6 bedrooms palace, 410 m²

Pieve di Teco, Imperia (province)

The Palazzo Nobile is located in the historic center of the charming Ligurian village of Pieve di Teco on the Western Italian Riviera. The Palazzo benefits from a quiet and sunny location and can be accessed directly by car; parking is available in the immediate vicinity. Many international families have chosen Pieve di Teco and the surrounding villages as their primary or secondary residence. The village has an excellent infrastructure. The coastal towns of Albenga and Imperia as well as the beaches of the Mediterranean Sea can be reached in just 20 – 30 minutes by car. The airports of Nice (France) and Genoa (Italy) are approx. 1.5 hours’ drive away.
The historic Palazzo Nobile was built in the 16th century by experienced master builders and craftsmen for a very wealthy local family (not olive farmers!). The building displays many impressive architectural features from this period, such as cross or barrel vaulted ceilings in all rooms and a unique atrium courtyard. The total surface measures approx. 410 sqm split over 3 floors offering great potential for a variety of uses. The Palazzo could be divided into 4 to 6 flats for Airbnb rentals, a center where to hold seminars or workshops, studio and exhibition for artists or a flat shared between groups of friends and/or an extended family.
Unusually for Pieve di Teco this palazzo has not been significantly altered in the 500 years since it was built and lived in. Over the centuries, most of the buildings in the village have been altered, remodeled and adapted to the size of families and changing requirements. After a long period of vacancy, there was a considerable backlog of repair and maintenance work. A team of architects and construction engineers experienced in the restoration of historic buildings in Liguria/Italy came up with a redevelopment concept for the entire estate which was carried out in several construction phases.
The first milestone comprised the basic refurbishment of the building, the renewal of all roofs, the removal of non-original conversions and the connection to the local mains. This phase was completed in spring 2023. The second milestone was the renovation, plastering, painting and decoration of the street façade as well as the installation of Ligurian shutters, traditional slate window sills, slate skirt and a new entrance modelled on a historical door in Pieve di Teco. This part of the refurbishment was carried out in collaboration with the local heritage protection authority. An experienced multilingual team can assist you to design YOUR customized Italian Palazzo. Specialized planners, project managers, local craftsmen and suppliers are available to the buyer for the planning, execution and permissions of the work for the final phase of the project.
The Palazzo Nobile is a unique property full of charm and character, waiting to reflect the individual style and utilization concept of a potential new owner. Perfect for someone who loves Italy and the Italian Riviera, appreciates the unique heritage of Ligurian architecture and likes to create a very special living space. This is a unique and rare opportunity to create your bespoke Mediterranean living and working space in a Ligurian Palazzo located in one of the most pleasant climates in Europe. The necessary investment and revitalisation of the Palazzo Nobile is an excellent opportunity to turn your own idea of Mediterranean living and working into reality in a remarkable historical architectural environment and for a very reasonable investment. An offer not to be missed.
