Historical Luxury Villa With Park And Sea-facing Pool In Sanremo

Set in one of the most exclusive and scenic hilltop enclaves of the Riviera di Ponente, in the residential district of Poggio a Sanremo, stands this extraordinary 500-sqm historic villa in colonial style, spread over two levels. The property, which includes a separate annexe, comprises a total of six bedrooms and four bathrooms. Set within a lush private park of 2,000 sqm, enriched by centuries-old and exotic trees, the grounds are enhanced by a spectacular infinity pool offering panoramic sea views across the Gulf. Built in 1930 and formerly owned by the renowned Dr Domenico Aicardi, a distinguished botanist and key figure in Sanremo’s floriculture industry, the residence is characterised by the timeless aristocratic elegance of the last century, reimagined in a setting of absolute privacy as a sumptuous, high-profile residence. The scale and flexibility of the spaces make this villa an ideal solution for hosting numerous guests, lending itself perfectly to the development of refined hospitality services of the highest international standard.

The interior architecture is distinguished by the extraordinary spaciousness of the rooms, the majestically high ceilings and the monumental panoramic windows that flood the rooms with natural light, establishing an uninterrupted visual connection with the sea horizon. The entrance landing opens onto a sumptuous ground floor paved with carefully selected, refined marble, featuring a spacious reception room and a private study served by a first bathroom. A flowing corridor leads to the open-plan kitchen, equipped with a spacious built-in larder and a dedicated bathroom, flanked by a practical laundry room.

The monumental staircase leads directly to the first floor, where one is greeted by an immense panoramic living room characterised by warm, fine parquet flooring and extraordinary views on all four sides of the building. The floor plan skilfully divides the sleeping area into two distinct wings. One wing houses two spacious guest bedrooms served by a sumptuous bathroom, whilst the opposite wing is entirely dedicated to the luxurious master suite. The latter comprises a spacious bedroom, a bespoke walk-in wardrobe and a spacious en-suite bathroom finished in fine marble. Both the master bedroom and the adjoining walk-in wardrobe open directly onto a magnificent, liveable terrace facing the sea, and a panoramic balcony. Within the grounds, there is also a second detached building, a 150-sqm annexe, ideal for accommodating guests or domestic staff in complete privacy.

The 2,000-sqm outdoor area is a veritable botanical garden of exceptional design, tastefully laid out with extensive lawns and planted with historic exotic species and tall trees originally introduced by the famous scientist who once owned the property. A large stone-paved courtyard leads to a fabulous veranda covered by a white wooden pergola, featuring an outdoor dining area and a built-in barbecue area, perfect for al fresco dining with panoramic views. Directly overlooking the sea is the spectacular infinity pool, an exclusive outdoor space complete with a sunbathing area that seems to blend seamlessly into the waters of the gulf and the harbour below. Rounding off the extraordinary facilities of this estate are a spacious underground wine cellar, ancillary service rooms and a large outdoor area designated as an open-air car park, capable of easily accommodating at least ten luxury cars.
