Adjacent to
Giudecca and sharing a bathroom in the southeast tower is the guest room Goyesca. Named after the Neoclassic murals which cover the walls which depict Roman styled grotesques, I'm not sure the theme is the most appropriate or restful for use in a bedroom but they are none the less lovely!
Despite the pink lined bed canopy and delicate plaster ceiling medallion, I think this room has a decidely masculine feel to it, don't you? Maybe it's just the restrained neoclassical decorations which appeal to me.
The advantage of a tower bedroom is multiple exposures; here facing the bay as well as the gardens.
Other guest rooms feature just as much detailing in the wall coverings, such as the one below which has a strong chinoiserie influence.
So many guest rooms, could you possibly just choose one? I wonder how many guests would switch rooms weekly to experience them all!

Maybe it has to do with the strength of the quality of the architecture, but I think all the interiors of the house are masculine despite the delicacy of a few spaces. One of the really wonderful things about it is the appropriateness of the design to the exotic tropical setting and the bachelor owner.
Devoted, I can see your point and I think it has to do with the classical and somewhat spare nature of the house. Or maybe I just say it's masculine becuase I like it so much!
Stefan I love it and these images take my breath away!

I can never get enough of this style of grotesques, which I always think of as Neo-Pompeian.
Dandy -yes -it appeals to the architect in me -no frou frou!
Mark, I was thinking of you with this post actually and these 2 bedrooms. It also reminds me of the Pompeian style.
Great room !
