Its symmetrical façades are organized around nine bays, each marked by a slight projection crowned with a triangular pediment. The interior preserves plasterwork decoration from the late eighteenth century: marble fireplaces, tall mirror frames in worked wood, and double-leaf doors adorned with musical motifs and hunting scenes.
