Italy: Alassio seafront, 137 m² (net floor space) with views of the pier and Gallinara – former Teatro della Fenice

There are homes you live in, and homes where you step into a story. This one belongs to the second kind.

The apartment is on the first floor of an 18th-century building that was once the Teatro d’Alassio, also known as the Teatro Ollandini and the Teatro della Fenice. It hosted performances and society evenings in the years when Alassio was establishing itself as an elegant destination on the Riviera di Ponente.
During the 20th century the building was converted and divided into apartments; in 2006 this unit was completely renovated, combining the charm of its 18th-century volumes with the performance of modern living. It keeps the grandeur of the original spaces: generous volumes, noble proportions and very high sail-vaulted ceilings that recall the solemnity of the rooms that once welcomed the audience. The salon with its splendid period fireplace evokes the atmosphere of the gatherings before and after the shows, and the abundant light echoes the theatre’s scenic design.

An unrepeatable position
The apartment is directly on the seafront, in the very centre of town, and projects forward from the neighbouring buildings. As a result the view is completely open and unobstructed on three sides:
South: the open sea and the Alassio pier
East: Gallinara Island, lit up by the first rays of dawn
West: Capo Mele, accompanying the sunsets
From dawn to dusk the light changes constantly and puts on a different show every day. On full-moon nights the sea becomes a silver expanse that pours into the rooms. A theatre once again, but now the stage is nature and you are the audience.

The rooms
Surface area: 137 m² floor area (approx. 180 m² commercial surface)
Wherever you look up you will find very high sail-vaulted ceilings, a rare and precious feature of great 18th-century residences that gives the spaces airiness, light and an almost theatrical character.

Living areas
First salon: very bright, with French windows opening onto the south-facing balcony (8 m²), directly overlooking the pier and the sea, and large windows to the east and west. Breakfast facing Gallinara, aperitifs with a view of the pier.
Second salon: intimate and full of charm, dominated by the period fireplace, perfect for winter evenings.
Kitchen: with a west-facing balcony (5 m²) and views of Capo Mele and the sunsets.

Sleeping area
Three bedrooms
Two shower rooms
One WC with washbasin and bidet

Finishes and comfort
Completely renovated in 2006 with great care and constantly maintained, with particular attention to thermal and sound insulation
Triple-glazed windows: silence and comfort even in the heart of town and during the busiest summer months
Splendid parquet flooring throughout the apartment (bathrooms excluded)
Air conditioning
Independent gas heating

Garages (optional)
Possibility to purchase two enclosed garages, adjacent to the building and easily accessible: a rarity in the town centre, a few steps from the sea.

Living Alassio on foot
The true luxury of this home is convenience. You are in the liveliest and most sought-after part of town, and everything is within walking distance:
Beach and pier a few steps from the front door
The famous “Budello”, the historic shopping and dining street
Restaurants, cafés, pastry shops and boutiques a few minutes’ walk away
Shops and services close at hand
The railway station, easily reached without a car
A place where you can do without the car and every day becomes a pleasant stroll. The first floor means easy access with no need for a lift, and with the two garages available you also have secure parking just metres from home.

A rare opportunity
A property with this history, this open view on three sides, these sail-vaulted ceilings, this location and a carefully renovated, constantly maintained interior comes onto the market very rarely. It is ideal for those seeking:
a prestigious seaside residence to enjoy all year round
an elegant and functional holiday home
an investment in one of the most exclusive locations on the Ligurian Riviera
Opening your windows every morning onto the sea, Gallinara Island and the Alassio pier: this is what awaits you
