The property developer and husband to Princess Beatrice offers his stylish, Grade II-listed London flat for rent.
Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, property developer and husband to Princess Beatrice, has put his chic one-bedroom Bayswater apartment on the rental market for £4,550 per month. The Grade II-listed flat, located in the sought-after Lancaster Gate area, offers a luxurious living space with stunning views over Hyde Park.
Spanning the first floor of a classic stucco-fronted townhouse, the 980-square-foot apartment blends period charm with modern design, making it a stylish urban retreat. With a mezzanine bedroom, walk-in wardrobe, and both ensuite and guest bathrooms, the property is a testament to the attention to detail Mapelli Mozzi is known for through his company, Banda Property.
The flat maintains original features such as high ceilings with intricate plasterwork, a marble fireplace, and Victorian sash windows, while incorporating sleek contemporary elements like floor-to-ceiling Crittall doors leading into the modern kitchen. The open-plan living and dining space exudes warmth and character, designed to be a “cosy, welcoming” environment. Clever storage solutions are scattered throughout the apartment, ensuring functionality is not sacrificed for aesthetics. The kitchen is fully equipped with two ovens and a wine fridge, offering a perfect balance of practicality and luxury.
The colour scheme is subtle, with neutral greys, beige tones, and pale wooden parquet floors creating a calm, inviting atmosphere. A mustard yellow velvet sofa injects a pop of colour into the living room, while quirky touches, such as a cushion reading “No dogs on this sofa” and a sketch of a dog in the kitchen, add personality to the space.
The flat’s history also adds to its allure. It was once the home of Alexander Murray, the 8th Earl of Dunmore, a decorated soldier and the first journalist to receive the Victoria Cross in 1897 for his bravery. Mapelli Mozzi, a fan of historical buildings, has expressed his admiration for the heritage of such properties, noting their authenticity and individuality.
Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi married in Windsor in 2020 and have since been spotted attending high-profile events, including Wimbledon and the National Gallery’s inaugural summer party. The couple is reportedly planning to move into their newly renovated £3.5 million farmhouse in the Cotswolds, after spending time living at St James’s Palace with their daughter, Sienna.
For now, the stylish Bayswater property remains available for rent through Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices.
