Casa Rufo is a contemporary design villa in an exceptional setting, high in the Ligurian hills with far-reaching views stretching all the way to the sea in the distance. Everything about this villa is distinctive: the crisp whitewashed interiors, the carefully curated selection of designer furniture, and the seamless way the stone house blends into the surrounding landscape.

An ancient entrance gate and centuries-old stone steps lead to the terraced grounds of no less than 7,000 m², built with traditional Ligurian dry-stone walls, from which Casa Rufo rises.

Inside, the villa feels like a private art gallery. Thoughtfully placed design pieces and original decorative elements (we especially love the colourful poufs and the iconic Gufram leaves) give every space its own character. The living room is a true statement, centred around a spectacular designer sofa facing the view. The modern white kitchen forms the elegant heart of the house, while the four bedrooms—each with its own en-suite bathroom—offer comfort and privacy. Outside, the infinity pool awaits: with two overflowing edges, it seems to merge effortlessly into the hills. On the sun terrace, you can enjoy peace and quiet or linger over an aperitivo and al fresco dinner on warm Ligurian days.

Casa Rufo is a place for lovers of design, tranquillity and meaningful architecture—a home that surprises at every turn and invites you to slow down.

The village of Castiglione Chiavarese is within walking distance, while the beaches of Sestri Levante are just 10 kilometres away—offering the perfect balance between seclusion and la dolce vita.
