History and Context
On the western Ligurian Riviera, where gentle hills meet the endless blue of the Mediterranean, lies Cipressa: an ancient village of enduring charm. Pastel-coloured houses recall a seafaring and farming past, harmoniously blending with the natural landscape. Legend has it that Cipressa was founded centuries ago by three shepherds from Cyprus, lending the village its evocative name. Strolling through its cobbled streets, the scents of bougainvillea and citrus mingle with the salty sea breeze, while distant waves provide a soothing soundtrack. In this historic and tranquil setting, perched above the sea with panoramic horizons, stands an exceptional luxury villa.
Since the 19th century, the Riviera dei Fiori has drawn nobles and artists from across Europe, captivated by its mild climate and dramatic scenery. Today, it remains a private and exclusive retreat. This villa embodies the spirit of Liguria: modern and sophisticated, yet seamlessly integrated into its surroundings, offering a refined setting to experience the Mediterranean art of living.
Architecture and Design
The villa is the result of a vision that unites tradition and contemporary design. Its clean lines are enriched with classic touches: columns and porticoes frame the façades, large windows and French doors capture the sea view, and terraces and loggias create shaded outdoor living spaces. The main entrance welcomes guests with understated grandeur, foreshadowing the elegance within.
Materials of exceptional quality define the interior: polished marble, fine wood parquet, and hand-forged iron details merge with light, Mediterranean-inspired color palettes. Every fixture and custom-made piece has been carefully selected to convey subtle luxury and absolute comfort. The result is a timeless style, contemporary yet classic, where past and present coexist naturally, reflecting the philosophy of Dimore by Camisa.
Interiors
Spanning approximately 800 m², the villa offers generous, light-filled spaces designed for both social living and private relaxation. A double living room flows seamlessly to the outdoors via large French windows, connecting interior and exterior life. Adjacent is a formal dining room for elegant dinners, a billiard room with a refined, old-world atmosphere, and a music room where a grand piano complements convivial moments.
Culinary versatility is provided by three kitchens: a main kitchen for haute cuisine, a secondary service kitchen, and an outdoor kitchen perfect for al fresco dining with sea views.
The sleeping quarters comprise eight luxurious bedrooms, each with sea views, en-suite marble bathrooms, and crafted wardrobes. The master suite features a panoramic Jacuzzi, offering an immersive, rejuvenating experience. Completing the interior is a private gym equipped with professional machines.
Exterior and Gardens
Stepping outside reveals a private Mediterranean paradise. The 3-hectare park offers complete privacy and direct contact with nature. A 3,000 m² lawn surrounds the villa, punctuated by centuries-old olive trees, palms, and vibrant Mediterranean flora.
The panoramic saltwater pool commands stunning views over the gulf, complemented by a solarium, lounge area, and shaded relaxation spaces. A tennis court nestled in the greenery invites active leisure, while a porticoed patio and fully equipped outdoor kitchen make alfresco dining effortless.
Terraced gardens, lined with stone walls and rosemary-scented paths, lead down toward the sea. Hidden corners include a natural belvedere and a wisteria-covered pergola. At sunset, an expertly designed lighting system transforms the gardens and pool into a magical setting.
View and Location
Elevated and commanding, the villa enjoys uninterrupted views over the Ligurian Sea, stretching from the French Riviera to the eastern bays. The location guarantees total privacy and peace, shielded from traffic and noise, yet only minutes from Cipressa’s village centre and the nearby beaches.
Strategically positioned, the property allows easy access to Liguria’s cultural and gastronomic attractions, as well as glamorous destinations like Sanremo, Monte Carlo, and Nice. Inland, hilltop villages and olive groves offer authentic food, wine, and cultural experiences.
