From the 50 million euro villa in Bordighera, where the railway passes, to the 46 rooms overlooking the Apuan Alps in Ameglia. Here are the luxury residences for sale in Liguria, with a mandate entrusted to the prestigious Christie’s International Real Estate and Berkshire Hathaway Homeservices Palazzo Estate, by Warren Buffett.
There has been much talk in recent days about Villa Ego, the residence in western Liguria owned by Silvio Berlusconi’s former partner at Tele+ Renato Della Valle, and his wife Luana Ravegnini, a Rai presenter. The residence is on sale for 50 million euros.
“A few steps from the crystalline sea of the Ligurian Riviera, – we read in the presentation sheet – we offer this exclusive pied-dans-le-mer property, equipped with every comfort, located in an exclusive position and immersed in a 23,000 m² park in the Mediterranean scrub, with exclusive access to a private beach. The exteriors and interiors of the residence, as well as the terraced park, – we read further in the description – were designed in 1940 by Gio Ponti, one of the greatest exponents of world architecture of the century. A unique feature of the park is given by the numerous sculptures created by renowned artists such as the famous Giorgio De Chirico and other important exponents of different artistic periods.
The main villa, built with fine materials and elegant finishes, is structured on 3 levels, for a total of 1050 m²; from the large living room to the 10 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms, brightness is guaranteed by the large windows that offer a unique panoramic view. The basement is dedicated to the SPA with jacuzzi and therapeutic pool that can also be used in the colder months. This prestigious and spacious property is completed by 4 independent apartments on 3 levels, a 215 m² dependance for the caretaker, a huge garage and a museum designed by one of the greatest architects of the 20th century: Kenzo Tange. The park features a large swimming pool surrounded by lush vegetation full of palm trees, ensuring total privacy. In addition, there is another indoor heated pool. The property includes a large heliport, which allows you to reach the Principality of Monaco and Rome in 5 and 45 minutes by helicopter respectively.
The helicopter is not the only means of transport to reach the villa. According to legend, Mussolini had the train stop directly in the garden, and even today the carriages pass about sixty times a day.
The same agency has three other villas for sale in Liguria, none of them in the province of Genoa. However, luxury properties appear in Albisola, Ameglia, the same municipality where Giovanni Toti is serving house arrest, and in Sanremo. In the city of flowers, Villa Dendi is for sale, the luxury residence where Fedez and Chiara Ferragni stayed during the Festival.
Let’s find out:

The villa, built at the end of the 19th century, was commissioned to an English architect and still dominates one of the most evocative places on the Ligurian Riviera. Immersed in a 17,500 square meter park, the Ameglia property enjoys, with its 46 rooms, including ten bedrooms and six bathrooms, a unique view of the Apuan Alps and along the coast. The villa, severely damaged by bombing during the Second World War, passed to the current owners, who oversaw with commitment and dedication the extensive restoration work in 1970. The building is in neo-Romanesque and Renaissance style, not immune to immature “floral” touches identifiable mainly in the pictorial frame of the turret and in the ornamental motifs of the friezes of the string courses. All around there is a large white marble balustrade that divides the domestic area from the terraces below, a landing with a double flight of stairs leads to the lower level of the garden and the cellars. A staircase leads to the large terrace overlooking the Apuan Alps and making the islands of Capraia and Gorgona visible on beautiful summer days.
