A $30 Million Naples Villa Brings Old-World Grandeur to Floridas Gulf Coast

This residence in Naples, Florida, will have you feeling more like you’re in Naples, Italy, thanks to materials sourced from around the world that give it an extravagant, over-the-top aesthetic redolent of old-world Europe. Built in 2005, the 14,000-square-foot mansion sits on almost an acre in the tony Gulf Coast city’s Port Royal neighborhood.

The craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident from the moment you step through the private gates and up to the imposing Honduran mahogany doors, flanked by travertine columns. The grand double-height foyer offers a taste of what is beyond, with mosaic-tile floors and a gold-leaf ceiling inset with a fresco reminiscent of the Sistine Chapel.

Formal entertaining spaces, including the living and dining rooms, feature custom Murano glass chandeliers and intricately carved fireplaces. The plush home theater is finished in blue velvet, while the speakeasy bar echoes the rich wood paneling of the library and has ample wine storage. Fifty handcrafted marble columns are found throughout the interiors.

The primary suite, one of five bedrooms, is fit for royalty, with intricate Venetian murals lining the walls, while the bathroom’s shower and soaking tub are crafted entirely of marble. Mirrored closets wrap around the ample dressing room, and there’s a private outdoor area.

Verdant tropical landscaping surrounds the villa, with palm trees rising high above it. At the center of the backyard is a mosaic-tiled pool, bookended by two stately lion fountains. There’s also a covered patio with a fireplace-warmed lounge. The property also includes a more understated guesthouse. The minimally designed space has its own kitchen, dining room, and living room, plus a couple of bedrooms.

Homeowners are also eligible for membership at the Port Royal Club, which has multiple dining venues, a beachfront pool, and more. The Naples estate is on the market for $30 million with Ashley Baird and Steven Fenttiman with the Dawn McKenna Group at Coldwell Banker Realty.
