About this space

Tucked within Bayside Council and framed by manicured hedges, Rambling Italian Villa is an atmospheric, antiques-rich location inspired by the grand residences of Europe. Styled by its antique dealer owners over many years, the property is a rare offering—a layered, romantic space that feels like stepping into the grounds of a Venetian palazzo or a Tuscan estate.

Outdoors, the garden is a true statement piece. A parterre-style paved yard is lined with stone and adorned with French and Italian antiques, urns, and topiary. Lush hedging and mature plantings enclose the space, creating a green, gallery-like backdrop ideal for fashion editorials, high-concept portraiture, or music videos. The pool area, complete with a small conservatory, adds depth and a touch of European resort energy—perfect for summer-themed campaigns or elevated lifestyle content.

Inside, two indoor living rooms feature soaring ornate ceilings, French parquetry flooring, and styling that blends Venetian opulence with timeworn beauty. Walls are lined with gilt-framed art, aged mirrors, and heritage pieces that lend the space visual richness. Natural light moves softly through these rooms, catching on polished timber, velvet, and carved stone—a dream for detail shots and full-room compositions alike.

This is not a blank canvas—it’s a curated, character-filled location that invites stylists, photographers, and directors to work within its richly layered aesthetic. Every element has been placed with intent, and many furnishings are valuable antiques, so movement must be discussed in advance.

Whether you’re creating a fashion lookbook, filming a narrative piece, or staging a moody editorial, Rambling Italian Villa offers a visual narrative that’s already built in. It’s a space where story, texture, and elegance live in every corner.

Located within Bayside Council, this location suits small-scale, high-impact productions. Maximum respect for the space is essential—and it rewards those who come with a creative eye and a considered approach.
