Anne Lu - Celebrity News Service News Writer Madrid, Spain (CNS) - Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith has lost their battle on their beachfront property. The Hollywood couple are forced to give up a large portion of their estate in Costa del Sol after losing a battle with local officials.
The duo - who met while filming the comedy "Two Much" in 1995 - were told that more than 14,000 sq. ft. of their villa's gardens will be seized to allow public access to the beach.
They bought the $8 million mansion in 1997 and have been using it as their summer retreat house ever since.
However, in 2003, they were told his house was built illegally because a building license granted in 2001 should never have been approved. It apparently encroached on Greenland, which officials argue should be public property.
They are still pursuing an appeal against a court ruling last year that ordered them to remove one wing of their house.
