I love the flowery garden with 500 lavender I cant image how good smell is.
The owner of this house will be a very lucky person to own a charming lovely house.

Lovely home and beautiful restoration. The inside seems a little cold to me, but it has amazing bones. The gardens are TO DIE FOR!!!

I agree, they almost look smoke-damaged.

This is a gorgeous home even though it is not my style. It was clearly lovingly restored and should be snapped up when the ideal buyer falls in love with it.

What a beautiful property, the garden is especially stunning. The terraces and patio areas are a real delight. In the interior, while not my personal style, I can appreciate the effort that went into getting the style right. The listing slideshow was really well made and I was happy to see that they had used a professional photographer.

I loved the dark dresser and the distressed table in the kitchen.

This house is absolutely GORGEOUS! I cannot help but wonder why the owners are selling it; especially after spending 4 years and lots of money restoring it. I would want to enjoy the fruits of my labor for a while. I would live in this house. I would change the decor though especially the walls. They are too dark for my personal taste. OMG how I would love to own a house like this. The period details inside makes the home special. The outdoor gardens are breathtaking!!!!!!!!!!!

Someone mentioned personal photos in her comment and I have to agree. I know that real estate agents tell home owners to put away family pictures so that people coming to see your home can imagine their own family photos in the house but that never made any sense to me. I think the opposite would be true. Family photos are what gives a home a warm touch and makes you think of your own family; not empty spaces where photos used to be. Some personal family photos and artwork would give this beautiful house an even more inviting look.
