A renovated mill in Italy
Wed, 23 May 2012A big thanks to Deb for giving us a tip about this gorgeous Italian mill, photographed by Stefano Scatà. Dating back to 1570 and located in San Bartolomeo di Breda di Piave, Treviso Italy, the mill is now an inn called Locanda Rosa Rosae and is owned by Elisabetta and Silvio Stefani. It's a gorgeous, jaw-dropping mix of old and new that is my absolute dream - to take something really old and modernize it while maintaining as much of the old charm as possible. *sigh* How rewarding that must feel when accomplished.

Hug from Lisa
Holy sh*t!! I want to live there too. AMAZING!!!
How is it that the most ornate furniture works so well in crude architecture? My favorite part is the 'dressing room' - there's whimsey and lightness in that picture. Plus, I'm over the consumer-based lifestyle; less is more works for me.
This is an absolute perfection !!!
Absolutely gorgeous. The right balance everywhere. And the mini "boardwalk-sitting bench" near the water: I am so doing this at my place and doing it this week!!
BEAUTIFUL! I'd like to visit for TWO WEEKS!! May I?
Um, hello, renovated mill people, can we switch lives?
Oh I love this... Italians are so damn sexy.
