Property description
Rising majestically over the rooftops of the charming medieval village Perinaldo in Liguria’s hinterland, this unusual property occupies a majestic spot. Once part of a fortress and lovingly renovated with much attention to detail it combines history with contemporary living comfort. To this day the traces of the past can be spotted in its vaulted cellar rooms.
With a living space of 385 m2 split over five floor levels, the house offers plenty of opportunities for various design concepts. The approx. 190 m2 panoramic terrace opens stunning views over the majestic Maritime Alps, and the sea shimmering on the horizon.
The property comes with a number of vaulted cellars and a rustic Taverna coming to 120 m2 in total dimensions.
