Dolceacqua – Villa with Pool & Sea View for Sale

Perched at approx. 300 metres above sea level, with commanding views across the verdant Ligurian hills to the distant Mediterranean, “Villa Riccardo” is a property of rare distinction. Nestled just above the enchanting medieval village of Dolceacqua, this former country house was completely transformed in 2025 into a luxurious contemporary residence. The renovation was executed to the highest standards, combining timeless elegance with smart home functionality and cutting-edge design.

Set on a terraced plot of approx. 2,500 m², the property offers a breathtaking setting of tranquillity and natural beauty. A heated pool, expansive sun terrace, and thoughtfully landscaped Mediterranean garden invite outdoor living throughout the seasons. Adding further charm is a private olive grove that not only enhances the Ligurian atmosphere, but also produces the villa’s own high-quality olive oil – an exclusive touch that perfectly reflects the spirit of this estate.

The villa offers approx. 290 m² of light-filled living space over three levels. The ground floor welcomes you with a stylish entrance hall that leads into one of two elegant lounges. Wide French doors open onto a generous open-plan living space, where a bespoke designer kitchen with island, a refined dining area, and a relaxed lounge form the heart of the home. A guest WC and utility room add convenience to this level.

On the first floor, four beautifully appointed bedrooms and three luxurious bathrooms offer comfort and privacy. The principal suite features sea views, direct access to the pool terrace, and a private bathroom with freestanding tub and walk-in shower. A second double bedroom with en-suite, two single bedrooms, with two beds each and shared shower bathroom, and a separate laundry room complete this level. All rooms enjoy direct access to balconies or terraces, allowing for effortless indoor-outdoor living.

The top floor is arranged as a spacious open-plan area, currently used as a combined living and working zone, with two open sleeping areas and a further shower room. This flexible space is ideal for use as a guest suite, gym, studio, or creative retreat.

The 2025 renovation included a complete reconfiguration of the interiors and a high-specification fit-out throughout: underfloor heating, ducted air conditioning, integrated smart-home technology, programmable lighting, made-to-measure furnishings, designer kitchen and bathrooms, and a comprehensive security system.

Dolceacqua is considered one of the most picturesque and culturally vibrant villages in the Ligurian hinterland. It offers excellent amenities, including restaurants, cafés, artisan shops, banks, a school, postal services and medical care – all within a few minutes’ drive from the property. Surrounded by vineyards, olive groves and a network of walking trails, the area is a haven for lovers of nature, food, and understated elegance.

“Villa Riccardo” also boasts an exceptional strategic location: the French border, Bordighera, and Ventimiglia – with its newly developed, state-of-the-art marina – are just 25 minutes away; Sanremo is under 50 minutes; and Monaco is easily reachable within the hour. The international airport of Nice is also just over an hour’s drive -making this a highly desirable address for second-home buyers, international visitors, or remote professionals seeking peace without compromise on connectivity.

“Villa Riccardo” is not just a home – it is a lifestyle investment, blending privacy, beauty, and Mediterranean charm in one of the most coveted corners of Europe.
