The heart of a house
If the holiday you have in mind also entails a “journey” inside a place of living, historic homes are a precious opportunity to deepen the knowledge you have of yourself and those who accompany you.
Entering the heart of a house, taking possession of it, even just for a weekend, occupying its space, and then listening to your emotions, can tell you a lot about yourself. Because historic houses have stratified over time, have added and removed furnishings, created echoes of full and empty spaces and retained footprints.
After all, a house is a metaphor which can either convey a sense of protection or make us feel naked.
