Renovated small villa with sea view – Zoagli

Located halfway between Chiavari and Rapallo, Zoagli has been inhabited for millennia: a prehistoric settlement, a fiefdom of the Fieschi Family of Lavagna and, starting from the 13th century, under the dominion of the Republic of Genoa. During this period, Zoagli became world-famous for the production of precious silk velvets; the weaving activity was thus accompanied by that of seamanship. Even today, the coat of arms of Zoagli features the symbolic colors of the two major confraternities: the blue of the sailors and the yellow of the weavers, with the effigy of the two Towers built in the 1500s to defend the village from pirate attacks. Already in the nineteenth century, Zoagli was a destination for elite tourism and maintained the tradition of reserved hospitality. It offers tourists evocative landscapes that have fascinated renowned artists such as Nietzsche, Kandinsky, Tosi, Sem Benelli, Ezra Pound. Zoagli is still characterized by a calm and refined beauty, which can be found in the creuze, small paths running between the villa parks and the terraces cultivated with olive trees, as well as along the Lungomare Canevaro, a rocky path that winds along the cliffs near the sea. Zoagli retains its charm even below sea level; right in front of the Rotonda Grande, about 9 meters deep, lies the statue of the Madonna del Mare, created by sculptor Marian Hastianatte. This creation enriches the artistic and tourist heritage of the seaside village and represents an additional destination for diving enthusiasts. The square overlooking the lively bars and restaurants, the promontories and coves provide the backdrop for a peaceful yet rich vacation full of great and small emotions.
