arabesco

Nestled between Rapallo and Portofino, overlooking the sparkling waters of the Gulf of Tigullio, Arabesco is an exclusive private holiday villa available for weekly rental in Liguria, Italy. Built in 1928, this magnificent villa is a celebration of Art Deco timeless elegance. Perched dramatically on a cliff above the sea, Arabesco reinterprets the timeless tradition of the Italian seaside retreat, embracing understated luxury in a setting where nature and the Mediterranean are always close at hand. Arranged across multiple levels and surrounded by fragrant gardens, the villa masterfully blends historic character with contemporary comfort. Original floors and architectural details have been carefully preserved, maintaining the property's authentic charm and unique sense of place. Arabesco features five beautifully appointed bedrooms, each with an en suite bathroom. Bright and welcoming, every room is distinguished by its individual design and breathtaking views of the sea, gardens, or coastline. An infinity heated pool gazes out over the azure waters of the Ligurian Sea and is set within the enchanting Giardino di Camillo, a Mediterranean garden perfumed with citrus blossoms, lavender, rosemary, and aromatic herbs. A large dining table shaded by centuries-old wisteria sets the scene for convivial meals, while secluded terraces and intimate corners offer spaces for relaxation. Rich in history and framed by some of Italy’s most spectacular scenery, the Ligurian coast offers endless opportunities for exploration. From the timeless beauty of Portofino to the dramatic landscapes of the Cinque Terre and the vibrant cultural heritage of Genoa and Portofino, this coastline has inspired poets, romantics, aristocrats, and Grand Tour travellers for centuries.
Villa Arabesco is more than a destination, it is an invitation to experience the enduring elegance, beauty, and dolce vita of the Italian Riviera.
