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.

Great location and accommodation. The host communicated well. Just be aware that there is no elevator so luggage must be carried up a couple flights of stairs. Still worth it.

Comfortable clean practical room. Easy to get anywhere in Lugano. The laundry room requires a bit of negotiation with others during busy times. Bring your own laundry soap and basket - for travelers this means a trip to the grocery store.

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.
