N° 057 | Historic Ligurian Home

Italy > Liguria
users 10 bed 5 bath 3

A stunning country house between Portofino and Cinque Terre with sweeping views over the hills and the sea. This beautiful property set among the hills of Liguria was a complete ruin when Monika discovered it, hidden by vines and overgrown with trees. There were two specific things that spoke to her that day, the absolute epic location and the challenge to bring it back to its former glory. As an architect she could immediately see the whole design and picture herself and the family spending their holidays here. The family embarked on this adventure and a couple of years later an true gem has emerged from this previous ruin. 

As soon as you arrived you will be mesmerised by the view and the peace and calm that comes over you when you stand on the terrace overlooking the Ligurian mountains and the sea.
