Oh, if these walls could talk, the stories they would tell! They would tell stories of a wealthy eccentric produce farmer w/exquisite taste who traveled the world with top designers to source the finest materials & finishes and hand select the most beautiful antique pieces of furniture to complement and complete this magnificent work of art, Villa De La Dolce Vita. It is a home from a bygone era where quality, craftsmanship & refined elegance were paramount & its design & architecture, timeless. It has hosted countless social events w/Old Hollywood celebrities, politicians & socialites from around the globe & it was nothing out of the ordinary to come home and find John Wayne sitting at the dining room table. Five generations of this deeply rooted Arizona family have called Villa De La Dolce Vita home since the 1940s and although formal & extravagant by its design and sheer size, it still retains that unique sense of casual elegance and exudes class, charm & good energy from the moment you enter the 200+ year old iron entry gates from Italy. Originally, this home started out its life on Bankers Hill in the late 1800s and was a bit more modest one could say. As the family expanded operations in Nogales, the decision was made to remodel & add a little square footage. World renowned San Francisco based architects, Charles Porter & Bob Steinwedell were commissioned for the job and worked alongside The Best Decorator in the United States according to Time Magazine, Michael Taylor,
