A 74-room mansion used by Napoleon Bonaparte as his headquarters during a famous battle has been put up for sale.

Villa La Voglina in Piedmont, Italy, was built in the 18th century by the world-renowned Baroque architect Filippo Juvarra.

The historic property is set in 60 acres and boasts 13 bedrooms, nine bathrooms and a private chapel with seating for 30 people.

It is on the market at £3.8million with Beauchamp Estates, which also has a two-bedroom flat for sale at a similar price in London’s Belgravia.
