As it stood in 1625
The shape it held in its prime.
A rectangular, three-storey cream-stucco villa with a low hipped tile roof, broad cornice and symmetrical façade; the central axis has a projecting loggia with three tall arched openings behind a balustraded terrace reached by a broad double staircase. The front shows stone rustication at ground level, framed rectangular windows with wrought grilles, sculptural niches and stucco reliefs on the piano nobile, and a shallow front piazza leading into parkland.
