Named Villa D'Este after the famed 19th-century Italian hotel on Lake Como, which is itself named for the famed 16th-century Roman estate, a mansion for sale in Thornhill takes cues from Italian architecture and luxury resorts.

And like its Italian counterpart, where a room currently starts at about $1,200 a night, the 12,000-square-foot mansion at 31 Thornbank Road in Thornhill doesn't come cheap: It is listed for nearly $11 million.

At the entrance of the home at 31 Thornbank Rd. in Thornhill there is a dramatic staircase and marble floors.
