Inside the Versace Mansion
Villa Casa Casuarina, also known as the Versace Mansion, is nestled between 11th and 12th streets on Ocean Drive where it is surprisingly secluded from the touristy bustle of South Beach. As seen on the new TV drama American Crime Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versace, the famous designer's former home is filled with ornate decor like stone walls and walkways, antique patterned tile, stained glass windows, relief sculptures of prominent explorers, philosophers, and icons of his favorite goddess, Medusa.
