Located on the Portofino promontory, a ten-minute walk from the center of Camogli and the beach, this traditional Ligurian hillside home—a now-rare example of rural architecture—is nestled within over 5 acres of land featuring productive olive groves, fruit trees, and Mediterranean scrub. From the upper part of the property, perched above the sea, the view spans the entire Gulf of Paradise, from Capo Mele to Punta Chiappa.

‍
The house, spread over two levels with two independent units, underwent a meticulous restoration in the 1990s using bioclimatic techniques, eco-friendly materials, and a laminated timber roof covered in slate. It is accessible by car via a private road from Viale dei Cipressi. The property is completed by four outbuildings and 8 parking spaces.

‍
UPPER FLOOR
A bright living room featuring a decorated wooden ceiling, original exposed beams, trompe-l’oeil walls, and three large arched windows—two of which retain the original slate seats where lace was once made. The floor is a mosaic crafted by the suppliers of the Palazzo Ducale in Genoa, and the room includes a ventilated fireplace. A cast-iron spiral staircase from the early 20th century leads to a Japanese-style loft with tatami mats and a small bathroom. The kitchen is inspired by the 1950s, featuring a Carrara marble sink and high-end appliances. There is a corner bedroom and a bathroom in polychrome slate with a whirlpool tub, Vola fixtures, and Luceplan lamps. Outside, there is a stone and terracotta patio with a wood-burning oven.

‍
LOWER FLOOR
Two areas with independent entrances: a bedroom with 17th-century Lombard terracotta flooring and a Bisazza mosaic bathroom with Philippe Starck fixtures, and a spacious living room with a vaulted ceiling, where a kitchen and second bathroom could be installed. There is a stone patio at the rear.

THE GARDEN
Designed with the consultation of landscape architect Ippolito Pizzetti, the garden is home to olive, lemon, pomegranate, persimmon, and Japanese mandarin trees. The wide terraces allow for the construction of a swimming pool. The property includes a rainwater cistern and is pre-wired for home automation.
