Grandly decorated in the Italianate style, with life sized marble statues and paneled walls decked with exquisite porcelain.

Salon: Outstandingly beautiful and a listed historic monument, this semi-circular room has classically inspired pillars and pilasters. Many a souvenir of international game hunts past is mounted on the walls. By day the sun streams across the marble tiled floor, by night, this is the place for aperitifs drunk from Baccarat crystal glasses.

Living Room: A certain formality distinguishes the salon, with its panelled walls and groups of red brocade armchairs, its tapestry, Persian rugs, cabinets of curiosities and grand piano.
