HOUSE TOUR | Inside Paola Fendi’s Luxurious New York Home

Paola Saracino Fendi brings us inside her chic apartment in the Upper East Side.
For more extraordinary home tours, visit our website: homeworthy.com/
After spending a decade in London, Paola Saracino Fendi and her husband returned to her roots in New York City. Paola couldn’t believe it when she realized the classic-6 apartment of her dreams was just one block away from her childhood home on the Upper East Side; a full-circle moment for her and her growing family.
Paola's effortless sense of style comes from a rich generational history in fashion and design. Her great grandmother, Adele Fendi, founded the Fendi company in Rome in 1925. While the company remained family-operated for decades, Paola works as an art consultant, and her home is a visual feast where contemporary artwork is displayed salon-style alongside delicate Murano glass decor and stunning floral fabrics. The space beautifully marries bold graphic colors with antiquated touches, reflecting Paola's unique style inspired by the women in her life. Enjoy!

For someone who comes from such a magnificent family, Paola is so down to earth, approachable, and ordinary (in the best possible way). The apartment really represents her - old with new, elegant and comfortable, history with a hint of contemporary.

[@camuchanomellini903]

She does not look ordinary at all she looks extremely wealthy!

[@jkoch1948]

Gorgeous! I like that you actually prefer the separate spaces and NOT the open kitchen/dinning.

[@inaleyen2737]

I agree completely.

[@ah8064]

Precisely! Being able to see from the front to the back of the house is so not appealing.

[@emu9520]

Me too…I hate open plan

[@dayrich]

me too!

[@annjohnson8437]

Me too! ❤

[@myrradine]

The beauty of this episode is the genuine authenticity of the homeowner. Paola Fendi is down to earth, not pretentious at all, and her home showcases her passions and family history. I love the glasses her aunt made for her - so beautiful! This house is a treasure box of gems yet understated at the same time. One of my all time favorite house tours. Thank you.

[@LiviaScott]

Love Paola's home. Regarding the ad inviting people to pay for "early access" to videos...um, most of us aren't rich. That's why we like looking at nice homes! Lol are you guys serious? If you want people to pay, you're gonna have to offer more than that. Also I've been meaning to leave this comment for so long and I guess today is the day: "We believe every home has a story" is the silliest tagline ever. Every home DOES have a story! Like duh? That's like saying "We believe every home should be a home." hahaha anyway thanks for the good videos though

[@michelleb.9637]

This home absolutely stunning! It’s completely stylish without coming off cold or contrived. She’s has a very warm presence about her and strikes me as a person who really cares about the people around her.

[@xpsxps1339]

This is another house/home that confirms my years old experience - the most beautiful homes belong to fine artists, designers, and overall artistically focused people. I love the strong eclectic influence from their London era and from the roots of the Fendi family. Truly lovely home! And last but not least, Paola is a very pleasant hostess.

[@forestfields]

What a charming and unpretentious owner. The apartment is beautifully done and so full of interesting pieces. I really enjoyed hearing how they curated their apartment.

[@brightgreenleaves]

Yes!! Glad I wasn’t the only one who noticed. Love her, she’s so down to earth and lovely

[@sararichardson737]

Yes. She is charming and sweet.

[@justlikekris]

One of the BEST home tours I've seen. The home is amazing, but look at her shoes!

[@manita2653]

Regarding your remark, “ but look at her shoes!” …after All …she IS a FENDI!

[@user-iz5fu2lk9p]

I have the same fendi booties, fantastic and classic all the way…..❤😊

[@user-iz5fu2lk9p]

❤her classic 6 apartment….love the colors and oh gosh the champagne colored flutes, Murano‼️💕😎👍

[@izzy6455]

I'm fron England and yes, she has really got the English style. It looks like a London flat, to me. She comes across as a very lovely and genuine person and her home is the same. I want to be a house guest, it is so welcoming and personal.

[@andreeamarkethinkpr4596]

Eclectic, full of life, a memory maker place...this is a real home! Love it!

[@afinet1364]

Being from Europe, I find the old world charm in this apartment so comforting... it is REALLY beautiful!

[@lisagorman2480]

Oh, I just love how the owner incorporates family heirlooms into her home! So, ok, her family is Fendi, but still! She is lovely, unpretentious and so in love with her home. Great episode!

[@TGSHomeandGarden]

this is what I love to see from your channel.

[@Cruise_227]

When she said her last name I thought what a funny coincidence. Then she spoke about her family history. WOW. What a down to earth person (given her background) and such a beautiful apartment. What a dream to be able to use those bold bright colors and crisp lines!

[@camuchanomellini903]

of course when you come from that kind of money your apartment will look as beautiful 🌟

[@ObservingtheMatrix]

Italians do approachbale beautiful interiors the best IMO. They're at once just as curated and special as you imagine a French apartment to be whilst also feeling homey and joyful. Such a beautiful home!

[@debra7241]

Such a confident, beautiful soul she is. A beautiful home!

[@buickinvicta288]

She's Fendi, would you expect less?

[@ClutchingPearlz]

She’s so down to earth with a lovely personality and beautiful home.

[@Blessedbeyondmeasur88]

I just need to create a file specifically for favorite Homeworthy videos!!! This is a beautifully decorated apartment and Paola is so relaxed in her presentation while very relatable despite her storied name.

[@kimberlythomas4373]

Her style is me…. If only I had the same friends and money😉😉😉

[@iamspartacus7756]

Beautifully styled apartment joining some traditional and joining it with more modern Italian designs. I’m so glad to see younger generation using items that had belonged to their family members such as a grandmother or aunt. Interesting story behind the wallpaper in the dining room that I did not know existed. Really enjoyed viewing her artworks and how it works in each room.

[@Cheekingmymeds]

I have never before stared so intently at my screen while viewing a home tour... stunning! 🤩🤩

[@sebeckley]

That kitchen is gorgeous. The tile is incredible. The shape is a tragedy, but the color, tile, and finishes are one of favorites of all time. Elegant but whimsical. That's hard to pull off.

[@Butterscotch-be7es]

I love homeworthy and one of the reasons why is they show creative people who really have fabulous design skills and use it in their home. The majority I do not know but sometimes do look them up afterwards. Please, no celebrities and I am not interested in nepo kids living a multimillionaire lifestyle. I gave up Vogue magazine when I counted how many ads and articles had nepo children in them.

[@susannegiesen2114]

This lady is a lovely sensitive person with a respectful personality and a good sense of humor. Lovely tour!!!

[@marthawolfsen5809]

I'm just drooling over the murano glass glassware. They're beautiful and seem completely unique!

[@MsLotusBlooms]

That mirror is exquisite!

[@MaryMamaAshlee]

What a gorgeous space. Traditional and modern elements living harmoniously.

[@pamelahudson824]

I love the mirrored entry and hallway. Enjoyed the tour.😊

[@pamelamarie4930]

my fav as well

[@janetcorey5102]

Most of her home is filled with gifts from her family and friends, how lovely

[@boysullen3632]

Love that green sofa!

[@Nemma7hemi]

Exquisite…I love the calm demeanor of fine living.

[@asweetiepiebtw2032]

Lovely! And she is too! So Lovely. So thoughtful and kind. xo

[@annjohnson8437]

This apartment is stunning without feeling stuffy. I love that much of the decor has an interesting back story or a family connection. Thank you for posting this enjoyable tour! ❤

[@tallyho101]

She’s so likeable and lovely.

[@susanshattuck4911]

LOVE her apartment. Beautiful and classy.

[@michaelaNkristin]

I clicked because I saw so much green 💚💚💚

[@merrywalsh2809]

So sophisticated in the curated sense. She must be very good at her job as an art consultant. Not a nepo baby!

[@ryannecomea-callin2560]

❤ Paola Fendi shares so warmly, this feels welcoming and accessible. The love of handmade items and craftsmanship elevates everything, her spirit and enjoyment of her surroundings animates and warms up her beautiful home. Thank you for sharing xox

[@soundrasimpson7885]

A beautiful home, with beautiful pieces, curated by beautiful family and friends creating beautiful memories that will last forever. Who could ask for more. With my niece getting married, Ill be sure to give her a gift that she will treasure forever. Thanks for sharing your timeless home. Just lovely. ❤

[@kateforsyth1133]

This was really intriguing and elevated. I was so engaged with the owner and beautiful home.

[@janinedevilliers510]

Stunning Paola. I love Paola, her taste and her style. This is one of my favorite Homeworthy videos. It might be because I am Italian, my mother was born in Italy. My Italian grandparents raised me too and I have an inherent love of art, collections of art and the beauty of style and design. The Fendi family are amazing. Beautiful art can be found in many countries which I deeply appreciate in my soul. I get that sense about Paola and it shows in her and her home, together with her husband.

[@buickinvicta288]

She's very wealthy.

[@charlesrodriguesable]

I use to say that beauty comes from Italy ! Everything beautiful come from there ! And since the medieval times ! Look at the château de Versailles and other castles in Europe… a lot of works were made by Italian artists.

[@ninamelsted8702]

Thank you Paola for giving a tour of cultural elegance that is your abode. What a treat and a departure from grounded aesthetics. It felt as if I was travelling through an artistic exhibition of varied mediums. And yet, also experiencing a feeling of warmth and comfort. Bellissimo!

[@FSD23384]

The moldings in this apartment are just beautiful. The finish the painters used brought out all the lovely details. I remember the squirrel child's breakfast set that was sold at Tiffany's back in the 80's.

[@courtneyrogers3608]

Absolutely love her style and choices! Fantastic apartment.

[@Loupadron2010]

What a warm, amicable, lovely young woman you are Ms. Paola. In all the years of being exposed to high fashion in New York City. I never knew that your maternal grandmother is spanish from Spain so that means that Fendi is a mixture of Iberian/Italian mixture. A great modern yet lovely apartment in the upper east side of Manhattan. There is so much art yet it is all a delight to see and enjoy. Thank you for sharing it with all of us "KZbinrs" around the world. Note: Fendi is not uniquely owned any longer by the Fendi family it is now in the hands and management of LVMH? Wow. Note: My mom has a Fendi bag given to her by my brother many many years ago and the top strap wore out. In the past I took her to Fendi at Short Hills, New Jersey and the woman although she was polite as should be, she stated that perhaps it would be best to take the bag/pocketbook to a place where they can repair it. We never got around to it for many reasons. Now tonight I am home in our humble abode in New Jersey and I am viewing videos from Homeworthy and I see your video and I started to explain it to my mom. Can you suggest a reputable place in Manhattan that would repair fine bags for women and other items? Thank you for the video and sharing it. All the best.

[@cliffordl.4022]

What a sweet and beautiful woman. She has a blessed family and life, and impeccable taste.

[@tscsa900]

Loved this and how natural she was ❤️

[@peggymurphy6747]

This was so enjoyable to watch. So many special items and artworks. Gorgeous. A very special woman and a very special home.

[@Chris_UES]

Im also fortunate to be on the UES with a working fireplace… nothing beats a real fire when it’s cold and snowy in the city.

[@debbiepochy6751]

Wow, I loved everything about this. Paola is so lovely and feels like someone you sit down and have a cup of tea with, very approachable. I love traditional decor, the wainscotting, the beautiful built in cabinets, the gorgeous use of color and the wallpaper, especially in the dining room. I do not like open concept or monotone colors. This was just charming!

[@gladysperez8156]

Oh, La,La! Anything Fendi is luxurious. I like the windows treatment, and it’s good to give honored to grandma ( Mrs. Fendi). Homeworthy!

[@janicerivera5570]

Exquisite style. Loving the eclectic mix of quality and unique pieces. Chic, indeed. In my top 5 of favorite Homeworthy tours.

[@ladyoftheworld]

Beautiful home but most importantly, a natural , down to earth woman with a real face and practical nails.

[@dosanfran172]

She is so sweet and natural ❤ love her and her lovely colorful home⭐️✨

[@kate-studio-huske]

What a beautiful, personal, joyful space. I hope you light the fire soon, there's nothing better ☺️

[@sososanchez3512]

All that!!!!

[@stephaniebabcock852]

Wow. What an intelligent, articulate, and fantastically talented young lady. Your home is magnificent. Thank you for sharing.

[@helend6774]

Most times, these apartments that are highlighted leave me cold. But this one is absolutely gorgeous.

[@kenitra4558]

She is quite lovely and so is her space.

[@angiejones7401]

I hope my children want my collections for their homes one day.

[@Nickysmom]

Love the couch in different shades of green! Lovely apartment

[@therawarren2422]

I'm only half way through and she is just so charming and down to earth, I'm catching myself smiling while she tells her stories. Their home is truly special, unique, warm and glam all in one. Probably top 3 homes I have ever seen.

[@kaktusdesiberie7196]

Don’t get me wrong, young Italian women are beautiful, but older Italian women are IT!! So fly!! Beautiful home, very interesting, creative, chic and inspiring. Lovely young woman! 🥰

[@lorib1600]

Oooh!! New intro music! I like it!

[@susanperry5674]

I think the dining room chairs are so beautiful ❤!

[@jamesdellaneve9005]

I love that room. It feels like being in the country in upstate NY. I am not an apartment or city person. I’d live in that room.

[@mrscindymargaret2736]

Yes. This is me 😂 but rich in the material sense. ADORE her style ❤ Beautiful inside and out. Humble, gracious and funny without even trying. And her SKIN! My goodness - GOALS🎉

[@blakehahn-atlantaga8510]

What an amazing lovely woman! Her home is so warm and inviting. I would love to see an interview with her parents. Paola is amazing! Thank you.

[@debbieharman1160]

I loved that a whole hour proper personnel tour, lovely home

[@claudiamann7111]

What an amazing home. I will definitely have to watch this again. So wonderful that the family is so close. Thank you so much for sharing.

Thank you very much Paola Saracino Fendi , to bring us inside your beautiful home , and Homeworth to this amazing video .❤❤❤❤❤

[@ObservingtheMatrix]

I saw that Frank Ocean on the wall when they were showing that room before she even mentioned it and thought "how cool for her to see this as art enough to place next to such high art pieces" but she not only has it in her gallery mix but used it for color inspiration! I love her already!

[@irenetovar7756]

I love your apartment, it's gorgeous. The fact that you incorporate your family's antiques, your friends gifts, is beautiful.

[@Fiona-xv3st]

It’s a case of home is where the heart is…. I loved this episode. Took me forever to watch as I kept googling the names she mentioned to know more.

[@EveD123]

Just looking at the preview and I'm super satisfied already. This is indeed going to be an amazing video to watch and enjoy.

[@biggothepiggo]

Wow, that was so cool! What a genuinely unique, gorgeous, interesting, historical and incredibly stylish place. And how lovely is she?

[@odb5369]

Ahh, how to replicate this in suburbia! ❤

[@EllenZerucha-zb5ff]

I'm dying...so beautiful. I will watch repeatedly!!

[@liancho01]

I love her sense of interior design! Beautiful home! I agree with separating living and dining rooms❤

[@cristie2501]

I have those dogs too but mine are black and white! They were my nannas and I always thought they were so ugly as a kid. I love them now though. ps, light the fire!!! 😅

[@blancasanchez3536]

You can tell what a beautiful relationship you have with your family. I love the meaning behind the pieces of art you choose. You are a very authentic and warm person. Thank you for sharing your style. ~ Susanna from Indiana

[@fuensantavelarde8004]

wooooowwwww I loved every detail, every piece.

[@maddie33300]

Looking forward to the next vid! ❤️

[@kateforsyth1133]

Great call on the pink color.

[@waffelsmellgood]

I like the way she giggled that her husband wouldn’t let her have more plates. ❤❤I love plates too!! My husband also does the same thing. I feel like it’s not their decision of plate count. We need them to coordinate with everything else. How else would we make dinner beautiful??

[@tamib64]

What a charming home and wonderful owner!

[@waltonbone6038]

Really beautiful and classy

[@shirleyprescott1528]

I love your soft voice and your genuine style.! Your HOME is just lovely and everything is so special to you. You appreciate your family and their treasures. I have a Christmas squirrel pitcher that I would love to gift to you! I would want you to have it. I saw it in a vintage shop and thought it was so cute. Let me know ! I would not know how to go about sending it to you. Your son would love it too! It is not an expensive, but it is not cheesy either. lol Life should be fun!! Thank you for this video!

[@yolandasilverio1205]

Thank you for inviting me to your apartment. Quite lovely a place you have.
