Villa Zanelli, free-standing building in Art Nouveau style, built at the beginning of the 20th century by engineer Pietro Fenoglio, is located in the semi-central area of Savona, near the coast. Due to its historical-architectural value the building, surrounded by a historic park with an appurtenant annex, is subject to restrictions by the Italian Department of Artistic and Architectural Heritage of the province of Savona.
The villa is divided into three aboveground floors, plus the panoramic tower, which rises to another two levels, with an annex developed on three floors above ground. The main building, intended as a tourist accommodation facility, is divided as follows:
The annex serving the accommodation facility is distributed as follows: ground floor, with two storage rooms and a distribution hall to reach the upper floors; first floor: two apartments with relative mezzanine.
The new intended use includes the following functions: 220 sqm museum space – 180 sqm restaurant – Hotel with 11 suites and rooms – 150 sqm panoramic terrace and appurtenant beach.
The property, which directly overlooks the beach, is entirely fenced and immersed in a historic park of over 7,800 sqm. The property, recently renovated, is in excellent maintenance conditions.
The Villa is located in the semi-central area of Savona, along Via Nizza, the main coastal road that winds westwards from Savona. The property overlooks one of the largest and most easily accessible fine white sand beaches in the city. Nearby are the beaches of Bergeggi, the municipality of Albissola, known for its ceramics, and that of Celle Ligure, a typical coastal village in the area. The historic centre of the city (Piazza del Duomo) and the train station are 3.5 km away from the property; from the station one can easily reach the cities of Bologna, Genoa, Milan and Turin. The city’s passenger port and the “Savona” A-10 motorway exit are both 3.5 km from the property. The property is 48 km away from Genoa’s “Cristoforo Colombo” international airport.
