Villa Spenser - Cinque Terre, Sea View, Pool, A/C

Historic exclusive liberty style villa - with sea and mountain views, pool, A/C, for up to 8 (+) guests

The unique hillside location within a spacious 10000 m2 fenced garden, with spectacular all-round views of the Apuan Alps and the Ligurian Sea over the famous Golfo dei Poeti, is making VILLA SPENSER perhaps the finest vacation rental with Pool next to the Cinque Terre National Park.
This classified liberty villa was designed by the renowned architect Franco Olivo in 1910 and was the summer residence of the famous writer Anna Emilia "Annie" Vivanti Chartres. It offers an incomparable ambience of privacy and class. It was extensively restored in 2022. 

The Portico, with antique ceiling paintings, representing the 3 boats of Christopher Columbus, the Niña, Pinta and Santa Maria, is incomparable.

The villa's interior defies description. It was designed, decorated, and furnished with consummate elegance and taste, evoking classic, Old World charm and enhanced by the finest modern amenities. The kitchen designed by DEVOL Leicestershire, is fully equipped with chef-grade appliances, and a private cook can be arranged upon request.
The villa's five bedrooms are likewise exquisite. Each has its own, unique charm, with high 3.80 m ceilings, large windows, and beautiful views.

The immediate vicinity of many good restaurants, serving authentic Ligurian cuisine, makes the difference between this location and others. You don’t need to use your car every evening and hassle with parking spaces. A small grocery shop is just 3 walking minutes away.
It is a great base for exploring the world-famous Cinque Terre National Park as well as the romantic Golfo dei Poeti.
