In the heart of Cremona, a few steps from the main monuments of the city, stands Palazzo Cattaneo, an elegant noble residence of extraordinary historical and artistic value. Built in the sixteenth century and acquired by the Cattaneo family in 1623, the building underwent a refined renovation in the eighteenth century. In addition to its cultural vocation, the palace offers 10 independent apartments, with 1, 2 or 3 rooms with kitchen.
Another home I cannot believe is real. The architectural details are absolutely exquisite. Maybe a bit over the top for a home but one can dream (of being a princess)…
For sale via Century 21 for €3,300,000.

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish and there isn’t anything more stylish than a designer’s own offices. Welcome to the creative studio of Laura Gonzalez.

Headland House is a reimagined Art Deco residence overlooking South Bondi, designed by Sydney-based studio Richards Stanisich, an interior design and architecture practice known for thoughtful, emotive spaces. While preserving the original masonry shell, the design introduced a new upper level and restructured interior layout. Celebrating Sydney’s beachside exuberance, the interiors feature sculptural forms, rich colour, and materials chosen to amplify light. Gloss finishes, curved elements, and ceramic surfaces interact with sunlight throughout the day, creating a home that feels both vibrant and timelessly crafted.

The Ivy forms the principal section of a glorious Grade I-listed manor house in Chippenham, built in 1728 for the lawyer and local MP John Norris. It is a seldom-seen example of the high English baroque, set in four acres of gardens designed by award-winning garden designers Julian and Isabel Bannerman. The house has undergone an extensive and highly sensitive programme of restoration works in recent years and is now exceptionally well presented. Internal accommodation extends to over 5,500 sq ft with five bedrooms and a series of beautifully designed living spaces. Additionally, it has an outdoor heated swimming pool.
Between the baroque period architecture, the contemporary art collection, the mix of modern and antique furniture, and the breathtaking gardens, this home is my absolute dream! With a pool to boot!!! For sale via Inigo.
