$35 MILLION DOLLAR MEDIEVAL ITALIAN CASTLE

November 3, 2014

Sitting area in Castello di Modanella

Monday musings…life in a castle…

Castle Modanella (or Castello di Modanella) was built in the 12th century and has been added to ever since.  The property spans over 1,500 acres and between all of the farmhouses, apartments and the castle itself…the interior square footage is around 107,000 square feet.  This castle in the heart of Tuscany just outside of Sienna also is replete with vineyards and produces wines.  Currently the spaces are rented out for weddings and for guest travelers. While some of the interior spaces were re-imagined in the 18th century and moving forward, the castle apparently has stayed true to its medieval origin.

Would make for a nice family home right…?  Just a little old castle in Tuscany.  Hmmm…thinking.   Just need $35 million dollars and a VERY large family and I am good to go!

This home is listed by Sotheby’s International Realty.  Click here for even more photos!

I guess before it is sold…you could go visit there and take a little vacation.  I found the Castello di Modenalla website and the Modenella Facebook page (see some of the events and weddings that have been held there).

Might have to convince TE to take me to this castle so I can survey the grounds to figure out whether castle life is for me!!

Happy Monday!

P.S.  Malibu Morning – Every weekend, my guy TE and I go out to Malibu…to look around and check on things so to speak.  This weekend, since TE is away (now in Taipei for business), I went by myself…to look around…early early Saturday morning after it rained here Los Angeles.  I took Mr. Boo (my dog) to this favorite spot in Malibu and took a few photos there.  Here’s a snap of Mr. Boo enjoying the view of Point Dume. It was so pretty looking out over the Pacific Ocean…so clear after the rain.  Check out COCOCOZY Instagram for more from my weekend.  Make sure to follow me on Instagram @cococozy

Starting the week with good energy, a little confiStarting the week with good energy, a little confidence, and absolutely no reason to wait for Friday to feel fabulous. 😉

Heidi Caillier Design took this historic San Francisco home and layered floral wallpaper, striped drapery, checked linens, and antique textiles room after room without a single one feeling overdone. Marble mantels, gilt mirrors, brass fixtures, and warm wood floors do the quiet work of holding it all together.
This is what happens when “more” is chosen on purpose.
Save this for the masterclass in mixing prints. 🔖

A great bathroom isn’t just functional, it’s the one room in the house that’s entirely yours. The stone you choose, the way light hits the fixtures, the tub you actually want to sit in. These are the ones that get it exactly right.
Save this for your next bathroom renovation inspo and follow for more. 🖤

Happy Labor Day! 🇺🇸 Here’s a little throwback toHappy Labor Day! 🇺🇸
Here’s a little throwback to a Labor Day dinner party I hosted a few years ago, and honestly, we’d still do it this way. 🥂✨
Hosting this Labor Day? Keep it simple:
• Set the table with one statement detail + neutral basics
• Choose a menu you can prep ahead so you’re not cooking all night
• Add candles or flowers to make the table feel special
• Serve everything family-style for a more relaxed feel
• Don’t overthink it. The best dinners are the ones where everyone lingers a little longer 🤍
Save this for your next dinner party and send it to someone who’s hosting! 🍽️

The bouclé sofa isn’t a trend, it’s a commitment. The bouclé sofa isn’t a trend, it’s a commitment. Soft, sculptural, and impossible to walk past without wanting to sit down. The rooms that get it right pair it with something unexpected: a dramatic mural, an antique screen, a city skyline, a hand-laid mosaic floor.
Which bouclé sofa room would you want to sink into? Drop your answer 👇
