Verzosa revealed the purchase through an Instagram Story post, sharing photos of the newly acquired house located in Puglia, a region in southern Italy. 'Bought a house in Italy… She's finally ours,' she wrote, referring to the property named Villa Sogno or 'dream villa.' The villa, designed in traditional Puglian architectural style, features a stone façade, a central courtyard, landscaped gardens, and a turquoise pool. Its interiors blend rustic and modern elements, including arched windows, barrel-vaulted ceilings, a wooden farmhouse table, wicker chairs, and a four-poster bed with a copper bathtub. One of Verzosa's co-owners, Danish musician Tomas Barfod, gave a closer look at the property through photos on his Instagram page. The acquisition follows Verzosa's business debut last year, when she launched her shapewear clothing line.
