Set on a hillside overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, just above the charming coastal town of Moneglia, this exceptional semi-detached villa offers a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful property in one of the most beautiful locations along the Ligurian Riviera.

Standing on a private plot of approximately 4,039 m², the villa offers approximately 246 m² of living space, distributed over five levels and comprising three independent residential units. Its elevated position guarantees breathtaking panoramic views over the sea, the surrounding hills and the unspoilt Mediterranean landscape.

Endless possibilities

The villa is fully habitable in its current condition and can be enjoyed immediately as a private residence or holiday home. At the same time, it offers excellent opportunities for modernisation, allowing future owners to create a contemporary home while preserving its authentic character.

To help illustrate the property’s potential, the current owners commissioned Atelier Revers to create a series of architectural visualisations. These artistic impressions demonstrate how the villa could be transformed into a stunning contemporary residence.

Please note that these renderings are intended purely as inspiration. No renovation plans have been submitted or approved by the local authorities, and the final design remains entirely at the discretion of the future owner. Should you wish to renovate the property, we would be pleased to introduce you to Atelier Revers architects and professionals who can assist throughout the process.

The asking price is exclusive of any future renovation costs.

There is also the possibility that the adjoining half of the villa may become available for purchase in the future, creating a unique opportunity to acquire the entire property.

About Moneglia

Moneglia is one of the best-kept secrets of the Ligurian coast. Situated between Sestri Levante and the Cinque Terre, it combines an authentic Italian atmosphere with a stunning coastline, without the hustle and bustle of the better-known seaside resorts. Moneglia is becoming an increasingly attractive destination for foreign second-home buyers.

History

Moneglia’s history dates back to Roman times. Thanks to its sheltered bay, it developed into an important fishing and trading village. During the Middle Ages, it fell within the sphere of influence of the Republic of Genoa, which had various defensive towers and castles built along the coast to protect itself against pirates.

The historic towers, churches and colourful houses still serve as a reminder of this rich past. The compact historic centre has retained its authentic character, with narrow streets, charming squares and traditional Ligurian architecture.

Tourism

Moneglia is popular with Italian holidaymakers, but is also attracting increasing numbers of visitors from the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland and France.

The village offers:

• a wide sandy and pebbly beach, which is relatively rare in Liguria;
• a charming promenade with restaurants and cafés;
• excellent walking routes along the coast and through the hills;
• a direct train link to the Cinque Terre, Sestri Levante, Genoa and La Spezia;
• a relaxed atmosphere free from mass tourism.

Precisely because Moneglia is less well-known than Portofino or the Cinque Terre, many visitors find it more authentic and peaceful.

Attractive for second-home buyers

For international buyers, Moneglia offers several advantages:

• an attractive coastal location;
• a lively village with amenities open all year round;
• good accessibility by car and train;
• excellent rental potential during the summer season;
• a relatively limited supply of properties, keeping the market stable.

Many buyers choose Moneglia because they are seeking the charm of the Italian Riviera but do not wish to stay in the midst of the tourist hustle and bustle.

Accessibility

Moneglia is strategically situated on the eastern Ligurian coast.

Distances:

• Sestri Levante: approx. 10 minutes
• Cinque Terre: approx. 25–40 minutes by train
• Genoa: approx. 1 hour
• Pisa International Airport: approx. 1 hour and 30 minutes
• Milan: approx. 2 hours and 30 minutes

Thanks to the rail link, a car is not always necessary for trips along the coast.

Investment

Moneglia is attractive to investors due to:

• a long summer season;
• growing international interest;
• strong demand for holiday rentals;
• limited opportunities for new-build development due to its location between the sea and the hills.

As a result, supply remains relatively scarce, which supports long-term value growth.

Who is it for?

Moneglia is particularly suitable for:

• buyers of a second home;
• families wishing to stay close to the beach;
• those seeking peace and quiet;
• lovers of walking, cycling and water sports;
• investors in high-quality holiday rentals.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a villa with outstanding sea views, generous living space and exceptional potential in one of the Italian Riviera’s most authentic and desirable coastal locations.
