The most aristocratic mansion in Madrid!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 лис 2024
- Discover how a 19th Century aristocrat in Madrid really lived. And what is the true opulence of a 19th Century aristocrat in Spain? This week, Ollie and Camilla are exploring Spain's capital and take you inside this striking seventeenth-century mansion, right in the heart of the city. Once owned by the Marquis of Cerralbo, you can really sense the 1800s splendour of this impressively designed and decorated mansion. As well as stunning interior design, it houses a collection of over 50,000 objects, many rare, from coloured glass chandeliers, to sumptuous furniture, floral vases and much, much more.
And for the final section of this episode, we take you to a little palace, once home to the artist Joaquín Sorolla, famous for his depiction of light in painting. The palace retains the much of its traditional decoration, and houses many of Sorolla’s most famous paintings, and outside, we enjoy exquisite gardens boasting beautiful water features and quiet contemplative corners.
An enormous thank you to all our Patreons for supporting our project!

The most exquisite house, to think someone lived in all this opulence. Every chandelier is mind blowing. The architecture in every room is so stunning. I'm lost for description of what you filmed.

What a Unbelievable Place, The Antiques and Light Fittings Fantastic, And Such a Beautiful Garden. Love Water In a Garden. X 😘
A feast for the eyes. Such beauty and all the people queuing to appreciate it! The art gallery and gardens with water features were my favourite. Thank you for taking me along with you.
Oh the artwork, absolutely fabulous…
I have chandelier envy, those were stunning! The art is truly admirable to be sure. I have always love home tours of historic people and love museums, so it pleases me that you take time to share all of this with us. I appreciate what you do.
Thank you. It was too stunning a place not to be shared. We are so glad you enjoyed it. Those chandeliers were truly magical. Thank you for joining us. 💖💖💖

Thank you Ollie and Camilla for introducing me to an artist whom I can’t believe I never heard of - Sorolla! I just can’t believe I have never seen his work - how incredibly wonderful his art is!
His work is wonderful. I am so glad you like it too!
Wow love the dining room Chandelier.
Fabulous!! Thank you so much. Just wonderful to watch.
What can I say that you haven’t said already? It takes my breath away. Such opulence and absolutely exquisite💖 Some of those paintings look three-dimensional. My favourite paintings is of the ladies dressed in white standing up side-by-side with an umbrella and the one standing on the her own in light blue outfit. Well done loved it 🥰

Madrid is wonderful....thank you for taking us along for a "peek"👀 of what it has to offer. ❤
Love it as usual a great vlog
What an absolutely enjoyable episode.
The tour of the mansion was amazing. You were right on in your description of falling in love with an interior only to walk into another even more fabulously decorated room and fall in love all over again.
I might be wrong, but I believe the carved duck is actually supposed to be a dolphin.
Everything was exquisite, down to the smallest details. Good advice to show up early.👍 The chandeliers, Stephanie would have lost her mind in there.
I love Joaquin Sorolla's work. What an incredibly gifted painter. What a joy to see so many of his paintings in one place.👍
Thanks for bringing us along with.❤

Absolutely! It was quite spectacular. We are so glad you enjoyed it 💖💖
WOW. Such a juxtaposition between the opulence and extravagance of the Marquis mansion and Cerralbo calm , full of light and color house. Camilla you find the best places to share with us!! And definitely, a pool such as the green one needs to be at MMM!♥️

Unbelievably stunning! That mansion was astounding, I've never seen such wonderful chandeliers and decor! And Joaquin Sorolla's almost ethereal works! The light in those paintings is surreal, just amazing. I'd be lost for words just being there!

Awe what a lovely time you two are having ❤️

Thank you for joining us. It was so inspiring and beautiful. We are lucky not only to visit but to be able to share it. 💖💖
Beautiful perfection!! Thank you!!
I loved seeing Sorolla's paintings in such a intimate setting. Puts me in mind of a little art gallery in Penzance Cornwall Penlee house of the Newlyn artists, not so grand but of its time.
Absolutely stunning museum,thank u both for taking us there! So many to see in Madrid!
Thank you 💖
The chandeliers were my favourite things in the first museum but it was an incredible mansion too. The second museum gardens were really lovely and the paintings of Sorolla were incredible. It has been said that the eyes are the windows of the soul but Sorolla's eyes, seemingly directed this light into the brush strokes as he painted. He perfectly captured his subjects in joyful and peaceful times of their lives. Thank you for sharing your delightful discoveries in Madrid. I will be watching this vlog many times.
Thank you Christine. We are so glad you enjoyed it. It was such an incredible place. We are so lucky to have been able to go and to share it with so many. Thank you for joining us. 💖💖💖
ok but I love the chairs in 6:25 that look like they have supermarket sheet cakes as cushions.
I love being with you on these trips. Your descriptions are delicious.
Hi, y'all, it's me again! I just can't get over the details in this home! It's truly sumptuous! ❤
The best tour any UA-camr has ever shown !!!!!!!
Best line: Ollie: “We should get matching outfits!” Camilla, “That’s taking it a step too far!” Bwahahahahaha 😂😂😂😂😂
I was expecting a little museum but this is out of this world WOW. How could you chose a favourite room thanks for showing. I’m going to watch this vlog several times now in my saved favourites
Thank you. We are so glad you enjoyed it. It was such an amazing and inspiring place. Thank you for joining us.💖💖💖
Thank you so much for taking me to those amazing places , I particularly loved the art gallery
Thank you. This was great. Lovely visuals, music, and editing.
Absolutely EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE is a work of art! I would have to have a little lie-down frequently before moving on to another room! 😆
Those are Murano glass chandaliers, aren't they?
And, oh those painting in the second place you showed us! I want one! Or two, or three! 😍
Thank you for sharing this with all of us. We are blessed!
I don't believe we have anything like this at all here.
Love Jacqueline from New Zealand
I did feel like having a lie down between each room. 😂It was a total feast for the senses. So much to take in. We are so glad you enjoyed it. It is so wonderful for us to share these magical places. Thank you for joining us 💖💖

Thank you for taking us along to see so much beautiful art!
its just amazing how the aristrocrats really lived in the 1800,s probably a good thing the poor people didnt see this or there would have been a lot of rioting going on! just amazingly beautiful!
Now is the same but they have gadgets
You think that the aristocratic chamber pots emptied themselves?
omg, the things we dont think about!!@@waldemarsikorski4759
Thanks for the tour of this simply Amazing house/ museum…. Yes Camilla hard to chose the best room 😍
So true! I am glad it is a museum now, so we can all see it and all share the beauty, inspiration, creativity and incredible craftsmanship that went into these places. To think of the hours of painstaking work to create it. The talent. The imagination, vision and sheer hard work really has to be appreciated. It was such a magical experience to see it all and we are very lucky to be able to share it with so many others. We all love to dream and be touched by beauty.
