Punti salienti: One room features a stunning fresco of Cupid and Psyche, where the delicate colors seem almost alive under soft candlelight, enhancing a romantic atmosphere. The loggia is another standout with intricate frescoes depicting classic myths, designed to make visitors feel as if they have stepped into an ancient dream.
