fountain

Located within the center of the sprawling manor's concave tiled courtyard, the Fontana Dei Desideri is a masterpiece on it's own. When viewed against the trim backdrop of the acres of rose gardens and ivy-covered gazebos, however, it appears even more stately and commanding. The numerously-tiered fountain allows water to trickle down the scalloped dishes, creating a harmoniously soothing sound that echoes above the ground floor. Long wooden benches adorn the courtyard surrounding the fountain, shaded by the manor walls but softly hit by the morning sunlight.
