Nino Manfredi's Famous Villa By The Sea In The Gulf Of Gaeta

This unmistakable luxury villa for sale is a jewel set on the coast of the Agro Pontino, where the Mediterranean sea touches the coasts of Lazio. Built in the 1960s by architect Alberto Gatti for the unforgettable actor Nino Manfredi, this three-storey villa lies directly on the cliff, for a total internal surface area of 408 sqm. It is surrounded by a 1,300-sqm garden. Here, the splendid panoramic terraces overlook the turquoise waters of the Gulf of Gaeta and offer a private descent to the beach below.

Nino Manfredi, a versatile and incisive artist, is considered one of the greatest interpreters of the golden years of Italian cinema. In the 1960s, he chose to establish his summer home here, invited by his friend Alberto Sordi so they could spend their holiday periods together. An idyllic place, where the actor came to wind down. The villa's famous terrace was the ideal place to host both banquets with friends and business meetings with colleagues, world-famous screenwriters and directors. The villa and its surrounding beaches have been used as a set for several film productions, as in the case of the film "Between Miracles", winner of the Best First Work award at the Cannes Film Festival in 1971, and the series "The Count of Monte Cristo" with Gérard Depardieu and Ornella Muti.

This famous villa is a project born from the aesthetic synergy between the actor and his friend Alberto Gatti, a renowned architect, artist and scholar. An exponent of architectural neorealism, he pursues a clear, limpid design in which the volumes break down and, as if by magic, attach themselves to the rocky overhang, in a work with strong landscape values that merges with the surroundings.

The building has 3 levels. The entrance on the ground floor opens onto a large, bright and welcoming living area. On the upper level, there is a kitchen with a dining room and a living room, with access to a covered terrace with a convenient oven for outdoor cooking. The sleeping area has 9 bedrooms, some of which have a small terrace overlooking the sea. The modern lines of the house continue outside, where a huge multi-level terrace overlooks the gulf.

The outdoors can be enjoyed at all hours of the day. A big gazebo protects a relaxation corner from the sun with armchairs and sofas and a big table for outdoor lunches and dinners. The open areas are perfect sunbathing areas where you can enjoy the breeze that comes from the sea. Here, there is a jacuzzi, deckchairs and umbrellas. All around, a vast, well-kept garden embraces the villa, ensuring maximum privacy, and including two garages and an open space for additional parking spaces. The property has its own private access to the sea: privileged access to the crystal clear waters of the Gulf of Gaeta. It is possible to explore the adjacent coves with canoes or SUPs, which can then be stored in the convenient dedicated storage room.

This extraordinary villa for sale is a gem surrounded by uncontaminated nature, which contains a part of the history of Italian cinema and design. With bright interior spaces, vast panoramic exteriors and direct access to the sea, this villa is a unique place where history and contemporaneity are mixed in an unparalleled experience.
