Portofino, Italy
Private Villa
A unique, marvellous combination: this villa is set on twelve acres of land, high in the hills overlooking the coast while only a few steps away from the Piazza, the Square of Portofino.
It has wonderful, wide-open views of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the night-lights of Portofino’s famous port; it offers total privacy and seclusion, and yet its location puts guests only a few minutes walk to the centre of town, a nice variety of shops and restaurants.
Access to the property is incredibly non-traditional, yet fantastic: guests venture 200 meters into a tunnel bored into the sea rock of Portofino, then a lift brings guests to the entrance gate, 80 meters up. A pathway through an impressive garden leads to the house built on three levels.
Occupying the first floor is the spacious master bedroom, dining room and sitting room. The sitting room is decorated in a serene blue. This leads to the terrace introduced by French doors. The remaining four bedrooms are on the ground floor, opening directly into the garden.
Moving on to the yard, there are four different outdoor dining areas, one of which features a beautiful vine-covered gazebo on a plateau. Guests will undoubtedly use this plateau as a choice vantage point from which to marvel at the Sea of Portofino. There is also a bar carved out from the rock of its natural surroundings. The beautiful areas of lawn and gardens are filled with flowers and trees.
The property offers 3 double bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms; 1 double bedroom with a private bathroom; 1 twin bedroom with a private bathroom; 1 studio that becomes a single bedrooms with private bathroom; 7 bathrooms total; 2 living rooms; 2 kitchens; carport for 2 cars.
