Dimora De Auria

Live la dolce vita when you vacation in the elegant sea view Dimora de Auria, set in the Cinque Port of Porto Venere on the northwest coast of Italy. This beautiful property comprises three distinct parts, each with its entrances: a three-storey detached house, an independent annexe, and a studio-style apartment. The six hundred square meter property is set in its own meticulously maintained grounds and botanical gardens, with gated access to the azure waters of the Mediterranean Sea.

There are nine spacious bedrooms, which can comfortably accommodate up to sixteen guests in some style. Dimora de Auria would be ideal for a fabulous family celebration or a group of friends get-together. The exterior columned house is most impressive, whilst the interiors are exquisite, cleverly combining classic painted ceilings and chandeliered rooms, furnished with traditional pieces and original antiques, with wonderful bathrooms and contemporary kitchens.

Starting with the main house, enter your holiday home through the breathtakingly beautiful marble reception hall, from which all rooms lead off. The painted ceiling sitting room is charmingly furnished with comfy sofas, armchairs, and book-lined shelves. With a second sea view, the sitting room has a similar built-in bookcase, which is home to a flat-screen television. The white and granite kitchen is fully equipped with all the necessary appliances to cater to your holiday, including that must-have morning coffee maker. The adjacent painted-ceiling dining room is perfect for some splendid indoor entertaining. Take the sweeping staircase to the first floor, where you will find two sea-view double bedrooms with queen-sized beds and one single bed. There are two stunning bathrooms, one with a bathtub, a walk-in shower, a vanity unit, and a WC, and the other with a shower, a hand basin, and a WC. On the second floor, there are two more sea-view double bedrooms with queen-size beds, one with an ensuite bathroom and the other with an ensuite shower room. A handy laundry room completes the main house.

Take the path through the garden to the two-storey Dependence. This delightful property has an open plan living space, decked out in marine navy and white, with a sofa, chairs, coffee table and TV, a fully equipped kitchen, and a six-seater dining set on the ground floor. On the first floor is a double bedroom with a queen-size bed, an ensuite bathroom, and a double bedroom with twin beds and an ensuite shower room. The independent ground-floor Apartment has a sea-view double bedroom with a queen-sized bed and an ensuite shower room.

Step out in the five thousand square metres of gorgeous grounds, surrounded by a walled Mediterranean garden, manicured lawns, a gate to the seafront promenade, and a sea view terrace furnished with a dining set for alfresco feasting.
