About
This Space
The Ligurian Seaside Villa is a true vacation getaway nestled on the top of the adorable village of Zoagli on the Ligurian coast. With sweeping views of the Mediterranean sea, Portofino, and Santa Margherita this historic villa built in 1888 is the perfect space for discerning guests seeking authenticity and charm. With its five bedrooms and three bathrooms, this Italian vacation home is the ideal location for relaxing and basking in the relaxed Italian way of life and exploring the seaside villages of the Cinque Terre, Portofino, Camogli, and Santa Margherita.
The main living areas of the Ligurian Seaside Villa have authentic antique furniture, frescoed ceilings, decorative cement tiles, and marble flooring. The living room has large windows overlooking gardens and a dining room with seating for up to twenty guests. The charming tiled kitchen includes a gas range, a wood burning stove, and everything you will need to prepare delicious local Italian fare. On request, the owners can fire up the outdoor brick and stone traditional wood oven so you can create your own pizza. Due to the high temperatures involved, the owners will assist you. Outdoor dining under shady flowers and vines overlooking the sea has never been nicer.
Up a marble staircase to the second floor are the five bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The rooms are decorated with frescoed ceilings, antique furniture, and lovely linens. Most of the windows have delightful Mediterranean views and offer seaside breezes. Two of the bedrooms have queen beds, two have double beds, and the fifth bedroom has two singles in the form of a trundle bed and a third a single bed. There is also crib available upon request at no extra fee. Please note that this bedroom is quite small and the perfect room for children due to the small size of the room and bed configuration.
Two of the bedrooms have a connecting door and can be used as one large suite or as two entirely separate bedrooms. One of the bathrooms has antique fittings and a marble bathtub and the other bathroom includes a modern shower and an panoramic Ligurian sea view. The third bathroom with shower, toilet and sink is located on the ground floor.
This hilltop villa is located in the midst of Mediterranean gardens, flowers, and fruit trees. The many trees on the property include mimosa, olive, peach, and lemon, just to name a few. There is also a vegetable garden with tomatoes, zucchinis, eggplants, basil, green beans, and more. In season you can delight in picking and eating a variety fruits and vegetables as they ripen.
The villa has a lovely small pool with panoramic seaside views, perfect for a refreshing afternoon dip after a day at the Zoagli beaches.
At the end of the large private garden is a pergola with a comfortable indoor space and furniture and outdoor chaise lounges where you can unwind looking out at the panoramic views of Portofino, Santa Margherita Ligure, yachts, sailboats and the relaxing expanse of blue sea. Or you may find yourself taking a nap in the hammock and forgetting, for a while, that the outside world exists.
A few hundred feet from the villa you will fall in love with Zoagli’s adorable food and produce market. As this is Italy, you will find pretty much everything you need for a delicious meal: from a selection of wine, cheese, Italian cold cuts, bread, milk, fresh fruit and vegetables, to many other food choices. A short walk from your villa is an Italian Trattoria la Campagnola where you can dine on nice simple plates of pasta and fish. Call ahead and the accommodating owner will prepare your favorite dishes just for you!
When you pass through the gate at the Ligurian Seaside villa, you will leave the stresses of life behind and relax under the rich foliage of magnolia, palm, and mimosa trees. At night you willd luxuriate in crisp linens with a soothing sea breeze to rock you to sleep. The breathtaking views, the seaside air, the shady terraces and gazebo offer idyllic beauty and repose. The Ligurian Seaside Villa is the perfect Italian vacation retreat. The delightful and knowledgeable English-speaking owners are always on hand to help and offer suggestions and recommendations.
