Sophia Loren – Rome, $22 Million

When it comes to pure, elegant taste, only a handful of celebrities come to mind. One of them is most definitely Sophia Loren. The actress, who first rose to fame in the 1960s, was often praised for her beauty and exquisite taste in fashion. That taste also seems to extend to Sophia’s choice in real estate. The silver screen siren is known to have lived in this stunning $22 million home in Rome back when she was still raising her children with the late Carlo Ponti Sr.

The home is a beautiful Roman villa which features fifty rooms, five of which are bedrooms, magnificent gardens, and a heated swimming pool just to name a few. The facade of the home is painted a vibrant terracotta red decorated with cascading plants and finished with some brick roofing to tie everything together. Sophia Loren shows exquisite taste in designing the interior of her home but that design language follows through with the exterior as well.
