"""Inheriting a house with a history poses unique challenges. Ned Lambton shares the story of refurbishing the 17th century Tuscan villa bought by his father Lord Antony Lambton in 1978. Villa Cetinale sits outside of Siena among vineyards and olive groves. Lambton and his wife reveal the fruits of redecorating while allowing the original character to shine through. In addition to a family retreat, the estate has hosted celebrities, politicians and royalty, which only adds a few more chapters to the villa’s history."" —MANSION GLOBAL"
