Inside, original period furnishings, paintings, trinkets and knick-knacks, everything is very British. A black-and-white cat sneaks into the dining room, under the table set with the finest pottery and crystal; we are in a museum but the impression is of a house that lives a life of its own. A majestic specimen of sandbox tree, with its trunk covered with large thorns, which we are told is four hundred years old, makes a fine display in the inner courtyard, from which one enters the flower and herb garden. English garden, of course. Not at all, <\/span><\/span> here the flower beds are arranged according to a definite symmetry, and this would really be called an Italian garden.\r\n\r\n
