Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith bid farewell to their 18-year marriage last year and now they're doing the same with their lavish Los Angeles estate. The Italian-inspired 15,000-square-foot home is worth a whopping $16.1 million and includes a beautiful pool and rose garden. The former Hollywood couple purchased the home for $4.2 million back in 1999. A piece of real estate this gorgeous must be hard to say goodbye to! Take the tour for yourself and you'll see what I mean.

The entrance
The three-story house looks like something out of a romantic storybook. The property includes 13 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms. Can you imagine having that much space for your family and guests? The beautiful home even includes a banquet hall for lavish entertaining. You're going to want to see this!
The hallway
The house, designed by architect Gordon B. Kaufmann, is a masterpiece. The extravagant hallway includes cherry wood moldings and high ceilings. The religious crosses and colorful artwork adds a special element to this amazing space.
The living room
Can you imagine enjoying a cafecito or cup of tea in this breathtaking living room? The space includes a romantic stone fireplace perfect to cozy next to after a long day. Who wouldn't love that?
The sitting room
When you're Banderas and Griffith you don't just have one space to lounge in! Their sitting room is surrounded by wide windows and hand-stenciled ceilings. The decor in this room is so warm and inviting, right?
The dining room
It's going to be a formal affair from the second you enter the dining room! The room probably smells of money and success. The oriental rug goes perfectly with the beautiful wooden details in this room.
The library
I hope Banderas and his former wife made time from their busy schedules to sit down and enjoy this peaceful reading room. There's such a timeless charm about the interior design and the chandelier adds a touch of class that's priceless.
The lounge space
Even the entrance way has furniture for you to relax and hang out. This seems like the perfect area to take a nap without having anyone bug you! I'm sure the former couple's daughter, Stella, was a fan of this space.
The office
Handling business in this room would be a dream come true. I doubt Banderas had a bad day at work in this beautiful room. The aqua colored walls makes the natural light look even more enchanting.
The bedroom
This is the definition of a love shack. The red decor symbolizes passion and love. There are 12 other bedrooms throughout the house and I'm sure they're all as magical as this one.
The studio
Banderas loves to sing and we all know he was all over the Desperado soundtrack. The Spanish star had his own at-home studio where he could record his own music. That's a pretty sweet hobby!
The backyard
Entertaining an outdoor gathering is easy when you live in an estate like this one. The expansive lawn area has a beautiful garden and overlooks the lavish pool area. You have to see this!
The pool
The pool looks like a slice of heaven. It must be so hard for Banderas and Griffith to say goodbye to this spectacular space. Whoever purchases the home is one lucky rich person.
