VillaBellagio

The interior reveals del Valle’s masterful orchestration of space and light. A sweeping double staircase rises through the entrance hall, creating a sense of ceremonial progression reminiscent of 18th-century palazzos. Yet unlike its historical predecessors, Villa Bellagio embraces the Mediterranean environment through vast expanses of glass that dissolve the boundary between interior and exterior. The grand salon exemplifies this philosophy. Twin limestone fireplaces anchor the space while sliding glass walls open completely to a sprawling terrace where a 22 metres pool appears to merge with the sea beyond. The optical effect is precisely calculated—the horizon line of the pool aligns perfectly with the Mediterranean when viewed from the main seating area. The opulent dining hall with seating for twenty-two features hand-knotted silk carpets, custom-designed furnishings, and a remarkable chandelier of hand-blown Murano glass, creating a space worthy of the most significant gatherings.

Throughout the residence, hallways function not merely as passages but as galleries, their generous proportions allowing for the display of significant artworks. The twelve bedroom suites each possess distinct identities while maintaining a cohesive design language. Four main-floor suites draw inspiration from luxury fashion houses Versace and Cavalli, featuring bespoke furnishings and fabrics created exclusively for the property. The comprehensive illumination scheme centres around bespoke chandeliers created exclusively for Villa Bellagio.

The lower level of Villa Bellagio reveals the true scope of del Valle’s vision. Rather than a mere basement, this expansive floor houses amenities equal to those found in the world’s finest resorts. A comprehensive spa retreat features an indoor heated pool lined with mosaic tiles, a traditional Hammam, and a Finnish sauna. The entertainment facilities are equally impressive. A twenty-two-seat cinema. The sound isolation, projection technology, and seating were all specified to professional standards. Additional leisure amenities include a professional double bowling alley, a billiards lounge with a fully-stocked bar, and a dedicated hairdressing and manicure salon

For automobile enthusiasts, the showroom garage accommodates twelve vehicles in museum-quality surroundings, while a second underground facility houses an additional thirty cars. Despite its classical aesthetic, Villa Bellagio incorporates sophisticated technology throughout. A bespoke system with touchscreens controls lighting, climate, entertainment, and security systems. The technology enhances the experience without calling attention to itself, making every interaction intuitive and every adjustment immediate.
