From the very first moment I saw this home in House & Garden I fell in love with it. It’s classic, fresh, timeless and all the elements seem to be just the right ones. Relaxed sophistication at its best.
I must admit this season I’m slightly obsessed with Green. Moss, Emerald, Sage, Jade, Olive…the possibilities are endless! Below I’m sharing with you some fabulous rooms where this colour really makes a difference.

Villa Santo Sospir is without a doubt one of the most special homes on the French Riviera. This unique property was bought by Alex Weisweiller as a gift to his wife, Francine Wisweiller after the Second World War. Madeleine Castaing, a close friend to Mrs Weisweiller was in charge of the decoration and yes, there was a leopard carpet among other fabulous details. In 1950, Jean Cocteau visited the house and left his mark in the most beautiful way. Cocteau painted (or in his own words “tattooed”) the house walls with amazing frescoes, most of them inspired by Greek Mythology.
Three years after he painted the walls, Cocteau designed the mosaics for the entrance.

The Dining Room tapestry was also designed by Cocteau
