The historic Italian villa built and owned by the Gucci family is now asking $14.2 million for sale

A piece of Gucci history is up for grabs in Rome, and it comes with a price tag of $14.2 million.

This 4,000 square meter property was built in the 1950s by Aldo Gucci, son of the luxury fashion house’s founder.

Located just minutes from Rome’s city center, the sprawling property sits on 5 hectares of landscaped gardens blending Italian and English architectural styles, according to Luxury Property News.

A private gated entrance leads to the villa via a winding road lined with tall trees, providing complete seclusion.

Inside, the first floor features a spacious dining room, a recreation room and a chef’s kitchen, complete with an ornate fireplace.

Upstairs, the main house boasts eight bedrooms – seven en-suite – plus two additional master bathrooms.

At the pinnacle of the property, on the third floor lies a penthouse apartment with a roof terrace offering magnificent views of the Altar of the Fatherland, a major landmark of Rome near the Colosseum and the surrounding cityscape.

In addition to the main villa, the estate includes a second residence ready for a complete redesign. Architects and interior design experts are already on standby for the buyer’s vision, the listing notes.

Billy Nash of The Keyes Company and Chiara Gennarelli of BH Forbes Global are representing the Gucci family.

Nash emphasized the property’s unique place in fashion history, telling Luxury Property News, “Villa Gucci is not just a house; it is a legacy. Its walls whisper stories of years of Gucci family gatherings, its private grounds exude timeless elegance that captivates the senses.”

Nash added: “For the international buyer, Villa Gucci represents not just a property, but a unique opportunity to own a piece of heritage in one of the world’s most fascinating cities.”
