The heirs of former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi have agreed to sell Villa Certosa, his famous luxury estate in Sardinia, to a company linked to Qatar’s ruling family. According to local media reports, the property was sold for around €350 million, with the buyer identified as Constellation Hotels Holding Ltd, associated with Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani.

Villa Certosa was one of Berlusconi’s most recognizable residences and became a symbol of his lavish lifestyle. Located on Sardinia’s exclusive Costa Smeralda coastline, the sprawling estate spans roughly 120 hectares and features numerous villas, swimming pools, an amphitheatre, extensive gardens, a mock volcano and a private underground grotto designed for discreet boat access.

The property frequently hosted world leaders, celebrities and business figures during Berlusconi’s time in office and beyond. The sale is part of a broader effort by Berlusconi’s five children to streamline and manage the vast assets inherited following his death in 2023, ending an era for one of Italy’s most famous private estates.
