The  forward thrust of the façade's elegant central volume is lightened by its wide openings and crowned by a high tympanum surmounted with statues. It is flanked on either side by blocks whose angularity is almost tower-like. A wide central flight of steps with beautiful wrought-iron balustrade descends in easy stages to a small Italian garden and, continuing downhill, a sweeping avenue of centuries-old trees descends trough the park to the old stables at the bottom. Another set of stairs in pink stone and cobbles leads under majestic old cypresses and umbrella pines to some out-buildings used for entertaining in the summer. Crossing the lawn in front, a broad flight of steps in Istrian stone goes down to a beautifully proportioned swimming-pool in the neoclassical style.

The ground floor of the Villa nowadays contains the kitchen and dining room, while the floor above known as "piano nobile", has a spacious central hall  with lofty ceiling, flanked left and right by four rooms, and then two smaller ones at each end.

A singular stone spiral staircase winds up the left side of the building to the second floor, with the same layout as the "piano nobile", and which features sleeping and living quarters.

In his memoirs Domenico Del Giudice tells of the fresco painted by the Milanese painter Visconti in 1766 in the great hall of this villa. Unfortunately frescoes, stuccos and much else were distroyed during the First World War. Promptly restored to its antique splendour afterwards, H.R.H. Duke Amedeo of Savoia Aosta stayed with his staff during Army manoeuvres in 1938.

Villa Paccagnella still stands preserved in its original setting, with its period furnishings and the age-old park, its façade framed by two imposing umbrella pines. It is the residence of the last descendant of the family that gave it its name.
