Commissioned in 1912 by entrepreneur Attilio Odero and designed by renowned Tuscan architect Gino Coppedè, this remarkable villa was conceived as a grand summer residence overlooking the Ligurian Riviera. Set on a spectacular promontory above Punta Caiega on the Gulf of Portofino, the property enjoys sweeping views of the sea and surrounding coastline—one of the most extraordinary settings in the region.
The villa has been thoughtfully restored by celebrated architect Martin Brudnizki, whose interiors pay tribute to Ligurian craftsmanship while introducing a refined sense of contemporary elegance. Lush gardens designed by leading landscape architect Marco Bay further enhance the property, creating a serene setting that feels both historic and timeless.
Available exclusively for private use, the estate offers rare access to one of the most prestigious corners of the Portofino promontory. The main villa features four elegant suites, complemented by a separate stone guesthouse, La Casetta. Guests can enjoy generous living and dining spaces, terraces with panoramic views, a private garden pool, rooftop terrace in the Torretta, gym, outdoor wellness pavilion, and direct access to the sea—creating a truly exceptional coastal retreat.
