"Villa Cetinale: Memoir of a House in Tuscany" Book
Ned Lambton and his wife Marina inherited a seventeenth-century Tuscan villa, lovingly restoring it as a retreat for family and friends. With photos from Simon Upton, Lambton chronicles Villa Cetinale's history, renovations, and unique dream of renovating a Tuscan villa. Located near Siena, Italy, the estate is surrounded by vineyards, olive groves, and untouched hills. Cetinale was acquired from the Chigi dynasty in 1978 when Lord Antony Lambton (the author's father) reimagined it with new gardens, hosting notable guests such as Princess Margaret, Prince Charles, Mick Jagger, and Kate Moss. Refurbishments preserved the villa's character, with restoration by Bolko von Schweinichen and interiors by Camilla Guinness.
