  • Relations Berlusconi leaves more than 100 million euros in inheritance to his last partner, 33 years old

Some of Silvio Berlusconi

's former properties

for sale after his death, including the 'crown jewel':

Villa Certosa

. The sale of this luxurious villa in

Sardinia

is carried out by the Dils real estate agency, based in Milan. This is a sign that steps have been taken to materialize the distribution of the former premier's real estate assets at the request of his five heirs who, also faced with the exorbitant costs of the properties, have decided to "probe" the market or distribute the assets. .

Barbara Berlusconi is a candidate to acquire the Villa Macherio, in Brianza, which was the residence of her mother Veronica Lario. The property belongs to Immobiliare Idra, a subsidiary of

Fininvest

through the Dolcedrago holding company.

Instead, Marina Berlusconi should buy the villa of Lesa, on Lake Maggiore, known as Villa Campari, which belonged directly to

Berlusconi

. The sale of Villa Gernetto, on the other hand, has been entrusted to Sotheby's.

The most valuable property is Villa Certosa and, according to the latest rumors from the Financial Times, its sale has been entrusted to the Milanese company Dils. The figures that circulate indicate a price of about

500 million

, but being more realistic the negotiations should start from

280-300 million.

The magnate bought

Villa Certosa

in the 70s and it was subsequently completely rebuilt and expanded. During Berlusconi's time as Prime Minister, it was classified as an "alternative maximum security location for the security of the Prime Minister." Illustrious guests have passed through here, from Vladimir Putin to George W. Bush.

A technical report from January 2021 indicated a value of

259,373,950 euros

. An absolutely reliable document because it is signed by Francesco Magnano, the Cavaliere's trusted expert. Villa Certosa could hardly be divided among all the children, although it does not lack space:

68 rooms

, 181 square meters of garage and another 174 square meters of parking spaces.

Then - searching through the appraisal papers - 4 bungalows, a theater, the tower in front of the theater, the greenhouse, the gym, thalassotherapy and 297 square meters of medicinal garden. All this immersed in a park of 580,477 square meters.

The most expensive of the family villas

The Porto Rotondo

palace

is among

the most expensive villas

of all, so the market price may even be higher than the appraisal price. In 2009 there was talk of an offer from the Arab Emirates of 450 million dollars, the following year, according to the Spanish press, it was almost done with an Iberian businessman for 400 million, and then, in 2015, it would have been Cavaliere himself who would have showed the beauty of the residence to the son of the king of Arabia: the request was, apparently, 500 million.
