A Refined Restoration that Enhances the Original Beauty

Villa Giulia underwent a total redevelopment during the pandemic era, with the aim of maintaining a strong connection with the landscape and respecting the nature in which it is set. Thanks to a volumetric expansion of 20 percent, an outdoor pergola was created to shade a charming sea-view dining area, and the living area was redesigned to enhance the direct relationship with the water, thanks to large glazed windows that provide a privileged view of the sea.

A Villa to Admire from the Sea

To fully understand the majesty of Villa Giulia, one only needs to observe it from the sea: its elegant architecture blends perfectly with the landscape, framed by the deep green of the maritime pines, the bright yellow of the lemon trees, and the vibrant fuchsia bougainvillea. The meticulously landscaped garden guarantees privacy and creates striking color plays in every season.

Private Beach and Direct Access to the Sea

An element of absolute exclusivity is the private beach, accessible directly from outside the villa through private gates. This privilege allows you to experience the sea in total tranquility, having a reserved corner of sand and rocks, perfect for moments of relaxation and to enjoy the unspoiled beauty of the Ligurian Riviera.

Interior Spaces: A Perfect Balance between History and Modernity

The restoration has respected the historical soul of the villa, bringing back to light the original finishes:
- Genoese grit floors, recovered where possible, present unique decorations and geometries for each room.
- Stuccoes, portals and decorative details have been restored with fine craftsmanship.
- In the bathrooms and enlarged rooms, on the other hand, ceramics have been chosen in perfect style with the villa´s era.

The Magic of the Pool and the Reflection on the Water

The heart of the outdoor space is the splendid heated pool, designed to be usable all year round.
