A Palace is just a home like any other, countless memories are made inside, love is created, and fights are fought. This was nonetheless true for the extravagant palace of the Italian Giogino Family.
At the end of the 19th century, the family left their home country Italy behind to pursue business and politics in their neighboring country Switzerland, in doing so they build a grand palace in Swiss Italian style and brought their whole family over. At one point over 40 family members lived inside its walls, one can only imagine the atmosphere that used to transpire inside this place!
The family stayed very influential over the course of the century, but eventually, its numbers started to dwindle, times changed, and the younger generation moved out and started living on their own. This continued until the early 2000s, when the last inhabitant, mister Marco, passed away and left everything behind to crumble apart.
It has been 16 years now since the Giogino family stepped foot inside their palace, today we are at its doorstep to take a look inside its forgotten walls.

It doesn't matter how many of these videos I watch it always breaks my heart to see all off the beautiful furniture and other antiques just left to rot.
Me, too! And it bugs me that the owner doesn't just open the doors and allow people to take things that can be used. All the rugs drive me crazy!
@@karensimons6885 ¹
Yeah I mean obviously can’t really take from them customers and do you have owners but there comes a point where it would be so much better if it was given away to the community especially the food and the wine et cetera
@@karensimons6885 😂
I feel the same way, why didn't they give it away. I would have some of those things.
I renovate neglected historic Italian villas and palaces in Tuscany on my channel, and honestly I can see that this place could still be saved! Even though ceiling plaster is starting to crumble, the integrity of the ceiling struts.. and actually the bones of building generally seem totally fine. FOR NOW!
There are still artists here in Italy which continue the art of ceiling fresco painting, so even these can be restored without much problem. I hope this place gets the investment and love it deserves sometime soon
I hope so too
It's so good to know you restore buildings like this! I hope you can network with Brothers Of Decay.
NO....SORRY. GET OUT THE BULLDOZER. THIS PROPERTY IS ALL USED UP. THE LAST INHABITANTS SURELY HAD SAD AND DEMENTED MINDS
I agree, that place seem near ready to move into, some minor repairs if roof is still keeping inside dry, most seems very good condition compared to many abandoned homes! If family still remain alive there nuts for leaving it! But if also millionaires, that why , they have no care for anything but themselves! In most cases!
I would be tempted to shut the open doors and windows to protect it from nature.
The reason i watch your channel is the great content but more importantly, the respect and care you take while you do your explorations. You take great care not to damage or exploit these grand spaces that once had families who loved, cried , died and lived their lives in them. It’s very important these places are shown so these people are not forgotten nor a way of life that will probably never be again. Thank you for your hard work and respect you show to those who once were.
I don't understand why you don't take a few objects to sell to atiquairs so you have extra money
@@denieuwetijd that would be stealing. They don’t own those properties or their content. And it would violate their efforts to leave things as they were found.
@@denieuwetijd if we get not ours some things have been cursed by the owner that whoever get their things will die and a lot of people.encounter this kind of things.
i wish he would say where these places are. I mean yes it's in Switzerland, but that is a big country. A little more info would be very nice. I love his videos but it would be nice to know where these places are.
@@andrewhemphill8999 Andrew i think the reason he does that is so people won’t despoil the buildings, stealing antiques and other valuables as well as just doing general destruction and graffiti. These places are abandoned and if people knew precisely where they were, their pristine condition wouldn’t last long. At least, thats my hypothesis.
The item in the bathroom at 23:15 you weren't sure what it was is a Antique Porcelain Sitz Bath. By 1900 they were specialized bathing devices in high-end bathrooms of the 20th century. Designed for hygienic-therapeutic use, as well as to appeal to the taste for luxury technology. Used to bathe handicapped or elderly or people of ill health more conveniently then in a regular bathtub. They were also marketed towards parents as a easier way to bathe children. Indeed I am sure only the very rich had them. In later years (& to the present times) Sitz Baths became used more for Hemorrhoids & when women got a Episiotomy during birthing, etc. I hope this helps you Lesley. ♥
Hello Cathy: it helps indeed. Thanks .Cheers from Toronto!
Yaaaaay! Thank You!❤
Got it. Ty. 🙏
Thank you. Good to know.
What a wonderful place!
It’s another world!!
Those homes should be more protected by the local authorities, or even national! This places are pieces of historic value!!
Problem is the same for them as it is the families, cost. Now if they could make it so some kind of compensation like reduced taxes for helping is put up, these homes could become huge community assets and folks would have a sense of ownership. Alas, local and state governments would rather waste money on nonsense.

The glass chandelier in the grand room was probably made on the island of Murano! The feather style arms, the boboches, the glass flowers etc. are reminiscent of Murano wares! Fabulous piece!!!
Yes! I thought so too!!
Yes is true !
Yes. It looks exactly like Murano glass.
This maybe your best documentary, Lesley. Watching you and your companions travel the countryside to arrive in this once grand palace felt epic. Every inch of the space was thought out for design and elegance. Time travel could be one way of looking back to once was, but imagination works better to see how grand this massive home is. But where were the kitchen and dinning area's. It's a mystery maybe for another adventure?
I am grateful for your attention to secrecy, and all of the respect you hold for the families and locations of all the places you explore, Lesley. Thank you so much for this opportunity to see into the past. Take care.
Yes, I was also wondering about the kitchen and dining room. I did not see it or maybe Lesley did not film these areas. Great video, isn´t it?
This mansion had some of THE most eclectic things in it! So many weirdly unique things, and I agree, that last big chandelier...just wow!!
Same here I feel same way. Hi Cynthia how are you doing with your family i do hope you’re safe from the Covid?
It looked like Murano glass.
I love the way you speak of the homes. So caring & the excitment of the adventure. You truly show the love you have for what you do!
Your always respectful an caring about the home you go to ,that means a lot about the person
LOVE LOVE LOVE everything bout this house!! The painted ceilings and chandeliers are nothing short of SPECTACULAR!! Truly an amazing explore and it made my whole day!! Thank u for sharing your adventure with us!
If 40 people lived in the place at one time all those bedrooms were not for children. It was common for married adults to sleep in separate beds. The rooms with only one bed was probably for single adults or late teens. The room with the 4 bunk beds was definately a child's room and the bedroom closest to that room was probably for a nanny. I also noticed what appeared to be a picture of the palace on the label of the wine bottles. With the large funnel at the beginning of the video I think, perhaps, they may have made their own wine. I love how you say, "tinted glass" instead of stained glass! I love to travel along with you via your videos. Thank you for sharing with us.
Hello Peggy how are you doing with your family i do hope you’re safe from the Covid?
Absolutely fascinating 👏 I am going to watch more, thank you bros decay
I am literally obsessed with your videos these are so satisfying to watch..keep going!
Thank you so much 🥰
@@BrosOfDecay , you put the words be respectful, so please may I ask not to use God’s name in vain for us that believe in God. Say “Oh, my Gosh”. I enjoy your channel and have for a year or more.
@@Cheetoluv AGREED ! ... ... I have another suggestion that is slightly different ... ... It's OK to say "Oh! My God" ... ... just PLEASE don't forget to put the ending on it, the "ness" so it is "Oh ! My GOODNESS !"
Me too, so grateful for this channel. You bring back my fairy tale dreams from when I was little.
Thank you so much. If you ever want to come to South Africa you let me know😊
@@BrosOfDecay Смотрят люди разных стран, сделайте пожалуйста субтитры 🙏
my favorite part about these painted ceilings is that the artist will paint the shadows away from the windows to give the ceiling a feeling of extra depth and realism. for a period of time, any wall sconces or standing candelabras would also primarily be installed on or near the window wall in order to create the same effect at night.
EDIT: I wrote my comment right as I got to 21:30. although i'm not 100% certain, your mystery object looks like the brass base of a very early, wall-mounted gas lamp, where the gas line might have been run up through the wall at the time this building was constructed, or it might have been added not long after. i'll add another edit if i see anything that changes my mind in your video, lol.
Just want to say what I’ve said many times before - love your documentaries!
I’m in my mid 60’s so sometimes I have to remember that my age allows me to know things that you may not when it comes to these homes.
The last room is probably the receiving room where persons would have waited perhaps to be invited into the office which was nearby or as a pass through to go into the second to the last room where the owners would have entertained. The middle is quite open because back in the day when it was built ladies were wearing quite large skirts on their dresses and needed to pass one another without practically knocking each other over.
The main dining room would be the one where the plate warmer in the radiator was. I noticed that the top was flat so they may have used that space as a place to keep other things warm.
Thank you Leslie for you’re hard work in making theses documentaries for us.
All the best! K.
Hi KitKat. I was going to say the same things! I'm also a tad older, lol! I'm sure you know this, but for others I'll say that another way to tell if it's a dining room is if the subject matter of the painted ceiling or plaster work is food. I've learned that from Laine Berry of Our Restoration Nation - another TH-cam channel. She's taught me so much.
This place sure looked clean of cob webs and dust being it's been abandoned for 17 years! Shocking how clean!
So very lucky you are to see things like that in that European landscape and atmosphere. Finding property like that here in the US is hard to come by. Everything gets swallowed up by the next housing development.
Inheritance laws in many parts of Europe are quite complicated. Many times it needs all the family left behind to agree to sell a property or it gets left to rot away. Near my old house in France was a beautiful Chateau that was left to decay because the family couldn’t agree what to do with it. I managed to get inside and was amazed to see what was left behind. And still there so many.
@@123boat that's definitely the interesting part about watching these documentaries is that so much is just left. So many beautiful pieces of history and heritage. And I have heard and read about those laws there that seems to leave things completely alone to decay on their own if not all agree. Here, it's more probate. They all need to decide something or eventually the government strong arms their way in if there was never a will. The government gets it eventually and the history just vanishes.
Belíssimo castelo 🏰! Esses jovens são de grande bravura! Parabéns 👏👏 é uma pena que não tem legenda em português!
Same thing in all of Canada that I've seen. I was able to find abandoned farmhouses to explore as a young teenager, but they've all been torn down now. And most have new houses on them now too. I would love to find a home like this to explore! And not just virtually. But thank you Bros, you always do a respectful and thorough job. Love the channel ✌👍🙏💯
@@cypher7648 Me thinks you need to come to Europe 🤔👍
Kitchen? I would think that the last living family member would have used it. Very unique castle. The place is dusted & no cob webs or infestations. Somebody cares. 😊 Thank you, Leslie
I too get the impression that we didn't see all of it. That would have been a very long video. Yes, they left out the kitchen(s?) and who knows what else?
@@michaeljarosz4062 Finished Lynnwood Hall yesterday. 110 rooms, 55 bedrooms, 20 baths & 5 museums. Grand & very interesting.
Thank you Lesley for sharing this video, you're so thoughtful and respectful of other people's property that is what I love about you and Maureno
That was one of the most beautiful homes I've ever seen! Thank you so much.I hope you're ok after hitting your head!I hope you didnt get a whiplash! The ceilings were a work of art,the detailing,crown moulding&the furniture! You really found a beautiful diamond in the rough! Thank you so very much for your hard work&dedication!!
The painted ceilings, rich wallpapers and upholstery, and gorgeous woodwork and furniture of this Italian inspired home are simply mesmerizing. The superb examples of Art Nouveau influence makes this palace
a true piece of history and should be preserved at all cost. This is truly one of my favorite of your explorations. Thank you so very much for sharing this magnificent palace. ❤️
Collectors would love that furniture, it’s beautiful.
The chair looking tub, that's a 19th century sitz bath. They filled it with water and vinegar to soak the lady parts between baths.
You've had some grand palaces that you have shared with us, I feel this one is so unique and charming. The colors and designs were a feast for the eyes. I can't get over so many beautiful chandeliers :) Thank you so much again.
Nice find Lesley, the place is just stunning. The rooms where fruit (mostly grapes) is painted on the ceiling or is carved into a chandelier medallion means it's the dining room. The chandelier is probably Murano (I hope I spelled it correctly) they design and make so many Italian glass chandeliers, their work is amazing. Thanks for caring and preserving the homes integrity. Love from NY.
Good to know they had up to 40 family members living there together. A family compound so to speak. I would love to see it fixed up and reopen to the public somehow. Maybe a hotel, a museum, or even apartments or condominiums? I don’t know.
I appreciate you protecting places history. I can almost hear families filling the places with laughter and life.
So much in this big estate! Woodwork in a honey finish, beds, cabinets, wardrobes. Ceilings with paintings and original lights, many chandeliers. Very different from most places you have filmed. Beautiful. Thank you, Lesley! A fun explore. Love that tiled little stove and the hall tree! Beautiful antiques now.
Lovely. I was disappointed that you didn’t show a kitchen. Thank you for sharing.
Lovely, Lesley, just lovely! Hope you won't have a headache from hitting your head! What you do to recreate these people's lives is amazing. Thank you so much!
Soooo good. These insights into the past are really interesting and amazing. Its hard to believe they still exist in such numbers and how you manage to find them over and over again is something I love to follow. Dont stop! Whatever you do, and we'll keep watching.
All I can say is wow. Such a beautiful home. Thank you for sharing. Well done.
Beautiful palace Leslie , Shocked to se the palm trees I always thought there would be just pine trees .Painted ceilings and furniture are stunning. Another treasure you have shown us. Hope our friend Mureno is safely home with his parents ,I haven't had any news ? Hope all well. Pam
The last hallway with the big windows is so beautiful, and the painted ceilings are treasures. It is devastating to think it will all be lost, except for the fact that you have saved it on video ❤️ I feel badly that you hit your head on that beam, but I also laughed because I do that once or twice a year in our basement and I have to say that you exhibit strong self control because the things I say when I do that are not family friendly.
Wow, this is one of the best places you have ever been! Thank you for sharing the journey to get there, that was really nice. The furnishings, stain glass windows, and painted ceilings were all amazingly beautiful. Take care.
Once again another beautiful job! So much respect and dedication, but a genuine joy in discovery of each new piece! Love and blessings
So sad there was not enough time to go into every room. Beautiful floors and unique door frames. I love the little details.
An amazing tour of an amazing building. I do wish we could have seen the kitchen, always my favourite room of any home. And what about the basement furnace/boiler room? I'd like to see how they supplied the hot water for the radiators.
Absolutely amazing palace. Thank you for sharing this with us!
A winding staircase is one of my very favorite things… what a great outbuilding! Thanks for being willing to go there!
Absolutely stunning yet again a beautiful video, would be amazing one day you could come to England 💕
Hey Lesley! Good afternoon! How was the trip to Portugal? 🤗❤🇧🇷 Good to see you again! This is definitely one of the amazing videos. 👏👏
I love love love thé view of the little Swiss mountain road and the sweet tiny villages you’re driving through! Thanks for including this!
I have to say that I have seen several videos of abandoned mansions and newer large homes. You guys are very professional. Respectful. No laughing and profanity. No running around. Great job.
Irecredible documentary of a place! I was amazing by Italian influence in the place and loved it! Stained glass windows are amazing 🤩
Thanks for the tour with respect for the family. The small roads are so interesting. ♥️
What do you mean? The family was Italian. It’s in the Italian (speaking) part of Switzerland. Italians had a big influence here.
@aliceparkswiss I was shocked in a good way. I absolutely loved it
Woow, dear Lesley, you finally made my evening after a rather dull Sunday! - What a great highlight to finally watch a video from
one of my most favourite explorers! - It's so incredibly heartwarming to listen to you, when you are praising my home country.
When you were visiting this abandoned palace from the 19th century, you were probably coming to my place after that, last year, right?
Incredibly beautiful and ornate ceilings in the neo baroque style. - Wonderful furniture! Especially in one bedroom the whole
furniture, the beds, cabinets and wardrobe were designed in the same style. I would say probably 110-120 years old in a very
clear art nouveau style with these beautiful floral decor carvings and the initials, how they are looking, leads me also to
the conclusion of art nouveau! - I am not quite sure, but on one ceiling I think, that I recognized a chandelier made from Murano glass
and in another room the lamp in the ceiling showed typical art deco features, maybe art nouveau. - And - I fully agree to you: I also hate
seeing these horrible graffities in such historical locations and the traces of vandalism. - This whole place was absolutely
wonderful to see and had somehow also an enchanted vibe. - Thank you, dear Lesley, for sharing this amazing location. - I also loved
your enthusiasm and excitement, when you were exploring this fascinating palace.
I am still so much looking forward to your next visit at my place! - Stay safe, peace and many hugs, dear bro!
Blessings and kindest regards.
Amazing amazing amazing so beautiful Leslie you have done it again with another wonderful mansion.Lucky you for going and lucky for us to see it all through your eyes.Thank you for all you do.
What a spectacular place!😍 I really missed watching an exploration of an Italian palace!
I love the exquisite elegant interior design, those lovely ceilings, the furniture, the tinted glass ,that variety of colours and shapes: everything's a proof of good taste and care for beauty and harmony! Thank you for this wonderful exploration, you're always great at what you do! 👏
This is absolutely such a gem in the wilderness. The ceilings were uniquely designed. I sort of think it started out as a home for some very rich people, but ended up being ass a school or orphanage for children? Not sure but think as the furniture was placed together very closely as to perhaps help the children sort of console each other perhaps? It could be frightening to small children even if this was their own home, it would take time to find their way around. they either had many children, or this is what happened over the years. It looked like people rented at first and then had to change my mind later.
Can see the elegance all over this palace.
The talk you gave and the showing respect you have for each place you visit means so much. Am glad you reminded people of the "rules" people should be under when coming to places as such. These were homes of people who loved their homes and worked hard to live in his way. It was not as easy as it all looks to get to this point in life. It is enough all of this is being ruined, but people do not need to rush it along. Many need to learn history and enjoy seeing how people lived at various times in history.
Was feeling so badly when you hit your head on that horribly low beam! Glad you were alright in the end. Not a good idea to have them so low. You wonder how many people have not done this before?
Obrigado por mostrar esses lugares maguinifico 🇧🇷
As always Lesley, you have done a good job. Just keep your programmes running. We love you!
I think the beautiful room at 48 minutes was the dining room. The ceiling motif is all about food, the carvings on the furniture are all food items. The drawer that you opened which was lined with shelf paper is the kind of drawer one would put silverware in. The warming box in the radiator might have served to keep dishes or food warm. Beautiful tour. I love the Italian art and design throughout.
I'd like to say Thank you for taking everyone into this beautiful castle. It's a shame that no one could of bought it. If there gonna knock it down. I hope the officials of the town will take the beautiful antiques and the chandeliers it'd be terrible to see the beds ( not mattress) and have a auction. They seem like they were in good condition. . I absolutely enjoyed going through this castle. I love your channel.
I ❤ the furniture and the ceilings. Must have been magnificent in its day. 😊
Another amazing find, thank you. I can tell that you really love what you do. Wish you all the best on your journey.
What a good job you guy's do showing us all these marvelous places. Keep up the good work and I'll surely keep watching.
I would love to explore this magnificent place!! It's absolutely gorgeous 🥰
So sorry you bumped your head! Ouch! 😢 Such a wonderful palace. That last small room was incredible too! It looked like it was decorated in an Art Deco style. Rare in these places?! Anyway, thank you, guys!!❤
Leslie, Leslie, Leslie! I SO enjoy your vids! Thanks so much for taking us along with you. I especially enjoy the way you are including a bit of the road trip at the beginning of the video. I still can't believe how no one from the family can do something with those beautiful pieces of furniture and lighting and art, such a shame. I can't wait till the next adventure!
It is so great to see both of you again,,,, I have been ill but getting better and i am so happy to hear your voice again
Another great exploration of an abandoned house by Bros of Decay... leave no trace, leave no sign, could be another slogan for you, respectful looking and filming 😉.
Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints 👣!
Люблю такие сюжеты про заброшки которые показывают бренность человеческого бытия с присущим ему накопительством и прочими вещами

Thanks for including the drive through the town and the scenery. And I’m glad the church bells rang because it heightens the experience. You edited it perfectly.
Thank you soooooo much Lesley your Bros of Decay can entertain very much to the MAX!!! GOD Bless!:)
Que lugar esplendoroso!!! Parece um sonho!!!
C'est vraiment désolant de voir ce palais ainsi a l'abandon !! avec ces plafonds magnifiquement peints ainsi que le mobilier ancien. Ce qui fait peur, c'est la végétation qui commence à entrer. La prochaine fois faites attention aux poutres!!!😅😍😀
Chac noi nay co ran rat nhieu .cac ban hay can than.toa lau dai bi bo hoang.that buon .😌
You have a unique way of showing history . One can feel good and warm inside with you and feel yhe care behind your words and you have a wonderful music taste in the background,
So magnificent place. Thank you for showing it.
The room with the fruits depicted in the ceiling painting would have been the dining room. For centuries it was quite usual for the decorations in a room, i.e. the carvings in the fire surround or the painted or plaster frieze, to reflect the room's purpose. Thus, in a music room, there would be motifs representing music, instruments or perhaps the classical gods of music, in a library motifs might include books, scholarly items and representations of actual scholars, and so, in a dining room, fruit or game and a cornucopia were often depicted. A further clue to the room's identity is found in the radiator that incorporates the little cabinet (with doors) that was used to keep dishes warm before service.
Oh, Thank you so much for this history. That room was unique. The radiator had me puzzled. What you stated in your comments makes so much sense. It is to small for food or linen. It was so beautiful.
Muchas gracias por los subtitulos 😘😘😘😘
sitz bath. A beautiful explore. Thanks for sharing it with us. It looks like someone must come in and clean occasionally. I feel like I could move in there pretty easily. 💖
Another great video, I really enjoy them. Thanks for sharing. Look forward to each new video. Be careful in your travels.
I am born and raised in Tennessee and I am amazed how the landscape is so similar. 🙀
Yeah Switzerland looks a lot like some parts in the US, especially Montana.
The outlet in the first bedroom you came to is the base for the "pull". Homes with servants had these in their bedrooms and living areas to call servants. There were ornate hangings from those outlets, which connected to cables that went to the servants quarters (generally in the basement). Each cable corresponded to a bell marked with the room that pull was located in. So if the master woke - they pulled the rope and the corresponding bell marked "Master" rang in the servants quarters to let them to know to begin dressing them..
You are no. 1. We need more people like you in the world. Thank you.!!!!☮☮❤❤🌟🌟
My new favorite explore man. Thank you for being so thorough, it's like really being there with you. This is awesome , I love love love these houses. OMG your shows are superb. Stay safe.
Th>s castle was beautiful, thank you for taking along with us. I have a suggestion, maybe as you walk through these homes that are still in fairly good shape (for the most part) maybe close the windows that are open in the rooms you are showing. As I went along with you I wanted to close them. 🙂
So did I !
This place was magnificent! I really enjoyed the tour. Thanks! But, no kitchen?
My favorite things of these old homes are the lights and chandeliers....magnifique
Wow!! The view from the flat top balcony!! Incredible!!!
As a you g girl (back in the late 60's, 70's) this is just how I imagined my future home. Love LOVE love love this!!!!!!! Thanks for finding and showing this as the memories it brought back were wonderful
Dios mío , no puedo creer que desperdicio que terminé así un hogar que fue decorado con tanto amor , saludos desde PERÚ 🌷
Love the intro with you guys getting up and the drive through the tight roads, nice to see. The place was so pretty, quality. Lovely beds - the stunning way they made them back in the day. That fire/ burner was so pretty and I think you were right it’s the prettiest one yet. I could sit in that Blue room all day as it looked and felt very calm and soothing. Love the chandeliers as well, love all of it. Beautiful explore 🌹
Love this tour. The way You describe all of the places, You tell the stories of the these magnificent castles, and do it very well! So glad I found You Men.
Very interesting place to have discovered. I am happy to see you are living your dream, doing what you love.
The extra fixture in the big bathroom was called a sitzbath, they were used after horseback riding, and sometimes to freshen the lower part of the body between baths, back when people only bathed weekly.
The bedroom between the bathroom and the bedroom with the bust was probably originally slept in by the Ladies maid, and also served as the dressing room. The plainer room off the fancy children’s room might have been for their governess and nursemaid to sleep in. Servants of that type often slept within earshot of the family member they were serving.
General servants were often quartered in the attic, because it was hot in the summer for the family. It also meant that in case of fire, the family could more easily get out of the house, the higher the floor, the more dangerous. In a case of fire. The family would also know if a servant tried to leave the house at night, as they tried to keep their servants from going out and getting into trouble.
It would have been nice to have seen the kitchen, but it was a truly beautiful home, with interesting architecture and fabulous decor. Thank you for showing it to us.🖤🇨🇦

Enjoyed this very much!
❤️Thank you❤️
Thank you for sharing this grand tour and some of the history of the abandoned palace . It's heartbreaking to see it deteriorating and the griffiti is terribly disrespectful . What a beautiful house .
An absolutely phenomenal palace!!! I truly loved it!!! The property was breathtaking!!! The architecture was magnificent!!! The wooden doors, door casings, windows, window casings, antique wooden furniture…all sooo very beautiful & magnificent!!! The ceilings were gorgeous!!! The floor & wall tile, was sooo very durable & grand!!! I was happy to see that family had removed clothing, pictures, family memorabilia & personal items, from this property!!! Palm trees & split leaf philodendrons in Switzerland… WHAT??? I would have never guessed that they could have sustained the winters there!!! The roads were sooo very narrow!!! Good thing that the population is low & they drive slow👍🙏❤️ The country was absolutely gorgeous!!! I laughed… when you guy’s washed your face’s in that horse trough…I could feel just how cold that water was…done that 😳😂🤣
Sooo very glad that you guys can stay in your van & experience the great outdoors!!! Sooo very nice for you!!! Thank you for sharing this wonderful adventure with us Leslie!!! I truly loved it all 👍🙏❤️❤️❤️
That is called a "sitz bath ", to soak privates, relieve swelling and to get super clean, waters swirls around to improve circulation like a mini hot tub.
Exactly. This is one of the first I’ve seen in a private residence, indicative of the wealth and extravagance of this family. They are usually found in hospitals, clinics, etc.
Such a beautiful place the furniture looks so good to be there for the time it's been sitting!!!!!
I love all films of yours. Love how you introduce the places with attention to detail and huge respect to places and history.
Meus queridos, fico muito feliz ao ver seus vídeos. Sua forma de contar as histórias é muito especial. Você é muito carinhoso e cativante. Tenham cuidado ao dirigir essa van. Abraços e nos dê notícias de Maureno. assisto do Brasil e fico feliz quando você coloca a tradução em português! 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👍🏽
@ Eudas Miranda: I saw in my YT wall early this week a photo of him taking a meal inside a plane and caption was he was on his way going back to Amsterdam. He looked very well and he said he'll eventually upload what happened to him.
O vídeo co comentário, que falava sobre Maureno, parece que foi removido.
It’s almost a crime for these historic homes to not being taken care of!
I agree, such a shame for them to continue to deteriorate. Surely the local Government or Council could take over. Students could learn to renovate historical buildings and provide free labour, then they could open up the home to the public to raise money.
That telephone is priceless! Beautiful! Love the Italian inscription on the wall.
Love the history of these old places. Thank you.
