NAPLES, FLA. (August 6, 2025) — Villa Mare Città, an extraordinary European-inspired estate nestled in the heart of Old Naples at 111 5th Avenue South has sold for $11,000,000. James Bates of Premier Sotheby’s International Realty’s Fifth Avenue office represented the buyer.
A masterpiece of classical architecture and artisanal craftsmanship, Villa Mare Città stands as a singular expression of elegance and refinement. Poised on an oversized parcel just a stone’s throw from the Gulf of Mexico and the world-renowned 5th Avenue South, this distinguished residence commands attention with a façade clad in more than $1 million worth of imported Italian limestone, a defining hallmark of its timeless grandeur.
Impeccably constructed and meticulously maintained, the residence spans over 7,300 square feet of conditioned interiors and features five spacious bedrooms plus a study, a captivating ‘Oval Office’ adorned with custom detailing, and an open-concept floor plan thoughtfully curated for both lavish entertaining and serene everyday living.
A culinary connoisseur’s dream, the gourmet kitchen is anchored by three expansive islands and seamlessly integrates with the home’s grand entertaining spaces. Additional appointments include a private elevator, seven-car garage, rooftop sunset deck, and an abundance of discreet storage.
Outdoors, an expansive covered lanai is complemented by a fully equipped summer kitchen, overlooking a 70-foot resort-style pool and beautifully landscaped grounds, offering an unparalleled retreat just moments from Naples’ famed white-sand beaches.
“Villa Mare Città is a work of art that evokes the spirit of classical European estates while embodying the sophistication and lifestyle of coastal Naples,” said James Bates, Premier Sotheby’s International Realty. “It was an honor to assist my customers in acquiring this architectural treasure.”
