Living in a 1200-year-old castle in Italy, what kind of experience is it?

I was fortunate enough to live in the 1200-year-old Nandi Castle in Italy, where Princess Margaret, the sister of the Queen of England, once lived for ten years. Now the main building of the family castle has been converted into a private museum, showcasing the extravagant life of the nobility hundreds of years ago. Each room has its own story and subtle details, which are overwhelming. To visit the castle and enter the Duke's private residence, permission and invitation are required. We were fortunate enough to receive an invitation and took a tour with the castle's butler. The castle is so beautiful, with a flickering fireplace burning flames, emitting the scent of tree resin, and a hint of smoke. There are crossbows from a thousand years ago, a dream kitchen, and everything is a collectible antique. It's all a product of money piled up. You can feel the life full of ritual in the old aristocratic family, which is also a very rare experience! It was very satisfying to stay here for one night in this life. Next to the castle is a guest hotel and an interesting restaurant, but unfortunately it is currently not open to the public. Vicenza, Veneto.
