Stunning Panoramic Villa With A Pool Over The Bay Of Silence

In the enchanting setting of Sestri Levante, this villa for sale is an architectural jewel from the 1960s, designed by renowned architect Alberto Mazzoni. 460 sqm of interior spaces immersed in the lush greenery of the Mediterranean maquis, with panoramic views of the area's spectacular bays. The indoor and outdoor spaces are harmoniously connected, creating a continuous dialogue with the surrounding nature. The more than 2,000 sqm of terraced gardens, rich in olive trees and luxuriant vegetation, invite you to stroll along shady paths and enjoy moments of pure relaxation on the spacious terraces or by the swimming pool, immersed in a context of absolute privacy and tranquillity and overlooking the sea.

This villa for sale is located in a privileged position in Sestri Levante, a picturesque town on the Ligurian Riviera. The village is famous for the unmistakable morphology of its territory, from which it derives its nickname ‘City of the Two Seas’: the historic centre overlooks two bays, the Bay of Silence and the Bay of Fairytales, divided by an isthmus that joins the promontory to the mainland. The Danish writer and poet Hans Christian Andersen, during his 19th century Grand Tour, fell in love with the enchanting views of Sestri Levante and stayed there in 1833. Twenty-eight years old at the time and not yet famous, Andersen stayed at an inn right on the Bay of Silence. Here, enraptured by such beauty, he found inspiration for some of his most renowned works, such as ‘The Little Mermaid’.

The architecture of the villa was conceived and realised in the 1960s by the renowned architect Alberto Mazzoni, who had already designed Villa Mondadori in Camaiore. Mazzoni was inspired by the geometries of Frank Lloyd Wright, breaking with the classicist and rationalist canons of the past and favouring poetics centred on the relationship with space, nature and the organic nature of the relationship between man and the environment. In the house, he weaves a constant dialogue between outdoor and indoor spaces, integrating the natural beauty of the surroundings with airy, light-filled rooms.

The villa is built on two levels, both overlooking large outdoor spaces. On the upper floor there is a triple living room with spectacular sliding glass windows overlooking the sea and a dining room - rooms that are connected to the gardens and pool area via a charming inner courtyard. The kitchen, with a French window leading to the internal garden, is flanked by a convenient utility room. A large study, three bedrooms and 4 bathrooms complete the floor. An internal staircase leads to the lower floor, overlooking a marvellous olive grove with sea view, which houses 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 2 storage rooms and other service spaces. 

The villa's exteriors are equally charming, with a well-kept and panoramic 2,500-sqm garden, complete with paths and terraces, olive trees and lush vegetation. The swimming pool, in a dominant position, is surrounded by a relaxation area that guarantees tranquillity and maximum privacy and offers a unique view of the sea. The habitable terraces offer additional space to enjoy the panorama, the beautiful Ligurian sun and the crisp breeze rising from the sea. The property also includes four private parking spaces and the possibility of a big covered garage.

This villa offers a unique opportunity for those seeking a prestigious property in one of the most fascinating locations on the Ligurian Riviera. The combination of refined architecture, exclusive location and modern amenities makes this property an ideal investment for a life of luxury. The proximity to the centre of Sestri Levante, its main attractions and beaches, adds further value, offering a perfect balance between privacy and comfort in this true corner of paradise.
