The drawing room is also worth a visit, with its elegant furnishings and beautiful paintings. The bedrooms showcase the luxurious bedding and furnishings of the time.
In addition to the exhibits, the garden is home to a variety of plants and trees, including some that are over 200 years old. The garden also provides stunning views of the surrounding vineyards and mountains.
