Sea-facing Villa On The Hills Of Santa Margherita Ligure

Perched high on the hills overlooking the coast, this impressive detached villa offers one of the most breathtaking views of the sea and the village below, with unobstructed views stretching across the entire Gulf of Tigullio. The property stands out for its generous dimensions – approximately 1,500 sqm in total – spread over three levels connected by internal staircases and a lift, and for the private park of over one hectare that surrounds it on all sides. The perimeter terraces, long balconies and large glazed openings allow one to constantly enjoy the connection with the sea, making this villa a perfect solution for those seeking a prestigious estate capable of accommodating many guests in a setting of absolute privacy.

One of the three vehicle entrances leads to the driveway that takes you to the main level of the house. Here, a large balcony overlooks the well-tended garden, enriched with olive trees and landscaped green spaces, setting the tone for the property’s relaxed atmosphere. The ground floor features a spacious living room with a striking fireplace, ideal as a large communal area for family lunches or evenings with friends, as well as numerous utility rooms dedicated to laundry, storage, the boiler room and a large space for parking cars. The presence of multiple entrances and substantial service areas makes this level extremely functional, even when managed by dedicated staff.

The first floor is entirely dedicated to the main sleeping area and houses seven bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, forming a veritable suite floor for family and guests. The rooms, arranged along the sea front, open onto balconies and terraces offering direct views of the Ligurian landscape, allowing every room to benefit from natural light and sea views. The presence of built-in cupboards, hallways and utility spaces allows for an orderly organisation of the space, maintaining maximum privacy between the various rooms. Such a spacious layout also allows, if desired, for the layout to be reconfigured into independent apartments or larger suites.

The second floor, accessible via both the lift and an external pedestrian entrance, is dedicated to the formal living area. Here, there is a triple living room and a dining room with big windows opening onto a spectacular terrace, from which the view of the Gulf of Tigullio is truly breathtaking, transforming this space into the hub of the home’s social life. On the same level are a large kitchen, ancillary rooms and two further bathrooms, making the floor self-contained for any type of reception. The generous internal ceiling heights, the fluid layout of the rooms and direct access to the terraces create a natural continuity between indoors and outdoors, typical of large seaside holiday homes.

The private park surrounding the villa, covering approximately 10,000 sqm, features mature Mediterranean vegetation, with olive trees, ornamental plants and paths leading to various resting and relaxation areas, all offering privileged views of the sea. The numerous terraces, unique in their size and panoramic position, are a real highlight of the property, offering different settings for al fresco breakfasts, summer dinners and large outdoor events. The project to build a swimming pool, already approved and currently awaiting authorisation, will add a further element of prestige to the grounds, creating a wellness area perfectly integrated into the landscape. The grounds also feature a guest house, ideal as staff accommodation or as an additional guest unit, as well as a delightful greenhouse that adds charm and functionality to the garden.
