Looking out on what feels like all of Tuscany. It is one of the more peaceful places on the estate to wile away a sunny, summer day.
Or an ideal location for virtually any event or special occasion one can imagine. It is also a personal favourite for Trudie, Sting, and the rest of the family. Formal Fountain.
When a stunning fountain that once belonged to Sophia Loren was sourced, Il Palagio was surely the perfect home for this gorgeous find, the epitome of Italian glamour. This may be the most spectacular place on earth to play a game of chess. The oversized chess set, reminiscent of that played by kings in their courts, sits just a few feet from the main villa pool.
The terraced gardens are beautifully manicured and graced by a stunning stone fountain that once belonged to Sophia Loren. There is a huge swimming pool, a tennis court, a brilliant huge outdoor chess board, and that is just the tip of the iceberg!

So, at age 18, young Trudie lit out for the birthplace of William Shakespeare. Sting was equally ambitious. With a series of worldwide hits including "Roxanne" , he was married with two kids when he met Trudie Styler.

With the help of experts and locals — some who had worked the land for generations — they brought back the olive groves, the vegetable gardens, and the vineyards. Sting has recorded four albums at the villa. He has a new one coming out this week, "My Songs," with a world tour to follow. At age 67, slowing down his tempo is not an option, even though he's is now a grandparent.
Even though I've got six children, never thought they would have children.
