5 bedrooms villa, 300 m²

Dolceacqua, Imperia (province)

The “Villa Bella Vista” is set on a rare and almost unique hilltop, approximately 300 meters above sea level. From here one enjoys a breathtaking, uninterrupted 360° panorama – to the south the sparkling Mediterranean, to the north the snow-capped peaks of the Maritime Alps, and in between the gently undulating Ligurian hills. Thanks to its elevated position, the property benefits from sunshine throughout the day, absolute tranquillity, and the utmost privacy – in summer and winter alike.
Situated on a total plot of approx. 2.6 hectares – about 4,000 m² of which has been landscaped as a park and enclosed – the villa not only provides beautifully designed outdoor spaces but also offers scope for further development. A separate section of the land carries building permission for an additional residence of around 150 m². This part can, if desired, also be sold separately – an attractive opportunity for investors or families seeking multiple dwellings.
The villa itself offers approx. 300 m² of living space, distributed over two floors and a converted attic. The ground floor opens with a spacious, glass-fronted entrance hall leading directly into the open, light-filled living area. Living room, dining area and kitchen blend seamlessly, creating an inviting space characterised by openness and generosity. A fireplace adds warmth and cosiness, while floor-to-ceiling windows provide uninterrupted views of the expansive south-facing pool terrace. This terrace forms the natural heart of the home, with large glazed doors creating a smooth transition between indoor and outdoor living. Two modern shower rooms complete the ground floor.
From the living area a staircase leads up to the attic, currently arranged as two bedrooms, one overlooking Dolceacqua. The lower floor accommodates three bedrooms, one with en-suite bathroom, plus an additional bathroom. There is also a spacious utility room and a wellness area with direct access to the garden and a shaded north terrace.
Comfort features include a gas-fired central heating system with private underground tank, air conditioning in the bedrooms, a swimming pool with steam room in the technical wing, and a Finnish sauna in the wellness area.
The villa is located about 3.5 km above the medieval town of Dolceacqua – one of the most charming and lively places in the Ligurian hinterland. Dolceacqua offers excellent infrastructure with restaurants, small shops, banks, a school, post office and medical services – all reachable within just a few minutes by car. Surrounded by olive groves, vineyards and numerous hiking trails, this is a paradise for nature lovers, outdoor enthusiasts and those who simply enjoy the good life.Thanks to its strategic position, the French border, Bordighera and Ventimiglia with its modern marina can be reached in approx. 25 minutes, Sanremo in around 50 minutes, the Principality of Monaco in an hour, and Nice International Airport in just over an hour. This makes “Villa Bella Vista” not only an exclusive retreat amidst nature but also an ideal residence for international visitors, commuters, or as a second home between the Italian Riviera and the Côte d’Azur.
