Prestigious 16th Century Historic Residence With Garden

In the heart of the ancient medieval village of Velva, in the municipality of Castiglione Chiavarese, we offer this rare and fascinating historic residence dating back to the 16th century, formerly owned by the noble Del Re family. A property of exceptional charm and character, immersed in the peace and greenery of Liguria’s hinterland, approximately 25 minutes by car from Sestri Levante and the sea.

The residence still preserves all the authenticity of its history, with original period floors, marble and slate, as well as numerous architectural details and period finishes that make every room unique and recount over five centuries of history. The property is currently divided into two independent apartments, with the possibility of connecting them internally to recreate one large residence.

Overall, it offers 6 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms, with generous spaces and an especially versatile layout, suitable both as a prestigious private home and for a potential boutique hospitality project. The main apartment is enhanced by two large panoramic terraces—authentic outdoor living rooms surrounded by lush vegetation and overlooking the greenery and surrounding mountains. From the first-floor terrace, the view extends all the way to the sea, creating a truly captivating setting.

The very spacious, habitable kitchen retains the welcoming character of historic family homes and also features a working pizza oven, perfect for convivial gatherings. Outside, a splendid private garden of approximately 450 sq m extends across the property, partly landscaped and partly planted with numerous fruit trees and olive trees. This secluded and evocative green space is immersed in nature and also offers the possibility of building a swimming pool.

Adjacent to the main residence is a small, fully renovated annex with a bathroom. Its restoration has preserved numerous original details, creating an independent and versatile space, ideal for accommodating guests, setting up a study or creating a private area separate from the main residence.

The cellars, located on the lower-ground floor of the house, complete the property’s ancillary spaces. The residence is also equipped with photovoltaic panels for electricity generation, a contemporary feature perfectly integrated into a property with centuries of history.

The offering is completed by two private parking spaces located just a few steps from the house—an especially valuable convenience given its position in the heart of a historic village.

A truly exceptional property, ideal for those wishing to experience the authenticity of a Ligurian medieval village without sacrificing generous spaces, privacy, nature and proximity to the coast: a residence where the history of the Del Re family, the charm of the 16th century, terraces overlooking the landscape, the Mediterranean garden and views reaching all the way to the sea create a truly unique atmosphere.
