Former Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of Qatar, Hamad bin Jassim, has reportedly acquired a prominent villa in Sardinia, a property that was previously associated with former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi. According to reports, the sale price for the estate reached 350 million euros. The residence, known as “Certosa,” is noted for its history as Berlusconi’s unofficial summer retreat.
The property has garnered significant public attention due to its connection to the controversial “bunga bunga” parties, events which were central to major political and judicial scandals within Italy. Berlusconi faced various accusations related to these gatherings, including allegations concerning prostitution, although he was later acquitted of charges related to corruption and abuse of office. While the buyer of the villa is legally registered in Luxembourg, Italian media sources have linked the purchase to the Al Thani family.
The transaction marks a notable transfer of high-profile Italian real estate. The acquisition of this specific villa, steeped in the recent political drama surrounding Berlusconi, underscores the property’s high visibility and historical significance in Italian public life. The sale has drawn attention to the intersection of international wealth and Mediterranean real estate markets.
