Magnificent Independent Property Facing the Sea

The villa is one of the few private properties in Italy whose perimeter walls extend to the sea. In 1917, the Count of Sant'Elia obtained this specific concession from the Admiralty and the Municipality.

Until the 1960s, it was owned by Francesco Arborio Mella, the fifth Count of Sant'Elia. Over time, it became a meeting place for prominent personalities, where European politicians made deals, the playwright Samuel Beckett wrote and Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, the author of 'The Little Prince', visited it. It was a regular haunt of Romanov princesses and Italian royalty, who enjoyed the sea in summer and went hunting in winter.
