Historical Notes

Nestled in the hills behind Chiavari, the property features a charming historic core dating back to 1478, the year in which the ancient watchtower was built at the behest of Captain Giacomo Solari to defend the territory from Saracen raids on behalf of the Republic of Genoa.
Having passed through private hands over time, the property now consists of three independent structures: the prestigious historic villa, the charming medieval tower, and a traditional rustic cottage. The entire estate is set within an exceptional landscape, surrounded by a park with centuries-old olive trees and offering a spectacular view of the Tigullio Sea. A unique residence that combines history, privacy, and Ligurian beauty.
