Villa Barca, a magnificent and unique residence, is a place where you breathe peace and tranquility in every corner. The property is surrounded by lush, mediterranean gardens, woods and olive groves and enjoys a dominant position over the Western Ligurian Valleys and the Mediterranean Sea, embellished by a stunning infinity pool and an ancient private chapel.
The property epitomises the perfect blend of history and modernity: its origins lay in the 17th century, as evidenced by the private chapel still present on the property, which served the owners and the workers and neighbours of the manor as an exclusive place to worship. The original proprietors of this country estate came from a rich family of Genovese advocates who traced their roots back to the village.
One of the ancestors even rose up to the rank of private lawyer for King Victor Emanuel II, King of Sardinia, Duke of Savoy, who later became the first king of Italy. In the 20th century the chapel was deconsecrated and used among others as an artist studio.m
