During the first half of the XIX century, Strassoldo Palace‘s rooms housed the last of France’s Royal Bourbons and their entourage, many distinguished names that accompanied that period’s history. Today, every room and flat recall the name of one of the august guests or of their dignitaries, who come to life again in the present atmosphere, making new patrons’ sojourn more intriguing.

The suites and most of the rooms display Biedermeier style furnishings. A sophisticated and timeless style, it goes back to the 1815-45 peace period. A few rooms, instead, contain some authentic, ancient pieces of furniture, the result of a patient research and loving restoration work. The rooms’ atmosphere conveys a remote and luminous order, which, at the same time, is comfortable, functional, elegant. The walls’ gentle colours are the background to the at times sprightly curtains and tapestries, and to prints depicting landscapes, interiors, maps.
Patrons are welcomed to an exclusive environment which matches the aura of an ancient palace of the XVIII century and the XXI century’s comforts. A rational and efficient use of power resources commended the employment of suffused lighting. Thus mostly energy-saving lamps are used, reproposing a fairy-tale like, welcoming and warm ambience.

The cherry and oak wood used for making the furniture comes from selective tree-cutting in controlled repopulation woods, the panels employed comply with E1 European regulations on low formaldehyde emissions. The so delicately thin, special Biedermeier series stripes, recalling filigree, are made of maple and walnut; drawers display dovetail joints, wooden nails witness our handicraft passion.

 

The accurate restoration permitted to recover many olden doors - now finely decorated with pure gold - and to realise floorings in oak heart-woods as well as in precious autochthonous marble stone, to employ tapestries and curtains classified FR class 1. The lobby’s silent wooden floor welcomes patrons just as it did in ancient times.
