Wonderful Period Castle Overlooking Zoagli's Sea

This luxurious period castle is in an extraordinarily picturesque position in the exclusive village of Zoagli, lying on a wonderful promontory directly overlooking the Gulf of Tigullio, just a few steps away from renowned towns such as Portofino, Santa Margherita Ligure, Rapallo and Sestri Levante.

Its exclusive high position, with the sea on three sides, offers a breathtaking view of the coast from every corner of the property, especially from the terraces on the three turrets of the castle, while the magnificent three-hectare park that frames it gently slopes down to the edge of the cliff, with the peninsula of Portofino to the west and that of Sestri Levante to the east.

There are two private accesses to the sea, thanks to a double path that leads to the Arenella beach, a small natural jewel nestled between Mediterranean nature and rocks.

Dating back to 1550, this property was originally a Saracen watchtower for spotting pirates in the gulf. In the first half of the 17th century, following some alterations to the original structure, it reached its current form in the typical "Alessian" architectural style, in reference to the famous Italian architect Galeazzo Alessi. Today, the castle owes its name to the sailor and Consul of the Kingdom of Sardinia who bought it in the 19th century, who then bequeath it to his son Duke of Castelvari and Duke of Zoagli. The property has remained in the family up to the present day, keeping intact the authentic charm of the period that distinguishes it so much.

Currently intended as a splendid venue for events, with a part reserved for hospitality in the apartments reserved for the reception of its guests, this villa has three levels, the ground floor, first and second floors, enriched by splendid terraces that have been created on top to what was the ancient watchtower. From here, the view embraces the coast at its feet and the town center of Zoagli with the hills behind it.

Several parking spaces for cars find space in the property's big park which, thanks to its large size, is suitable for hosting a swimming pool with a sunbathing area in the most panoramic point.
