Best known for his work on the French Riviera, American architect Barry Dierks left behind one Italian masterpiece: a 1920s modernist villa with a private bay on the Ligurian coast.

One of the most exclusive properties on the Italian Riviera, this Ligurian castello offers 360° views from its hilltop positioning on the Portofino promontory, set high above the Bay of Paraggi.

This period villa is located in an exclusive residential area in the city of Sanremo, located on the Mediterranean coast of Liguria, Italy.

The medieval-style Castello Capelli was built in the early 1900s, built as a holiday retreat to host Queen Margherita.
