For sale villa, city Rapallo Genova

The history of Villa Olimpo dates back to 1870, when a distinguished, veteran Navy captain, having retired from his career at sea, chose the timeless elegance of Rapallo as the site for his private residence. From this vision emerged a refined complex of historic villas, including the prestigious Villa Olimpo, a true architectural gem of the Ligurian Riviera.
Completed in 1896, the property today celebrates 130 years of history, charm, and prestige. Even today, every room preserves the aristocratic character of the era intact, offering an atmosphere of extraordinary authenticity and charm.
The villa spans a total area of approximately 450 square meters, distributed primarily across two main levels:
- On the main floor, a magnificent triple-roomed living area welcomes guests with spacious and bright reception rooms, complemented by a refined dining room, a large open-concept kitchen, a private study, a guest bathroom, and a convenient storage closet.
- The upper floor features seven elegant bedrooms, four bathrooms, a charming balcony, and a splendid terrace overlooking the surrounding greenery—ideal for moments of complete relaxation and privacy.
- The top floor houses a charming attic.
Rounding out the property is a charming, detached guesthouse, comprising a living room with a kitchenette, a bedroom, a bathroom, and a private terrace: an exclusive solution for hosting guests or staff with the utmost privacy.
Villa Olimpo is nestled within an enchanting, fully landscaped private garden—an oasis of tranquility and beauty featuring cozy relaxation areas furnished with small tables and chairs, perfect for savoring the Riviera atmosphere in total elegance. The property also features a splendid period greenhouse, an element of great architectural charm, which today could be repurposed as a winter garden or a more modern wellness area.
The property includes a garage, and a project for the construction of additional parking spaces has also been approved.
A unique residence where history, prestige, and Mediterranean charm come together in one of the most enchanting locations on the Ligurian Riviera.
