UNIQUE LIFESTYLE MEETS BEST VALUE

In an authentic village setting, taken straight from an Italian picture book and in a uniquely scenic, but very central location in the never ending spring of the Riviera of Flowers, only 10 km/6 mi from the sea and 75 km/46 mi away from nice international airport lies a charming domicile which is eminently suitable for lovers of fine art and exclusive Mediterranean décor. Just by the way it´s an outstanding financial investment that was recently recommended by German’s leading business magazine ‘Capital’ .               

The historic 17th century house has been lovingly restored by an internationally acclaimed artist and an experienced German property developer. Their aim was to create a “house of art”, well off the tourist trail while still easily accessible from anywhere in Europe. It fuses the authentic spirits of the medieval walls, Italian lifestyle, contemporary living comfort, the natural setting of the “Monti e Mare – Mountains and the Sea” and art as a living environment. The property was completed in 2007 and has been occupied by the original creators since then.

Look forward to discovering this unique 193m²/2075 sq. ft. bi-level living experience with timeless design and a unique ambience. Enjoy the incomparably mild and sunny microclimate of the Riviera of Flowers, breathtaking views, overwhelming silence; direct access to unspoilt nature and the sea  with some of the very few beautiful sand beaches on the Costa Ponente nearby. Discover one of the most attractive properties in the region and unique lifestyle together with superior returns and value enhancement. The sale is being made directly by the owners and will be without sales commission.  Welcome to Project  montalto21…
