We Found an Italian Villa

Plus, the latest snore from Vogue, and you can buy Karl Lagerfeld's old Diet Coke!

No reason, but… should we chuck it all and move to Italy? Because I’ve found an excellent new DWB HQ. It is a lakefront villa on Lake Maggiore and it is eccentric/spectacular! The listing notes that it boasts “a magnificent mosaic floor in the lake-facing courtyard bordered by a nymphaeum and statues from the seventeenth century,” all of which are obviously must-haves for us. Who buys an Italian headquarters without a nymphaeum? Idiots, that’s who. Couldn’t be me! There is also a swimming pool, a tennis court, a dock for the boat we’re clearly going to get, a wealth of ceiling frescos, and some seriously exceptional views. The grounds look unbelievable. There are no photos of the kitchen or any of the bathrooms but I’m sure that’s FINE, and yes, of course, it is “price on application,” but whatever! We can swing it. It will be worth it. Think of the aperol spritzes!
