Sandy Lane has always been a setting for glitz and glamour in the grandest of tradition, and of no exception is this dazzling Italianate Palazzo.

The main residence fills some 9,000 square feet with formal party settings; this showpiece will romantically capture your heart from the celestial 44-ft-high elliptical oval circular gallery with a wondrous loggia expanding the space. Once inside the ornate iron-and-glass entrance door, it reaches its zenith. Four stories of brilliantly orchestrated living space flow melodiously from an ethereal iron-railed, grand carved marble serpentine staircase, to the great room which is adorned by renaissance furnishings. Beyond lies 1 of 2 gourmet kitchens.

The 4 sleeping suites are all with spacious en-suites and dressing rooms of oak wooden closets. The main salon with plush seating, has a breath taking terrace overlooking redolent gardens and a 40ft swimming pool with mosaic tiles.

The 1200sq.ft guest pavilion is a miniature representation of the great residence, bespoke opulence and tranquility, which is evident everywhere with an Italian influence that preceded the British Empire.
