γνωστός και ως «αρχιτέκτονας της μόδας». Τόσο για τις

 γλυπτές σιλουέτες στις δημιουργίες του, αλλά και επειδή 

σπούδασε Αρχιτεκτονική στο πανεπιστήμιο του Μιλάνου.

Το 2002 είχε αγοράσει ένα νεοκλασικό κάστρο με πάρκο στο Στρέζα, δημοφιλές

 θέρετρο διακοπών στη λίμνη Ματζιόρε της Ιταλίας.

Ο Gianfranco Ferré, που εργάστηκε ως καλλιτεχνικός διευθυντής του οίκου

 Christian Dior κατά τη δεκαετία του '90 (σκάνδαλο της εποχής επειδή δεν ήταν 

Γάλλος) σχεδίαζε να ανακαινίσει το κάστρο που περιβάλλεται από ιδιωτικό 

πάρκο έκτασης δύο στρεμμάτων και να το αξιοποιήσει για να φιλοξενεί

καλεσμένους του κατά τη διάρκεια των Εβδομάδων Μόδας.

Δυστυχώς, ο Gianfranco Ferré πέθανε ξαφνικά το 2007, σε ηλικία 62 ετών και 

λίγα χρόνια αργότερα το ακίνητο πωλήθηκε σε μια εταιρεία που σκόπευε επίσης 

να το ανακαινίσει, αλλά λόγω άλλων project το διέθεσε τελικά προς πώληση νωρίτερα 

φέτος έναντι 2,8 εκατομμυρίων ευρώ.

Το κάστρο του 19ου αιώνα, το οποίο έχει δύο στρογγυλούς πυργίσκους και ένα 

τετράγωνο κεντρικό πύργο, εξακολουθεί να χρειάζεται πλήρη αποκατάσταση με 

σχέδια που ήδη έχουν εγκριθεί από την εποχή που ήταν στην ιδιοκτησία του

 Gianfranco Ferré.

Στο κάστρο υπάρχουν εννέα υπνοδωμάτια, ένα υπόγειο με δύο κάβες, ένας 

διώροφος ξενώνας δύο υπνοδωματίων και ένας παραδοσιακός κήπος ιταλικού στιλ

 με σιντριβάνια, αγάλματα και βεράντες.

Στην τιμή περιλαμβάνονται επίσης ένα κτίριο 100 τετραγωνικών μέτρων και δύο 

ιδιωτικές παραλίες.

«Το κάστρο ήταν στην ιδιοκτησία του Gianfranco Ferré για πέντε χρόνια» ανέφερε 

αντιπρόσωπος της εταιρείας Francesco Papurello Luxury Real Estate που ανέλαβε

 την πώλησή του.

«Το είχε αγοράσει με την πρόθεση να το ανακαινίσει και να το μετατρέψει σε ένα

 châteaux relais για τους καλεσμένους του κατά τη διάρκεια των Εβδομάδων 

Μόδας. Δυστυχώς, δεν πρόλαβε να υλοποιήσει το έργο του».

Η ελληνική παραλία που μοιάζει με την έρημο Σαχάρα 

Αν το σαφάρι και οι περιπέτειες σε απέραντες αμμώδεις εκτάσεις είναι για εσάς όνειρο ζωής, τότε δεν χρειάζεται να ταξιδέψετε μέχρι τη βόρεια Αφρική για να ζήσετε μια αντίστοιχη εμπειρία.

Μπορείτε να μείνετε εντός συνόρων και αυτό το καλοκαίρι να επισκεφτείτε ένα ελληνικό νησί, την Κέρκυρα, που είναι γεμάτη αντιθέσεις και πέρα από την πυκνή της βλάστηση, τα καταγάλανα νερά, την πανέμορφη παλιά της πόλη, τα γραφικά της χωριά, τη βενετσιάνικη αρχιτεκτονική, το καλό φαγητό, την πλούσια ιστορία και τα αξιοθέατα, διαθέτει μια από τις πιο εντυπωσιακές παραλίες με το πιο απόκοσμο τοπίο που έχετε συναντήσει ποτέ.

Το όνομα της είναι «Ισσος». Πρόκειται για μια απέραντη παρθένα έκταση με χρυσή άμμο, που απλώνει το μεγαλείο της μπροστά στα μάτια του ταξιδιώτη, προκαλώντας του θαυμασμό.

Ο Ισσος θυμίζει από την πρώτη κιόλας στιγμή κάτι από την πιο ζεστή έρημο του κόσμου, για το λόγο αυτό και συχνά αναφέρεται ως «Σαχάρα της Κέρκυρας» από τους ντόπιους, αλλά και από όσους τον έχουν επισκεφτεί και φωτογραφίσει.

Είναι εύκολα προσβάσιμη, ενώ απέχει περίπου 20 χλμ από την πόλη της Κέρκυρας και δίπλα σε αυτήν την παραλία βρίσκεται και η λίμνη Κορισσίων (από τα ανατολικά), που αποτελεί το σημαντικότερο υδροβιότοπο στο νησί του Ιονίου και είναι μια προστατευμένη περιοχή natura.

Το επιβλητικό της τοπίο συμπληρώνεται από τεράστιους φυσικούς αμμόλοφους που υψώνονται κόντρα στο κύμα και γίνονται το καλύτερο spot για οικογένειες με παιδιά και παρέες, που επιθυμούν να βάλουν απλά την πετσέτα τους στη χρυσή άμμο και να χαλαρώσουν, αλλά για όσους προτιμούν κάτι πιο οργανωμένο, υπάρχουν και σημεία που προσφέρουν ξαπλώστρες και θαλάσσια σπορ.

Ανήκει στις μεγαλύτερες παραλίες της Κέρκυρας. Τα νερά στον Ισσο είναι ρηχά πεντακάθαρα και συχνότερα ήρεμα. Μάλιστα έχει βραβευτεί με τη Γαλάζια Σημαία το 2014.

Από το βόρειο τμήμα της παραλίας ξεκινά και το κεδροδάσος, το οποίο καταλήγει στη διπλανή παραλία του γειτονικού Χαλικούνα.

Οι ταξιδιώτες που επισκέπτονται τον Ισσο μένουν ως αργά το απόγευμα στην παρθένα του παραλία για να δουν το υπέροχο ηλιοβασίλεμα, ενώ δεν διστάζουν να σκηνοθετήσουν τις φωτογραφίες τους ώστε να παραπέμπουν σε ταξίδι στην έρημο!
