Description
Villa Amica, Charles Garnier, Bordighera.
Villa Amica, Charles Garnier, Bordighera. Bordighera is an Italian municipality in the province of Imperia in Liguria. Bordighera is located on the western coast of the Riviera di Ponente, at the foot of the Maritime Alps on Cape Sant'Ampelio, the southernmost point of the Liguria region and northern Italy. The mountains overlooking the sea, when northerly winds blow (a phenomenon that occurs during the winter), create a foehn effect, making the cold season very mild. During the summer, cool, brisk sea breezes mitigate the heat, which, however, is rarely excessive. During the Belle Époque, Bordighera hosted one of the greatest French architects, Jean-Louis-Charles Garnier (Paris, November 6, 1825 – Paris, August 3, 1898). Villa Garnier is a holiday and tourist accommodation facility. This villa, and Villa Amica, one of the secondary residences, are among the properties protected by the Superintendence for Architectural and Landscape Heritage of Liguria. In 1878, Villa Amica was temporarily used as a school, and the land had been owned by the illustrious French architect since 1883. The villa's interior layout (now divided into two apartments) comprises an entrance hall on the ground floor, a large living room with a kitchen and a bathroom with a window, a double hallway, and a double storage room. Off the living room is a large patio furnished for relaxing outside the house. On the raised ground floor, accessible via a convenient internal slate staircase, as are all the floors below, is a living room/study with a fireplace, a bathroom, and two bedrooms. A guest bedroom and bathroom also feature. The first floor includes a large living room with a fireplace, two bedrooms, a kitchen, a hallway, and a bathroom. The expansive roof terrace, accessible via a wrought-iron spiral staircase, offers direct views of the sea and the gulf, all the way to Monte Carlo. Three balconies. Internal surface area of approximately 300 square meters. Splendid terraced garden covering 3,500 square meters, beautifully landscaped. The swimming pool is an integral part of the garden. Guest apartment with kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom. Another available room is present. One private parking space. Unparalleled location just steps from the Port of Bordighera and the future new Port, with several pedestrian accesses to the villa and also direct access from the Aurelia road. Enchanting panoramic view. Absolute privacy and security guaranteed by its non-isolated location. Villa Amica is considered a rare property in the Ligurian and Italian market, due to its original ownership (Charles Garnier), its construction features, and its location that confer an absolutely prestigious standing.
