Sanremo, Liguria 18038

In 1972, artist Constantin Polastri bought a country house in Sanremo, driven by the desire to rediscover his Italian roots. Inspired by the light of the Riviera and the Cte d'Azur, he transformed the house into a late nineteenth-century style villa, thanks also to the help of friends and family who collaborated in exchange for hospitality or painting lessons. Thus was born Villa d'Artisti, a refuge designed to welcome artists and people in search of peace, creativity and regeneration.Charming villa for sale in Sanremo, surrounded by green hills with breathtaking views of the sea and just a few minutes from the city center. It is a one-of-a-kind residence, full of history and charm, known as Villa d'Artisti. Built in the 40s and purchased in 1971 by the Swiss painter Constantin Polastri, the villa has been transformed into a timeless artistic retreat, where nature meets art and architecture blends harmoniously with the Ligurian landscape. The entire property is surrounded by a land of 1.4 hectares, partly cultivated and partly dedicated to a terraced botanical garden, created with care and passion by Polastri himself and subsequently enriched by his daughter with rare and native species. The garden, a true Mediterranean paradise, is home to subtropical plants, aromatic herbs, bushes typical of the Ligurian scrub, a pond with goldfish, a shaded pergola and a large wooden platform overlooking the seascape, offering a variety of private and suggestive corners.The villa is spread over two floors and houses four independent residential units, each with a private entrance and accessible outdoor spaces.
