The home is flanked by two sweeping terraces—the northern terrace is shaded by centennial chestnut trees, antique Italian sculptures, fountains and gardens—with four lounge areas, as well as two dining spaces for diverse dining scenarios. Cosima calls this area the “summer terrace,” the coolest part of the house, where the family often lounged and dined during the warmer months.

“What I love about this facade is the fact that it’s tiered, with a dining area up top, and various spots down below. So there’s really a thing of setting up dinner every night in a different place. And so it’s a bit of a surprise. There’s that excitement of, oh, where’s it going to be, and what’s the view?” she says. Their extensive collection of tableware, sourced over 30 years from travels across Syria, India, Colombia, and regional brocantes, adds a touch of enchantment to every meal, with a different set used for each dining experience. Meals unfold across various locales of the estate, and have always been central to its spirit. Today, under the guidance of chef Bernardo Costantino and shaped by his Umbrian roots and deep respect for terroir, seasonal menus celebrate local ingredients with elegance, simplicity, and a regenerative approach.

The southern terrace sits beside the historic chapel, featuring Tuscan-inspired terracotta terraces and manicured gardens, panoramic views of the Luberon hills framed by Aleppo pines, a freshwater swimming pool surrounded by daybeds, and two lounge areas along with two dining spaces.
