LUCKY enough to have €70 million burning a hole in your pocket?
If so, you could do considerably worse than splashing it out on Spain’s most expensive home.
Perched in Marbella’s exclusive Sierra Blanca urbanisation on the Golden Mile, Villa Bellagio is more akin to a private palace than a house – complete with 13 suites, a 22-metre infinity pool, professional bowling alley, cinema and enough garage space for a whopping 42 cars.
The extraordinary mansion sprawls across 5,600 square metres of built space on a vast 14,000-square-metre private plot, reportedly the largest in the area.
At the heart of the property is a grand living room opening onto a covered terrace, with panoramic views across the Mediterranean and an enormous pool stretching towards the horizon.
There is also an opulent dining room with enough room for 14 guests, a 60-square-metre show kitchen, a separate service kitchen and an outdoor barbecue area.
The 13 suites are each between 140 and 150 square metres in area, meaning the bedrooms are larger than many people’s homes.

Downstairs you can find a private wellness area featuring a heated indoor pool, luxury spa, traditional hammam, Finnish sauna, fully equipped gym, massage room and a hair and manicure salon.
And when all that relaxing becomes exhausting, residents can pop into the entertainment area, complete with a billiards room, bar, professional double bowling alley and a cinema with enough room for a couple dozen friends.
For car enthusiasts, there is a museum-quality display garage capable of showing off 12 vehicles, alongside an underground garage with room for a further 30.
The palatial villa is also packed with smart-home technology, controlling everything from climate and lighting to entertainment and security, with an integrated audio system across the property.
Villa Bellagio was designed by leading architect Jesus del Valle, whose work earned the prestigious Macael Award for Best Design in 2022 – a prize presented by the Spanish royal family.
The home was previously owned by the British tycoon Joe Ricotta, who stored five Ferrari supercars in its sprawling garage.
But it’s now on the market, with an eye-watering price tag of €70 million.
