Villa Isabella

Villa Isabella stands out for its graceful façade, arranged over multiple levels with elegant arches and columns reminiscent of classic Italian villas. Warm-toned plaster and white details blend beautifully with the scents of the Mediterranean garden, home to rare palms and citrus trees. Time slows down among sweeping sea views, serene corners, and spaces created to fully enjoy the landscape. The heated infinity pool, overlooking the coast, invites relaxation on sun loungers shaded by elegant umbrellas. Panoramic terraces open like scenic stages to the horizon, offering stylish lounges and dining areas under the stars. Every detail contributes to an atmosphere of exclusive serenity, ideal not only for a rejuvenating holiday but also for private events, receptions, and special celebrations in a truly unique setting.

Villa Isabella’s interiors combine sophistication and comfort in bright, expansive spaces. The living room features designer sofas, oriental rugs, and contemporary artworks that add personality and flair. A bar area completes the space, perfect for social gatherings. The dining room, with a solid wood table and upholstered chairs, is connected to the main kitchen, equipped with professional appliances. A second outdoor kitchen, enclosed by a glass structure, opens onto an alfresco dining area that can be enjoyed year-round. The sleeping area includes eight bedrooms: the master suite features a private bathroom, study, private terrace, and stunning sea views. The remaining seven bedrooms share four elegant bathrooms, in addition to two service bathrooms, one of which is conveniently located near the pool. A fully equipped laundry room and a massage room complete the property, offering guests a space for pure relaxation.

Ospedaletti is a small and refined town on the Riviera dei Fiori, one of the most enchanting stretches of the Ligurian coastline in northwestern Italy. This area is renowned for its mild climate year-round, lush vegetation, and crystal-clear waters, making it a favorite destination for travelers seeking beauty, tranquility, and authenticity. Nestled between Bordighera and Sanremo, and less than an hour from the French border, Ospedaletti is beloved for its peaceful atmosphere, manicured gardens, historic villas, and its beautiful seaside promenade—one of the longest and most scenic in Europe—connecting directly to Sanremo via a coastal pedestrian and cycling path built on the former railway line.

Just minutes away, Sanremo is a lively and cosmopolitan city, world-famous for its Italian Song Festival, its grand Liberty-style casino, bustling markets, luxury boutiques, and waterfront restaurants. Beyond the glamour, Sanremo also preserves a historic soul in its medieval district, “La Pigna,” with narrow alleys and charming local eateries. The surrounding area is filled with natural beauty—olive groves, botanical gardens, and panoramic terraces overlooking the sea—all contributing to a lifestyle that blends nature, culture, and understated elegance. Villa Isabella is perfectly placed within this exclusive setting, offering a refined home base for discovering the true heart of Liguria, a region where every detail reveals a story, and every view invites wonder.

SURROUNDINGS

Villa Isabella enjoys a strategic location from which to explore some of the most enchanting destinations in both Italy and nearby France. Just minutes away lies Bordighera, a favorite of writers and artists, with its century-old palm trees, Belle Époque villas, and historic center overlooking the sea. Following the coastline, you reach Ventimiglia, home to the famed Hanbury Botanical Gardens and the vibrant Friday market, a feast for the senses. A short drive further takes you across the French border to the celebrated Côte d’Azur: Menton, with its lemon groves and pastel buildings; Monte Carlo, a symbol of luxury and elegance with its iconic casino and yacht-filled port; and Nice, a lively cultural hub with a seafront promenade, art museums, and Provençal markets.

Heading inland, the landscape becomes more intimate and timeless. Dolceacqua, with its medieval bridge immortalized by Monet, Apricale, perched on a hillside, and Seborga, a curious village that claims to be a principality, offer authentic experiences and breathtaking views. Nature lovers can explore the Alpi Liguri Natural Park, where mountain trails lead through untouched villages and vistas stretching from the mountains to the sea.

For day trips, Genoa offers Italy’s largest aquarium and a historic city center full of noble palaces. A bit further afield, the iconic Cinque Terre await—five colorful cliffside villages offering a magical blend of sea, vineyards, and timeless beauty.
