In 1921, Guccio Gucci founded his namesake brand in Florence. His son, Aldo Gucci—who was a longtime chairman of the company—relocated from Florence to Rome, and began building out this retreat in the late 1940s. In 2023, Gucci family heirs listed the Roman spread for €15 million (or about $16.098 million USD). The family, of course, are professionals at selling luxury goods, and real estate should be no exception. And so, the listing price has recently been altered to €13,900,000 (which is closer to $14.5 million USD).
The property is nestled in the hills of Rome, surrounded by nature but with views of the Altar of the Fatherland and the city below. There are two villas on the property: The circa-1951 “Family House” is where Aldo Gucci lived with his family. It totals eight bedrooms and nine bathrooms across 1,196 square-meters (or 3,923 square-feet). The second, 900-square-meter (or 2,952 square-foot) villa acts a guest house, and was built in the early 1960s for one of Aldo’s sons. It has six bedrooms and six bathrooms, but may need a bit of TLC. Both structures boast a mix of English-style architecture with touches of Tuscan accents. The enchanting Italian property also includes a swimming pool and pool house.
Listing agent Billy Nash shares, “Villa Gucci is not just a home; it’s a legacy. Its walls whisper stories of years of Gucci family gatherings, its private grounds exude timeless elegance that captivates the senses.”
For those interested in owning this rare compound now that it’s had a price adjustment, Billy Nash of The Keyes Company and Chiara Gennarelli of BH Forbes Global Properties hold the listing.
