The ideal AoS holiday home?
Anyone got a spare €20 million or so down the back of the couch? If so there's a little property in Sicily that you might be interested in. Nelson's Villa La Falconara in Taormina is for sale and although there's no price on the sellers website, I've read elsewhere that the price is between €15 and €20 million. Actually it's been on the market for several years, but I only came across it recently. Estate agent's blurb as follows:
Villa La Falconara also known as Villa Nelson is for sale and stands on a hill overlooking the beautiful bay of Naxos. The Historic Estate was commissioned built in 1780 by Admiral Horatio Nelson. This luxury Sicilian villa is just 500 meters from the historic center of Taormina. The villa is built on three floors, of approximately 11,000 square feet total and is situated in a beautiful park with an area of roughly 10 acres stretching along its entire length of the sea below. Adjacent to the primary residence and park is another structure comprising a garage and home with 3 beds and baths sitting on another 2 acres of gardens that has been zoned for a small luxury hotel. In more recent times, a swimming pool has been constructed adjacent to the house. The property is being sold completely furnished.
There's lots of pictures on the estate agent's website here, but they've also very helpfully posted this film of the property. What do you think?
