The house

Built into the hillside, not on top of it

Villa Dolce & Azzurra sits among old olive trees on the Solva hillside, about 300 m above the sea. Local stone, natural oak and wide sheets of glass, all on one level. It was completed in 2026.

“The house was never meant to stand out from the hillside, only to become part of it.”

    Coffee on the patio

    Breakfast is laid on the long table under the pergola. Below, the bay is still flat and quiet.

    Afternoon

    The pool and the horizon

    The infinity pool runs out towards the sea. A safety cover hides in the deck when it is not in use.

    Evening

    Dinner under the pergola

    The outdoor kitchen is a few steps from the table. As the sun drops behind the cape, the lights of Alassio come on below.

Alassio

Ten minutes to the beach and the Budello

Below the villa lie three kilometres of fine sand, the old lanes of the Budello and the Muretto. Gallinara Island is a short boat trip away, and the hill trails start from the villa.
