Villa Certosa, the luxurious Sardinian residence of Silvio Berlusconi evaluated 500 million euro, would be in sale. The Financial Times wrote it according to which the five children of the former prime minister passed away on June 12, 2023 they would have officially decided to put this iconic estate up for sale, entrusting the marketing to Dils, a Milanese real estate consultant. Although CEO Giuseppe Amitrano made no comment to the City newspaper, potential Emirati, Saudi, Indian and US buyers have been mentioned. Dils will contact interested parties directly, avoiding public advertising, and visits are expected to begin in February.
Villa Certosa for sale: why?
Silvio Berlusconi had purchased Villa Certosa at the end of the 80s, subjecting it to a complete renovation. The property spans 110 acres with 68 rooms, direct access to the Mediterranean Sea, several pools, tennis courts, gardens and an amphitheater. The villa in Porto Rotondo has hosted the likes of George W Bush, Tony Blair, Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero e Mirek Topolanek. The Russian president was also there several times Vladimir Putin.
The decision to sell this real estate jewel, largely under the management of the Idra company, would also appear to be motivated by the need to manage the Costs. The maintenance of all the villas in the portfolio proved to be too expensive, exceeding 20 million euros.
And the other villas?
However, some properties, such as Villa San Martino ad Arcore and the real estate complex of vimercate, instead seem destined to remain in the family. The Villa San Martino, where the ashes of Silvio Berlusconi and other family members rest, will remain a place of family gatherings and gatherings, following the wish of the late former prime minister. The Vimercate real estate complex will be maintained by the heirs to implement the original plan conceived by Silvio Berlusconi to relaunch the private part of Villa Sottocasa, purchased in 2020. As well as Villa Campari (to Marina) e Villa Macherio (to Barbara) will not be put up for sale.
