Osborne House is the stunning seaside retreat of Queen Victoria that was also designed by Prince Albert, and loved so much by them both as they enjoyed a quieter life away from court in this perfect setting. Recognised as her favourite spot in the world, you can enjoy a glimpse of royal family life in this sumptuous ltalianate villa and its beautiful grounds, preserved as it was when the Queen died here in 1901. Step inside to explore the sumptuous ground floor state rooms that were used to entertain heads of states, princes and princesses. Admire the ornate architecture, furnishings and fine art collection and discover Victoria and Albert’s personal taste, style and passions. Relax in the open air as you wander rolling acres of the magnificent Osborne estate. Take in the riotous colours of the walled garden, or enjoy the peaceful shade of the woodland walk. Visit Victoria and Albert’s bathing beach and admire their children’s cottage for an intimate glimpse of royal family life. Stroll through the garden terraces and take in the same stunning views across the Solent that once reminded Prince Albert of the Bay of Naples.
