Hidden Jewel In The Cinque Terre National Park

Arriving in the charming and picturesque village of Vernazza, located in the heart of the protected marine area of the Cinque Terre, one gets the feeling of being in one of the famous Italian films starring Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni. After walking for about ten minutes along the Sentiero Azzurro heading south – the easiest, most famous, and frequented trail in the entire region – you reach a gate that opens into the heart of the characteristic Ligurian terraced land. This is the entrance to the villa: an exclusive property, a small gem situated in the protected natural park of the Cinque Terre, built on the top of a rock that juts out towards the sea. From here, one can enjoy a breathtaking 180-degree view of the stunning Ligurian Sea and the Doria Castle of Vernazza. The main villa welcomes you via the upper floor, accessed through an elegant, automated entrance door. Here, a bright open-plan living area unfolds — featuring a spacious living room and a seamlessly integrated kitchen with refined finishes. From this central space, two terraces open outward: a side terrace, perfect for al fresco dining in a sheltered setting, and a generous main terrace offering a spectacular view extending well beyond 180° across the Ligurian Sea and toward the iconic Doria Castle of Vernazza — a natural invitation to pause and savour the surroundings. A distinctive architectural feature is the handcrafted wooden staircase with alternating treads, which connects the two levels with both functional finesse and aesthetic harmony. The lower floor is dedicated to the private quarters, comprising an elegantly appointed master bedroom, a second bedroom, and a tastefully designed bathroom finished with carefully selected materials and timeless style. Just a few steps from the villa, the property features an exclusive dépendance that offers privacy and comfort. The dépendance has an independent entrance, a bedroom, a stone-carved sink, and a panoramic shower, distinguished by a unique glass wall that opens to the outside and can also be shaded, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the beauty of the surrounding sea and hills, offering an unparalleled stay experience. The villa, curated in every detail, is an exclusive retreat in the heart of Cinque Terre natural park, where you can experience moments of relaxation and privacy. Characterized by a style that perfectly balances modern and classic elements, it features high-quality custom finishes and carefully chosen details that make this property unique. An initial design for an infinity pool with a 180° sea view can be planned, allowing you to fully enjoy the stunning view. In addition to the connection for potable water, a 2,000-liter reserve tank and a biological sewage system, which also serves as irrigation, ensure total self-sufficiency. Every installation and finish is of the highest quality, minimizing maintenance costs.
