Library Lust

Library at La Foce

After a week of reading about Iris Origo (and blogging about her not once but twice), I (not surprisingly) turned to Google to look at La Foce, the estate Iris and her husband purchased in the 1920s. And you know what I discovered? A stunning library in a beautifully maintained home. Not only that: you can stay there. This is definitely going onto my dream vacation list.

What a beautiful estate. I’d be very happy in that library.

If you are ever on Long Island, you may wish to visit her grandfather’s estate, which is opened to the public. It is a beautiful spot on the south shore of Long Island.
