Villa for sale in Rapallo, Italy

BHHS Palazzo Estate offers exclusively for sale one of the most beautiful properties in the Liberty style, Villa Tawasentha, located in one of the most sought-after corners of the Ligurian coast. A property with a breathtaking view that stretches from Rapallo to the Gulf of Portofino, it offers an open and captivating view of the sea, where blue waves play with the sun's rays. Imagine a place where elegance meets history, and every glance at the sea makes your heart beat faster. It's not just a villa; it's a treasure embodied in the Liberty style. The villa was built by the well-known American composer Bernard Herrmann between 1900 and 1905, with love and meticulous attention to every detail. Every detail of this house speaks of taste and sophistication. From the exquisite stained-glass to the unique carved elements of the facade, every corner of the property is filled with history and beauty. The villa hosted singers from overseas, who came to Italy for performances and studies in opera singing. A postcard, also available on the Internet, from local sources dates back to the period between 1905 and 1907. The Ronchi family, through Comm. Carlo Ronchi, purchased the Villa in 1960 and undertook restoration work on a project dated March 1, 1960. The interventions concerned all floors of the Villa and the arrangement of the garden, aimed at preserving the ancient trees, including some exotic ones. The Ronchi heirs reported that at their purchase, the Villa was not entirely used as a residence but was partly utilized as a small hotel. It remained the property of the Ronchis until 2008 and was sold to the current owner, who carried out significant restoration work, including the overhaul and compliance of all systems. Here, time seems to stop, allowing you to enjoy the moment in a well-kept and shaded garden or on the wide terraces of the villa, where the scents of flowering plants mix with the sea breeze, creating an atmosphere of relaxed elegance and tranquility. The villa is surrounded by a beautiful, well-maintained, and fragrant park of 2750 sqm, with magnificent ancient trees and fragrant plants. A swimming pool can be realized within the park. The property also includes a 50-square-meter residence with a large garage for multiple cars. The villa has a surface area of 1300 sq m and is spread over 5 levels, including the attic and the lowest floor. The villa has everything necessary for a cozy, beautiful, and sweet life. It features a spacious and bright living area with a main entrance, a double living room with a fireplace, a dining room and lounge, a kitchen, and a bathroom. The sleeping area consists of 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, a dressing room, and a study. The magnificent terraces offer space for outdoor relaxation. The villa also includes a guest floor with a kitchen, cellar, dining room, SPA area, bedroom, and large bathroom.

Living here, every day will begin with the delightful spectacle of dawn, gently awakening the gulf, and nights will be filled with the magic of the twinkling lights of Portofino.
