Glamour and excess in the former Versace Mansion

You know that sometimes we like to give you spectacular accommodations, today it is one of those days, with the 5-star hotel Villa Casa Casuarina, also known as the former mansion of the legendary designer Gianni Versace.

During the designer's lifetime, it was the scene of parties attended by celebrities such as Lady Di or Elton John; and today, it is a luxury hotel in Miami that housed celebrities such as the Kardashians, Beyoncé, Paris Hilton, and many more.

Of course, luxury is one of its main features with its famous pool with gold tiles, suites with frescoes on the walls, Italian marble bathrooms; we can go on and on, but why not see for yourselves? So get ready to transport yourself to Miami Beach, even if it's from the sofa.

Let's begin with a little background history: they say that during a visit to his sister Donatella, Gianni saw this building from the 30s, fell in love with the sculpture of Aphrodite that presides over the entrance, and bought it. After a renovation of more than 30 million dollars, he lived there until his murder in 1997, which took place at the Villa's gates.

It was put up for sale after the incident, but finally, it was transformed into the luxury hotel it is today, respecting the essence of the designer and the Versace house.

The Hotel is composed of several suites, all different from each other, with a breathtaking Baroque design. Some even have fresco paintings, cared for and restored by an artist since its inauguration.

Nor should we forget its swimming pool. Photographed ad nauseam, it has appeared in films, series, video clips; they call it the pool of a thousand tiles. The tiles were imported from Italy, and most of them, are made of 24-carat gold.

As for the restaurant, its chef specializes in Italian cuisine and is open to everyone. You can enjoy a meal there even if you are not staying at the Hotel. The Hotel also organizes events, such as its famous New Year's Eve party.

With all this, I'm sure you've got the urge to book or see how much it would cost you, right? It's certainly not a bargain stay. Indeed, the price is a bit high, considering what we have told you. Maybe you can indulge yourself, who knows?
