This octagonal room which, in the documents, is referred to as the “boudoir” and “cafè haus”, was used as a parlour to which only the most intimate guests were admitted and which gave access to the bedrooms. Its ample circular space, characterised by the presence of niches and walls painted in Pompeian red recall the rooms of Roman baths. The first niche on the left bears the date 1858, the date in which the room was built.
The vault features a central ceiling rose that appears to hint at a nocturnal theme: six young women are wrapped inside a single light white cape by a maiden while the first stars start to shine in the night sky.
A burst of rays fans out of the ceiling rose, dividing the vault into eight segments that end with precious vases of flowers decorated with cameos.
Each segment contains a medallion with a female figure, some of whom are identified to be Muses and others the allegories of Liberal Arts, Agriculture and Industriousness.
Also the acoustics of the boudoir has been very well planned: when standing in the middle of the room, you can hear the echo of your own voice. The music-playing cupids painted in the pendentives seem to allude precisely to this capacity.
