An Intermingling of History and Luxury in Italy
By ROXANA POPESCU
POSITANO, ITALY - The Mediterranean cliff side town of Positano has long called to artists and writers. John Steinbeck, Andy Warhol and Coco Chanel all spent time here, enjoying its beautiful sunsets and lazy afternoons.
Higher still, in the mountains above the town, is the Palazzo Santa Croce. The house, built between 1700 and 1716 as a bishop's residence, has been host to its own series of celebrity visitors, including Picasso, the Italian novelist Dino Buzzati and, more recently, the Hollywood actors Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel.
The stately property, recently restored with a focus on authenticity, is on the market with an asking price of €8.5 million, or $11.2 million.
Trekking up to this four-bedroom, three-terrace villa, which is painted Pompeii red and overlooks the Bay of Naples, takes considerable commitment. Step 1: Arrive in Positano by car, boat or bus. Step 2: Take a taxi or a local bus up the hill and get off at the bar. Step 3: Walk up dozens of steps, wondering where they will ever end.
But the moment visitors set foot inside the palazzo, they forget that effort, said Raphael T. Harris Jr., owner of World Real Estate Immobiliare, an agency in Messina, Italy, representing the current owners in the sale. (There is vehicle access on a small side road, but there is still a short walk to the house.)
Mr. Harris noted that the luxury market along the Amalfi Coast has been stable in recent years, partly because of the region's time-tested appeal and the enduring value of properties like this one.
The 557-square-meter, or 6,000-square-foot, house has two master bedroom suites, both with coffered ceilings, on the main level; two additional bedrooms upstairs, and a rustic, roomy kitchen with a pair of pizza and bread ovens. The furnishings are included in the sale.
There also are three large terraces, totaling 325 square meters, as well as an indoor swimming pool, a steam room and a Jacuzzi.
Several details recall the house's origin as a bishop's home, including the small wall altar in one of the master bedrooms.
The house's renovation was as grueling as it was exhilarating, said Giacomo Cinque, a fashion designer here who is a co-owner. It took four years, he said in an e-mail, to work on everything from the basement floors to the ceiling frescoes, using seven mules to haul building materials up the steep hillside.
"The hardest part of the restoration was the phase in which we restored all the paintings from the 18th century that were present in the villa, paintings on the ceiling, where skilled artisans worked for years to uncover them," he said.
Along with the restoration, the owners decorated parts of the house, including the indoor pool, with antique tiles made in the Pompeii area.
The pool "is where one can relive the days of beauty and luxury of ancient Rome, when the rich summered in Pompeii," Mr. Cinque said. "It wasn't hard to make the home luxurious by today's standards. All that was necessary was to follow its architectonic roots."
Over all, the designer said, he felt the result was well worth the effort: "You can relive history here, with all the advantages of modern life. It's like living two lives at once."
Malibu Real Estate continues to grow in 2012 and listings for Malibu Realtor Chris Cortazzo have increased. In the last issue of Homes & Land, he ran roughly 34 pages of ads. According to Malibu Builder Mark Drury, the number of luxury contructions in the past year seemed to have dipped from 3 years ago.
Famous Wells Fargo Party House sells in Malibu Colony for $14.95 Million
23360 Malibu Colony Fashion designer Nancy Heller built this early 90's era 4-bedroom, 4-bath mansion in the exclusive gated community Malibu Colony. Mr. Malibu generated a $400 Million Memorandum of Understanding with Lockheed Martin because of Nancy Heller's son Jonas' represented ICM agency interest to invest in advanced media technology. The system would have delivered interactive TV to the home if fiber optic were widespread. Mr. Malibu and Jonas would discuss the opportunity while sitting on the front beach deck of this home with fashion model Barbara Baldieri.
Nancy sold the home and its most recent owners were Lawrence and Linda Elins, victims of Bernie Madoff's Ponzi scheme, who lost the home to foreclosure. To add insult to injury, Wells Fargo bank senior VP Cheronda Guyton, who worked with foreclosed properties, was then caught hosting lavish parties there in September of 2009. Guyton's jig was up when neighbors noticed her taking long weekends at the home and decided to investigate.
