Alassio, Savona, Liguria, Italy

In the beautiful setting of the heart of the gut of Alassio, in a quiet street flooded with light, on the first floor of a typical Ligurian building, the flat is the result of a recent conservative restoration that has led to a harmonious and elegant result. The spacious entrance hall highlights the splendour of the marvellous frescoed ceilings and the wooden floor which gives light and a pleasant feeling of warm welcome. The spacious living room combines the aesthetic aspects with the needs and comforts of modern life, in a skilful reference to the historicity of the past in every detail. The dining room, overlooking one of the most characteristic carrugi of Alassio, is quiet and discreet and can also be used as a lounge or relaxation area; completing this zone there is a comfortable bathroom. Continuing to the right, a small hallway leads to the sleeping area, in which we find a first bedroom with a French-style double bed and a made-to-measure wardrobe. Climbing a removable ladder, a strategic mezzanine storage room becomes a precious space in which to stow anything you wish to hide from view. A second double bedroom and a bathroom complete the floor. All the rooms are air-conditioned thanks to an air-conditioning system from the Art Cool line, which embellishes each room with a design 'split/square'. An important design element of the flat is the glass staircase that leads from the living room to the real magic of the house: the terrace above, a precious point of opening onto the outdoors, a meeting place that can be widely enjoyed, also thanks to the installation of a practical kitchen equipped with a hob and sink and a large latest-generation gas barbecue; guaranteeing privacy and confidentiality is a bioclimatic pergola that allows convivial evenings with family and friends, protected from prying eyes. To enrich this space, a service/laundry room, a further asset of this marvellous property that, in its unique ensemble, combines practicality, elegance and a touch of history in a modern key.
