Dolce and Gabbana have owned the lavish villa – which comprises three traditional white-washed Aeolian homes, converted into a single 235-square-metre dwelling – since the 1990s.
The villa “has been renovated according to the style and taste of the two designers, who have furnished it with the same love and passion that they put into designing their clothes”, according to the listing by Lionel Luxury Real Estate.
Built on volcanic rocks in a “wild and beautiful” area of the island and surrounded by a further 300 square metres of “terraces and lush gardens”, the villa has seven suites, each decorated in a different colour.
It has been furnished in the trademark D&G style, with “unique pieces and fabrics from the fashion house combined with local hand-made pieces, colourful hand-painted majolica tiles and lace curtains creating a unique aesthetic”.
The property’s price is not advertised.
The listing earlier showed a figure of €6,500,009, but was quickly changed to trattativa riservata (reserved negotiation).
Lionel Luxury Real Estate told Italian daily La Repubblica that the figure shown earlier was not the real price and claimed it had been a “server error”.
The eminent Italian designers are known for their love of Sicily, where Dolce was born.
It is unknown why the duo is selling the opulent hideaway.
