Villa Altachiara is an exceptional home situated on the Promontory above Portofino, a stunning panoramic spots on the Tigullio Gulf.
The villa, one of the loveliest oasi of charm in the world, belonged to the late rich countess Francesca Vacca Agusta.
Surrounded on three sides by the beautiful Mediterranean Sea, Villa Altachiara perfumes by pine resin mingled with the aroma of the salt sea, flanked by the imperious wild beauty of the waves and the cliffs.
It’s a Victorian-style villa built by Henry Herbert, Fourth Earl of Carnavon, in the late 1800s.
Villa Altachiara has very elegant Victorian interiors, perfectly restored. Built on three floor, the 1,00 sq.m. home features 30 spacious rooms, all filled with light and graced with magnificent views of the open sea.
“Della Spiga immobili di pregio”, an Italian agency, is managing the sale negotiation.
This is a bit 2old 4 me… But the place is perfect!
This most beautiful of houses was once graced by the presence of Avatar Meher Baba for a month in the early 30’s.
I have seen so many pictures of this house from Meher Baba’s stay. Years ago I talked with several of the folk who accompanied Baba then. I’d buy it myself if I could.
Portofino is one of the most beautiful places on the planet. The hiking is spectacular!
The (new) owners will soon agree - and with the added bonus of Avatar Meher Baba having once stayed here, surely you have found heaven on earth - congratulations!
Might there be enough interest in the world wide Meher Baba community to purchase this treasure. Eruch told me many years ago that Beloved Baba hinted that places connected with Him should be preserved.
