Villa Rosmarino is located on Mount Portofino, a protected area that stretches out into the open sea, a natural border between the Golfo Paradiso and Golfo del Tigullio.
The Mount is a regional park of great natural interest where sea, rocks and vegetation merge perfectly to create unforgettable scenery.
The Mount rises just above Camogli, one of the most famous and enchanting fisherman’s village in Liguria.
Since early centuries, Camogli has been one of the most romantic fisherman’s villages in the Mediterranean Sea. The fortified town erects itself over the Golfo Paradiso at the foot of the Mount
Portofino. Its traditional tall multicoloured houses are homes to ancient sea traditions and it’s been called since the last century “The town of the thousand tall ships”.
The traditional colours of the house are always warm, in contrasting shades but never garish: ochre and beige dominate, with splashes of burgundy and burnished red.
Camogli is also a favourite gourmet attraction for those looking for the true flavours of regional italian cuisine.
Pansoti (small parcels of pasta filled with wild herbs) , trofie with pesto (Ligurian pasta with fresh pesto sauce), focaccia di Recco (savoury pastry oozing with light melted cheese). the freshest of fish cooked in a variety of styles are only the starters to this immersion in the finest Italian cuisine. The closeness to the age old Abbey of S.Fruttuoso di Capodimonte and the Doria Tower which can only be reached by boat or on foot through well tended and fascinating pathways make it an ideal escape from everyday life.
More than thirty of these paths run through the Mount Portofino and allow to reach such classic destinations as Punta Chiappa, Portofino or Paraggi through stunning environment running along the coastline.
Villa Rosmarino is the ideal starting point for these walks through nature.
For sea lovers, the waters surrounding Mount Portofino are part of a Natural Reservoir.
Guests can navigate, swim and dive in the clearest of blue waters or simply enjoy the freshest of fish by having lunch or dinner in one of the cozy restaurants that can only be reached by boat, of which the Villa owners are also provided.
The waters surrounding Camogli and Mount Portofino hosts one of the only three remaining “tonnara” (traditional tuna fishing reservoir) in the country alongside those in Sicily and Sardinia.

For those looking for the best of Italian charm Portofino and Santa Margherita provide the perfect destinations with their exclusive villas, shopping and restaurants.


Built in 1907 over a pre-existing structure, Villa Rosmarino is a typical ligurian small palace with green shutters and trompe l’oeil which reproduce on the wall frescos, decorations and floral motifs.
To its first owner, a local sea captain who commissioned the building at the end of XIX century, Villa Rosmarino was their country home where to take rests in between long seafaring journeys, but also where the olives coming from the trees and land surrounding the villa were crushed.
In the ground floor was an old oil mill to produce olive oil for the needs of the resident family but also for those residing in the neighbouring villas. The grind stones of the oil mill have been kept after the restructuring and are part of the decoration of the garden of the villa.



The large garden of Villa Rosmarino surrounds the house in a typical ligurian fashion. A large magnolia tree and some chamelias spread their fragrance on the Mount side, while climbing roses, gardenias, pomegranate trees and geraniums will lead your walk toward the swimming pool area.
Lemon, tangerine and grapefruit trees bloom right outside the large opening doors of the living room while the lavender and rosemary bordered lawn that surrounds the swimming poll hosts the old mill grindstone and an ancient retorted fig tree.
Guests can admire these colors while comfortably sunbathing on the lounge chairs and beds around the large swimming pool.


The villa’s interiors are defined by modern furnishing and Italian design, not only as far as the pieces of furniture are concerned but also for the presence of works of art by contemporary international artists.
The internal décor is relaxing and soothing for the most demanding traveler.
Large sofas, a communal designer long table, a modern fireplace define the living room, while the library with a long terrace overlooking the pool and Golfo Paradiso, invites to reading time thank to sofas and chairs of mixed modern and decò period, surrounded by walls of art, literature, communication and design books.

Villa Rosmarino has six bedrooms: each one offers guests the privilege to live in a unique and different atmosphere from the other guests of the residence
Each room has an open wardrobe and private bathroom with modern resin floorings and light Saint Hubert stone, the sinks of Carrara marble fashioned in Ligurian style.
