THE VILLA
Villa Freya is a big house which was inscribed in the first Napoleonic land registers and it is characterised by architectonical details typical of the English style. Inside there are many rooms with different functions, just as in the taste of those who lived there.
The new floors are made with Istrian stones and oak wood on a herringbone pattern, the walls are lime-washed in natural shades, the radiators are made with cast iron, and boiseries cover some of the living rooms as the English taste requires. The new bathrooms had been completed with the use of fine materials such as Calacatta marble and a refined collection of Devon&Devon sanitaryware. The North façade retains its original main feature, namely the Canadian vine that tangles and climbs on the walls, drawing an intricate pattern. The South façade, more interesting from an architectural point of view, has three bow windows of different sizes that recall Anglo-Saxon style. Moreover, Villa Freya stands out in the village of Asolo for its ochre-coloured plaster, which has oxidised and faded at times, creating the effect of a timeless dwelling.
