Sale of Sophia Loren's historic Roman villa

Overview

The historic villa on the Appia Antica in Rome, formerly owned by Sophia Loren and Carlo Ponti, has returned to the luxury real estate market. Managed by Italy Sotheby’s International Realty, the property is being offered via private negotiation with an estimated price between 15 and 20 million euros.

Designed by architect Andrea Busiri Vici, the 700-square-meter residence is situated within an 11,000-square-meter private park. The estate features five bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a library, a winter garden, and three salons with fireplaces. It also includes converted former stables used for events.

A significant architectural feature is a dining room carved into an ancient Roman basalt quarry, which contains an original mosaic depicting Medusa. The villa has a history of hosting cinematic figures such as Federico Fellini, Kirk Douglas, and Anthony Quinn. Records indicate the estate was previously listed for sale in 2018 for 19 million euros.
