Sebastian's Villa

This 1920s villa, built by a Romanian millionaire who surrounded his fantasy home with huge expanse of white marble and arches, was once proclaimed by Frank Lloyd Wright as the most beautiful house he had ever seen. Sebastian entertained distinguished guests that included Hemingway, Scott Fitzgerald, Paul Klee, Winston Churchill and King George VI in this villa. No matter how powerful or famous his guests were , his bust which sits in the centre courtyard made sure that he was always the central figure in his home.
