In the twentieth century, the palace’s harem becomes the property of an eccentric Englishman by the name of David Edge, who turns it into a timeless place ideal for relaxation, daydreams and creativity. Later, his friend Adolfo De Velasco, a Spanish antiquarian and fashionable couturier, carries on his work. Famous for his taste for luxury, his eccentricity and his flamboyance, he turns the palace into a setting worthy of a thousand and one nights – a sumptuous backdrop for his dinners and his numerous parties.
Today the sultan’s harem is owned by Baron and Baroness Gillion Crowet, great collectors and connoisseurs. Enchanted by the magical feel of the place, they have written a new chapter in the palace’s history, adding to it the superb neighbouring property previously belonging to a general. The palace thus became a much larger property that, thanks to its two thousand m² , can accommodate any number of friends and public figures.
