The small, single-storey Rococo villa comprises a narrow enfilade of ten principal rooms set on the brow of a terraced vineyard and is surrounded by formal gardens, colonnades and related outbuildings such as the Picture Gallery.

As it stood in 1747
The shape it held in its prime.
A long, single-storey ochre enfilade set on a terraced vineyard brow, relieved by a central three-bay bowed pavilion topped with a low copper-green dome. Tall, slender arched windows are set between carved sandstone atlantes and caryatids that support a stone balustrade adorned with urns. A shallow hipped roof is hidden behind the balustrade; the north approach forms a semicircular cour d'honneur with two deep rows of Corinthian columns. Scale is intimate and richly sculpted.
