Villa Serenada was the long-time home of Iraqi Turkmen banker, billionaire, businessman, financier, and author Nemir Kirdar.
Kirdar founded private equity firm Investcorp, which once owned Gucci, Tiffany & Co., and Saks Fifth Avenue.
In 2000, Kirdar lent this property to Charles, Prince of Wales and Camilla Parker Bowles, prior to their marriage, for a romantic getaway.
