Gianni Versace's South Beach Mansion Takes Visitors 'til Sept. 30
Normally you have to peer through an iron gate to see where the late fashion designer Gianni Versace used to party in South Beach. His mansion with its frescoes and lavish interior design right on Ocean Drive in the heart of the Art Deco neighborhood has never been open to the public.
Until now.
Through Sept. 30, you can tour the inside of the mansion courtesy of its owner, Peter Loftin. (Versace, of course, was shot to death at the front gate of the home he called Casa Casuarina in 1997.) Admission is $50 and tours are daily. Details: 305-672-6604.

I was at Versace House years back, and saw it just like you said, looking thru some gates.

And at $50 admission, that's the way I would see it now.

I've seen the pics of Versace's Villa from inside. No wonder he used to call his villa Casa Casuarina.
