Happy Friday everyone!
Thought we could go on a little virtual getaway today. To the town of Bernalda in the south of Italy. While there, we can stay at the Margharita Palazzo. A 9 bedroom mansion restored and redesigned by Francis Ford Coppola with the help of French designer Jacques Grange along with input from family members.
Originally built in the 1870’s, the palazzo has been restored in the manner of a Summer retreat. The furnishings and light colour palette certainly help accomplish this goal. Other features of the palazzo include a garden, courtyard and swimming pool area.
Palazzo Margherita Corso Umberto I 70 | 75012 Bernalda (MT)

Omg, omg, omg. This is GORGEOUS! I wouldn’t mind living there.
Well those floors blow me away!
Wow this space is gorgeous. I wonder if it is ever available for a rental? I’d love to stay here one day!
Well, it is said to be a boutique hotel. But, when I tried to find accommodation info online, all I could find were articles about how Sofia just had her wedding there…
Oh Santa, my heart just skipped a beat. Those beautiful blue and white chevron floors are out of this world. Drool 😉

@design elements I agree with you, it really adds visual interest and texture. It is definitely a coral of some sort.
