Though the millionaire property developer’s Instagram account typically sticks to posting glossy architectural shots, Edo recently broke regularly scheduled programming to share a glimpse of a family holiday to North Wales.
‘Stunning North Wales. Beautiful memories,’ Edo wrote in the caption to a carousel of images, which showed the rugged coastline cast in bright sunlight, dolphins swimming in the glittering sea, seals basking on a rock, a small tug boat and a group of children playing on a stone pier, one of them posing for the camera. The family are thought to have stayed in the coastal town of Porthmadog, but these new snaps show them enjoying time at the nearby Criccieth Beach in Gwynedd.
In March, Edo posted a series of idyllic photographs from a gorgeous home in Porthmadog, including a view of the Moel y Gest mountain and a sneak peek at the antique furniture and artwork of the 14th century manor house. Edo’s mother, Nikki Williams-Ellis, and his stepfather, David Williams-Ellis, could also be seen enjoying a cup of tea on the terrace with two labradors, as they joined the family on what Edo called ‘an escape to magical North Wales’.
It’s perhaps unsurprising that the couple joined Edo and Beatrice for their holiday, given that they provided the accommodation. Nikki, David and David’s son, Jack (from his previous marriage to interior designer, Serena Williams-Ellis) own Wern Holiday Cottages, a collection of seven luxury properties on the private Wern estate, located between Porthmadog and Criccieth. The family stayed at the largest property, Carregfelen, which is able to accommodate 11 guests and boasts traditional interiors, incredible views and an expansive rose garden.
Princess Beatrice and Edo, the son of Count Alessandro Mapelli Mozzi, a former British Olympian and Italian nobleman, married in July 2020, having been engaged since September 2019. They were long-time family friends but started dating in October 2018. They have since welcomed two daughters, Sienna and Athena and Wolfie, Edo’s son from his first marriage.
