Castel Vittorio, Imperia (province)

In Castel Vittorio, just outside the historic centre and directly overlooking the Val Nervia provincial road, we are pleased to offer for sale the building locally known as “Busciun”, which for many years was used as a bar and restaurant.

This is a unique property, difficult to compare with a traditional commercial premises: the building is arranged over several levels and consists of two sections built in different periods. The older part, constructed in stone, originally housed an olive mill used for olive processing, while the more recent section was later converted for restaurant use.

At road level, the main areas of the former restaurant are located, including the bar area, kitchen, dining rooms, bathrooms and outdoor spaces. On the lower levels there are several rooms used as storage areas, pantry and deposits, as well as the original olive mill rooms and large covered areas offering interesting potential for redevelopment.

The property is completed by approximately 300 sqm of adjoining land, located on the downhill side and easily accessible from the municipal public car park below.

One of the most interesting aspects of the property is the possibility of completely reimagining its layout and use. Over the years, a renovation and redevelopment project was prepared, designed to improve the restaurant areas, restore the old olive mill, create terraces and loggias overlooking the valley, and provide easier connections between the different levels. The project also included the installation of a lift, three garages on the lower level and photovoltaic panels on the new roof.

The property currently requires renovation works, but its size, location and distinctive layout make it suitable for various potential developments: not only restaurant use, but also hospitality-related activities, the production and sale of local products, a food and wine venue, or another commercial project compatible with the permitted uses.

The location is convenient in relation to the village: the historic centre of Castel Vittorio is just a short distance away, and the main services are located nearby. The presence of the public car park immediately below the building, accessible also to larger vehicles, represents an important advantage for any future commercial use.

A property with a unique history and features that are difficult to find elsewhere, particularly interesting for those looking for a building to transform and enhance in the heart of the Ligurian hinterland.
