Ten minutes from the center of Bordighera and five minutes from the highway exit, we offer for sale a charming property comprising a 150 m2 villa-newly built in 2006-with a garden, two covered parking spaces, plus scooter parking, and a 1,356 m2 plot of flat land planted with an olive grove. The villa, in true Provençal style with Virginia creeper on the façade as a deterrent for animals, is spread over three floors: the ground floor entrance leads directly into the living room with fireplace and open-plan kitchen, a bathroom, and a staircase leading to the second floor, which contains a study, a bathroom, and the master bedroom with a dressing room. The internal staircase also leads to the third floor, which contains two bedrooms and a bathroom. The materials used are exquisite, with all windows and doors made of wood, double-glazed, and all equipped with mosquito nets. Underfloor heating is gas-fired throughout, as is the hot water supply. The house is equipped with an alarm system and video cameras. The outdoor space has been meticulously designed down to the smallest detail: the courtyard is made of Lecce stone, the ground walls are made of typical Ligurian stone, the rainwater collection channels are lined with small stones, the walkways are made of porphyry cubes laid in a mosaic pattern, the garden is equipped with an irrigation system and is planted with fruit trees, flowers, and Mediterranean herbs, the greenery is perfect, and the scattered wooden benches create a magically relaxing atmosphere.
