There’s a lot going on with this beautiful château – the red window frames (I’m not a fan), the fabulous millwork, the massive fireplace, a large industrial kitchen (that I’d want to make more historic) and then modern touches in the bedroom and bathrooms. It’s weird but I’d love a go at this challenge. For sale via Kretz for €2,490,000.

On my hunt for a château to share I came across this home and it was game over. This is so incredibly cool and for some unknown reason has been for sale for many months and is still not sold. Whenever it does sell, the new owner better not touch a friggin thing! For sale via Daniel Féau for €1,975,000. (Some photos via The World of Interiors).
For Art Deco lovers, the house of the architect Pierre Petit who exhibited in 1937 at the Universal Exhibition. The house dominates its park of more than 3 hectares with tennis court, rose garden, vegetable garden, pond and garages. Very bright with high ceilings, the house is remarkable for its conservation in its original architecture on which several renowned artists have intervened such as the sculptors Jean René Debarre and Georges Guyot, the ironworker Raymond Subes and the master glassmaker and mosaicist Joseph Jean Kef Ray; many of the lights are signed Perzel. The entrance is grandiose in its verticality with its carved door and polished stucco walls, on the ground floor there is a lounge-bar and rooms formerly devoted to service. Upstairs, the kitchen opens onto a dining room that has remained intact and a double living room which opens onto a large terrace with panoramic views of the park. The upper levels serve 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, as well as a room with a billiard table. The mosaic floors are superb. The extensive park ensures the privacy of the property.

In the stunning countryside of Emilia Romagna, in the charming town of Bertinoro, there is this stunning castle with a crenellated tower for sale. This luxurious estate was built following the Bavarian Neo-Gothic architectural model of Schloss Neuschwanstein and was inaugurated at the end of the 19th century. This truly-unique castle measures 1,300 square meters, having three floors, a cellar and a tower. The fortress is spread over several levels and houses twelve bedrooms and five bathrooms. The property is completed by an annex that once housed both the greenhouse and the stables, and is currently used as the caretaker’s house. Immersed in a 9,000-sqm park full of centuries-old trees, the castle is characterized by a majestic facade with decorative terracotta bands. The jewel in the crown of this luxurious property is its eclectic architecture, which makes it unique in the Romagna area.
I am blown away by the details in every room of this castle. Talk about princess vibes! For sale via Lionard.

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.
