Alpa, is the staircase in the picture like the one you saw? (It's beautiful!)
 
Please correct my mistakes.


As you open the door of the villa, you encounter a spacious living room with a lofty and extensively decorated ceiling. Two chandeliers hang from the ceiling in the main hall giving the place a stylish and sophisticated view. There're a few classic paintings on the walls whose creators are among the most dexterous and talented artists of the twentieth century. The enormous and spotless windows have fine views of a splendid natural scenery. A majestic mirror which contains a gold frame with an intricate and contemporary design stands in the corner. In the center of the room a wide staircase made of polished wood leads to the upper-ground chambers.

Pretty good.
 
"There're" is not a real contraction in my opinion, because it is not easier to say than "there are". (Maybe harder.)
 
Please forgive me for using inversion again: "On the walls are a few classic paintings, whose creators are among the most distinguished artists of the twentieth century."

All "there is" and "there are" have been removed from the description.
 
How about:

The walls are adorned with wonderful artwork.
 
A majestic mirror which contains a gold frame with an intricate and contemporary design stands in the corner.
Inversion again: "In a corner stands a majestic mirror in a gold frame with an intricate, contemporary design."
 
... a wide staircase made of polished wood leads to the [STRIKE]upper-[/STRIKE][STRIKE]ground[/STRIKE][STRIKE] chambers[/STRIKE] upstairs rooms.

The crystal clear picture windows command magnificent views of natural scenery.
