Dolce and Gabbana's villa on the
island of Stromboli is on sale. The villa has been the
designers' summer retreat since the 1990s, the home where they
have entertained international stars and organized big parties.
The property owned by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana is
located on one of the most beautiful and wildest of the seven
Aeolian islands. It became famous in the 1950s when Roberto
Rossellini filmed there 'Stromboli terra di Dio' (Stromboli land
of God) with Ingrid Bergman. The island can be reached by boat
or helicopter and has a unique position in terms of privacy and
due to its unique and breathtaking view of the sea, the little
island of Stronbolicchio and the volcano, called by locals Iddu
(Him) and its 'sciara di fuoco', a river of fire, lapilli and
lava.
The property - whose sale is managed exclusively by Lionard
Luxury Real Estate
(https://www.lionard.it/esclusiva-villa-dolce-e-gabbana-in-vendi
ta-sul-mare-di-stromboli.html ) - comprises three typical
Aeolian buildings set along the jagged coast of volcanic rocks.
The home is surrounded by terraces and gardens, with typical
Mediterranean plants, contributing to create a direct contact
with nature. Overall, the property stretches over more than 500
square meters, including 235 indoors with seven suites, each one
of a different color, and 300 of gardens.
The architectural rigor of the villa and the white of its
walls play for contrast with a landscape of volcanic stone and
the deep blue sea. The villa has been entirely renovated and
furnished with the trademark D&G style: unique pieces and
fabrics of the fashion house combined with local hand-made
pieces, colorful hand-painted majolica tiles and lace curtains
for a unique aesthetic.
The two designers are known for their unconditional love for
Sicily, where Domenico Dolce was born, which has been a
constant, key source of inspiration for their collections, and
for the Aeolian islands.
Stromboli is also the extraordinary setting where in 2014
Oscar winner Paolo Sorrentino, together with Paolo Virzì, filmed
a commercial with Colin Farrell for a perfume of the D&G fashion
house.
