A TIMELESS AUSTRALIAN TREASURE — FORTUNA VILLA ✨
In September 1929, The Australian Home Beautiful featured Fortuna Villa in a beautiful article titled “Where History Has Been Made.”
Even then, Fortuna was a place of extraordinary beauty, elegance and history.
Inspired by George Lansell’s fascination with Italy and European grandeur, Fortuna became a remarkable expression of architectural artistry, cultural refinement and a love of beautiful surroundings. Its magnificent interiors, ornamental gardens, tranquil lakes and timeless details tell a story that has endured for generations.
Nearly 170 years after its earliest beginnings, Fortuna Villa remains a precious part of Australia’s architectural heritage. And today, we are proud to continue caring for this extraordinary estate, preserving its beauty and sharing its history with those who appreciate it.
And now, you have the opportunity to experience Fortuna for yourself. 🤍
Our remaining Open Days for 2026 are:
