Introducing Villa King: The Crown Jewel of the Italian Riviera
Nestled at the heart of San Remo, just 30 minutes from the French border and a mere 40-minute drive from the opulence of Monaco, Villa King stands as an unparalleled masterpiece. Gracing the sought-after Italian Riviera, this majestic villa is a timeless embodiment of early 20th century architectural grandeur.
San Remo, Liguria, Italy, proudly hosts Villa King, a residence that defines luxury living. This magnificent villa enjoys an enviable location between the esteemed “Villa Nobel” and the serene Villa Ormond Gardens, mere steps away from the azure sea and the charming Portosole Marina. A tranquil walking and cycling path weaves its way directly past this architectural marvel.
Originally named “Villa Spinola,” this historic gem was crafted in 1909, a wedding gift from German banker and renowned art collector, Baron Adolph Thiem, to his daughter Martha and her husband, Marquis Francesco Spinola of Genoa. Witnessing the passage of time and history, the villa evolved into an exclusive hotel in the 1930s, christened “Villa King,” a name it held until 1985. While some restoration and maintenance efforts have been undertaken, the property now beckons for a complete revitalization, although noteworthy interventions have graced the roof and basement recently.
Stepping within, the interiors meticulously preserve their original charm. The grand entrance hall boasts soaring ceilings, crowned by an imposing fireplace. Elegantly adorned rooms evoke the opulence of bygone eras, a testament to the nobility that once graced these halls.
The path forward envisions a splendid transformation, sculpted in harmony with the architectural heritage and overseen by the esteemed Arch. Micol Maiga. Embarking on a journey akin to her successful restoration of Villa Mostaccini in Bordighera and other Ligurian treasures, Villa King stands to regain its noble status as a luxurious family abode. The vision entails a resplendent living area on the noble floor, replete with an office and a library. Ascending, three master bedrooms adorned with private ensuites and expansive walk-in wardrobes await. At the pinnacle of luxury, the attic floor hosts four guest suites.
A symphony of modern amenities awaits implementation, including a cinema room, a spa, a state-of-the-art gymnasium, and a professional kitchen. Catering to comfort, a dedicated service area encompassing a laundry room and a caretaker’s apartment completes this opulent vision. Seamlessly connecting all levels, an internal lift adds a touch of modern convenience to this timeless masterpiece.
