The Collina di Megli, today an prevalently residential area overlooking the sea and dominating the town of Recco, was, in the distant past, an agricultural area mainly made up of olive groves. Villa Baia Blu was originally a farmhouse divided into two parts, the main house and the annex, the caretaker's residence. The two-storey villa was completely renovated a few years ago, using high quality modern materials while still maintaining part of the original, period ones. The huge kitchen, with the original majolica tiles and the antique “runfò genovesi” (Genoese ovens) combined with modern equipment, represents the most striking example of the perfect combination of old and functional modern. Thanks to its dominant position, you have a breathtaking view over the entire Golfo Paradiso, the town of Recco and its beach but, above all, over the last headland of the Monte di Portofino, in the Natural Marine Park. The villa is surrounded by a large private park with the vibrant green of the lawn contrasting with the intense blue of the sea which the entire property overlooks. The splendid swimming pool, too, lies in a panoramic position over the gulf, with a view of the green natural park of Monte di Portofino.
