Liguria villas with a private pool
On a coast as steep as Liguria's, a private pool is rare and precious. Flat land is scarce, so pools are cut into the hillside or perched on the edge of a cliff, which gives them the kind of view no beach can match. With most of the shoreline made of rock and small coves, a pool is also the calmest way to swim.
The villas below each have their own. Above Portofino, an infinity pool follows the line of the cliff and faces the sea at sunset. At Zoagli, a 1928 Art Déco house on the Gulf of Tigullio has a heated infinity pool. Above Imperia, a 12 m pool seems to flow into the sea, and above Sanremo the pool is lit until midnight. Inland near Dolceacqua, a panoramic pool sits among vineyards.

Much of the Gulf of Tigullio faces south, so pools on these cliffs hold the sun from morning until evening.
The hills behind the western Riviera, around Dolceacqua, are known for Rossese red wine and are cooler and calmer than the coast in August.
Warm Ligurian nights invite a late swim. Ask whether the pool has lighting and at what hour it switches off.

When are the pools open?
Villa pools are usually open from May to October. Heated pools can make May and October more comfortable, and we confirm the details for your dates.
Are these villas easy to reach?
Hillside villas often have steep or narrow approaches, so a small car helps. Genoa airport serves the east of the region and Nice the west.
