Historic Residence Of Exceptional Beauty And Prestige

One of the Great Historic Residences of the Italian Riviera
In the heart of the Riviera dei Fiori, just a short walk from the sea and the renowned cycling and pedestrian promenade that runs along the Mediterranean coast, Villa Marie José is one of the most captivating historic residences in Liguria.
Designed at the end of the nineteenth century by the renowned architect Pio Soli — creator of some of the Riviera’s most iconic villas — the property is a magnificent example of French-inspired Art Nouveau architecture. Its elegant mansard roofs, refined decorative elements, and harmonious proportions reflect the quality of a project conceived for an international clientele who chose the Riviera as a privileged destination for leisure and social representation.
With approximately 2,000 square metres of interior space, Villa Marie José offers volumes of a scale rarely found in contemporary properties. Its reception rooms, numerous bedrooms, and extensive service areas make it possible to envision an exceptionally prestigious private residence, a representative estate, or a property dedicated to luxury hospitality.
The villa enjoys enchanting sea views and is set within an important private park that guarantees privacy and tranquillity while remaining in one of the city’s most sought-after locations.
The property is served by an elevator and includes an entire lower-ground floor dedicated to service functions. This level accommodates a large kitchen, laundry facilities, technical rooms, spaces that may be transformed into a private fitness or wellness area, and numerous rooms intended for staff, guests, or additional ancillary uses according to the future owner’s requirements.
Villa Marie José currently requires a significant programme of restoration and enhancement. This presents an opportunity to bring Pio Soli’s original vision back to life, restoring the prestige and elegance that made the property one of the Riviera’s most distinguished historic residences.
More than a simple real estate acquisition, this property offers the opportunity to become the custodian of a unique architectural heritage and guide it into a new era of splendour.
A truly unique residence, ready to begin a new chapter in its history.
