The Villa Casa Casuarina, the former home of Gianni Versace, has been transformed into an elegant Miami Beach retreat. Built in 1930, the mansion has the designer's touch throughout, and is a mix of Spanish and Italian influences coupled with opulent details. The Ocean Drive manor-turned-boutique-hotel features just 10 suites showcasing rich and vibrant hues with only the finest of furnishings displayed. Lounge by the legendary mosaic pool or slip behind the curtain of a luxury beachfront cabana. Sunset cocktails are best enjoyed in the Observatory lounge overlooking the glistening Atlantic Ocean. Casa Casuarina also features a trio of sultry lounges including one for cigar aficionados. Guests can enjoy culinary specialties atop the upper terrace with views of the tropical gardens. The acclaimed fine dining establishment Loftin's 1116 Ocean, with its detailed stone mosaic, adds an element of drama to your meals. It is easy to envision the likes of Madonna or Elton John supping here during Versace's celebrated reign.

Fantastic boutique villa hotel offering a unique experience with first class levels of service. A big thank you to Talia and everyone else for making our stay so memorable.

Such a wonderful experience! I have stayed in many 5 star hotels and Talia is the best manager yet! Her professional and caring demeanor made our stay incredible and wanting us to come back! I wish there were more Talia’s in the world and, coming from the hospitality industry, she is a rare gem! She keeps the whole place going! The Villa was very quaint and felt like you teleported to an Italian Villa with beautiful sculptures and mosaics surrounding the mansion. The famous restaurant with gorgeous staff, the Versace pool/water features held the decadence throughout, yet had the Italian family feel vibe. The location is perfect for a dip in the ocean, which they provide towels and chairs for. Such a wonderful experience. The fresh pastries and cappuccino in the mornings were the best I had in Miami - only reserved for hotel guests. The rooms are much bigger than anything you would get in Miami for such a good price. And I have to commend Mathias for helping us with our luggage up and down 4 flights of stairs effortlessly (as there’s no elevator). As a guest, I actually loved the stairs with that old fashioned countryside style (ladies: its okay even in heels). The room was spacious with a comfortable bed and the shower was excellent!! They also had a fridge that you could actually put things in, which was very nice. Thank you so very much and o all the lovely staff that make this mansion sparkle!

Every detail of this experience was so heartwarming.. from booking to checking out, every employee was wonderful. We definitely wanted to give a direct shout out to Talia who helped with check in/out — her genuine kindness, and professionalism did not go unnoticed. The food and drinks were divine, the atmosphere is unmatched, and the ability to stay in a piece of art was breathtaking.

Very authentic, and the staff are definitely a 10. Starting from the Front Desk all the way to the restaurant I did not need one staff who was not amazing.
