Alassio
Liguria
Imagine owning a piece of history.
Located on the beautiful Ligurian coast, this prestigious residence uniquely combines history and exclusivity.
This extraordinary property, originally built by the Romans in the 2nd century BC and later enlarged by the first Christians, originally served as a church. Today, deconsecrated and rich in historical significance, it is an important place of pilgrimage along the famous Roman road from Alassio to Albenga.
Classified as Italian heritage and even having its own Wikipedia page, the residence offers a rare opportunity to experience the essence of Italian grandeur in a setting full of history.
Located on Via Julia Augusta, the property enjoys a unique position with breathtaking views of the port of ALASSIO and the crystal-clear sea of the Ligurian coast.
With an interior area of 300 m² and a 35 m² terrace with sea view, the church offers plenty of possibilities for individual design. The entrance leads through a private garden to the former religious part of the building. On the ground floor, an impressive hall of 60 m² unfolds, with impressive exposed rock features and original stone floors. Here, history blends with modern comfort and transports you to times gone by.
You reach the upper floor via a unique stone staircase carved into the rock. This allows for three light-flooded bedrooms - two of them with sea views - as well as three bathrooms, an open kitchen and a living room. From the living room and MASTER bedroom, there is access to the beautiful terrace, which offers spectacular views of the harbour and ALASSIO's iconic 'Hollywood' sign.
The exterior of the historic building has been expertly restored and preserved in its original splendour. Electrical and plumbing systems have already been brought to the property.
The surrounding grounds cover a whopping 115,000 m² and include three other ruins, each with 40 m² of living space, springs with clear water, olive groves and ample parking for guests.
This property offers not only an exceptional home in a historic setting, but also the opportunity to be part of a unique cultural heritage. Extension of the swimming pool is possible. The completion cost, depending on the construction standard, is around €500,000.
