Details

Enjoying breathtaking sea views and private access to the beach, is this fabulous 3 storey, 9 bedroom luxury villa immersed in over 5.5 acres of glorious landscaped gardens and expansive pool, located in a private area near all amenities in the heart of Sestri Levante, Genoa.

It was renamed as "the city of the two seas" by the well-known fairytale writer Andersen on the occasion of his stay in 1833. Sestri owes this name to its unique town centre, a strip of land that stretches over the sea, dividing it into two beautiful bays, that of Silence and that of Fables, with colourful houses facing the beach.

This wonderful property overlooking the Gulf of Tigullio, is situated on the most extreme point of this promontory that rises in the middle of the sea, being in an exclusive water-front position. An enchanting path in the most luxuriant Mediterranean vegetation descends to the rocks, where there is a charming private pier with a sunbathing area and exclusive access to the sea. In front of it, only the immensity of the sea, which seems to know no limits.

Always used as the summer home by a famous Italian publisher, this house is surrounded by a luxuriant park of 23,000m2, featuring an extraordinary immense variety of plants that give the pool with a sunbathing area perfect privacy.

Internally, this three-storey villa features a fully fitted and equipped kitchen and spacious, bright and comfortable living and dining rooms, all united by the magnificent view that opens onto the sea from big panoramic windows. In its 1,100m2 of surface there are nine bedrooms and six bathrooms, ideal for hosting large groups of friends.

A big parking area completes this luxurious home with private access to the sea, immersed in the tranquility of unspoiled nature in the charming Sestri Levante.

Italy Property Buying Guide

1. Making the Offer to Purchase (Offerta)

Once you have found the property you wish to purchase you will start the process by making a formal offer to the vendor, the estate agent will act on your behalf and put forward the offer, a deposit will be made available, generally around (10,000 - 20,000 EUR). Once the vendor has accepted the offer it will be formalised in writing to the vendor in both English and Italian. If this is accepted the deposit (Caparra Confirmatoria) will be paid to the vendor. This will form a legally binding contract. Neither party may withdraw at this point, the sale can be forced by either party or a claim for damages can be made. If the purchaser withdraws their deposit will be lost, if the vendor withdraws the purchaser can claim twice the deposit in compensation.

2. Signing the Preliminary Contract (Compromesso or Contratto preliminare)

The next step will take place between 1 and 3 months after the offer has been accepted, this is a formal agreement between the vendor and purchaser to sell and buy the property, this agreement is the Preliminary Contract and will contain the conditions and terms of the sale. It is important at this stage that you have a full understanding of all the details contained in the contract. We would strongly recommend that you appoint a Notary who is fluent in English. This document will include the purchase price, a detailed description of the property including completion date and will cover any obligations placed upon the buyer and the vendor. All information relating to the property including any planning permissions for the property and the cadastral details (a public record, survey, or map of the value, extent, and ownership of land as a basis of taxation). Once the Preliminary Contract (Contratto preliminare) has been signed a further deposit (Caparra Confirmatoria) will be paid, this will generally be 10% - 20% of the purchase price. There will also be an estate agents Commission Fee (Provvigione) which will need to be paid at this point.

3. Signing the Final Deed of Sale (Rogito or Atto Notarile)

The purchaser must have a bank account in order to make the purchase on completion. The signing of the final deed of sale which will authorise the transfer of the property must be overseen by a Notary (Notaio). The buyer will select and hire the Notary, but they are members of an independent body of public/professionals who will draft the purchase deed, they will oversee the passing of the title legally from the vendor to the purchaser. The Notary will also verify the legality of the documentation and registration with the Conservatoria dei Registri Immobiliari and the Local Land Register.

4. Formalities to be observed after Completion

Foreign buyers should obtain a certified copy of the Purchase Deed (Rogito), which the Notary will have lodged with the authorities. Generally this will be available to collect around 2 – 3 weeks after completion. The Notary will also give you a form to complete for the the local authority (Questura) who will have been given formal notice of the purchase. Your Notary will help you to complete this form. You will need to contact the utilities companies to set up new contracts (power, water, telephone, gas etc.). If the property is a flat, the condominium manager (Amministratore del condominio) should be informed of change of ownership of the property.
