Villa Le Fontanelle: Home to Celebrities

Present owner of this magnificient Villa is  Russian millionaire Arkady Novikov who bought it in 2008 for a price of 33 million Euros. 
It was previously owned by Gianni Versace from 1977 until his murder in 1997. Before his death, celebrities such as Sir Elton John, Sting and Madonna were guests in the building.
Since the death of Versace, only American singer Jennifer Lopez and her husband Chris Judd spent their honeymoon there. It is not open to the public but can be viewed from the lake.
The Villa itself "Le Fontanelle" was originally built in 1776 and owned prior to Versace by the Cambiaghi family. Versace purchased this magnificent villa in 1977 and completely refurbished the property ay huge expense. He restored the elegant neo-classic style true to their original design and Versace supervised every element of the restoration and furnished the villa personally.
Question is: How much money are people ready to spend for this luxury Villa? Yes they are more than ready! Yes, Villa has its own history to tell... , but 33m€?!? Wooow!

Be prepared to hire a car. The area was built long before cars existed and driving and parking are a challenge. Our hotel had parking, chargeable. The ferry to Bellagio is a 2 hour trip each way and seating was full when we boarded.
