Ultra-prime residences for sale across Italy — waterfront, lakeside and with exceptional views
Luxury Villas Italy by Luxury Esmeralda is a private property finder for buyers of ultra-prime Italian real estate. For more than twenty years we have guided international clients through the purchase of waterfront villas, lakeside estates, mountain-view chalets, historic palazzi and penthouse residences in Italy's most exclusive locations. Every enquiry is handled discreetly and forwarded to the owners or to our local partners in the region concerned.
Our search area includes Portofino and the Ligurian Riviera, Capri and the Amalfi Coast, Lake Como, Lake Garda, Venice and its lagoon, Milan and Rome, the Costa Smeralda in Sardinia, Cortina d'Ampezzo in the Dolomites, Forte dei Marmi in Versilia and the hills of Tuscany. In each of these markets we work with trophy assets: seafront villas with private shoreline and mooring, neoclassical lake residences with a jetty, alpine chalets with panoramic mountain views, hillside villas overlooking vineyards or the coast, masserie and country estates, historic palazzi on the Grand Canal, and signature penthouses in the centre of Milan and Rome.
A significant share of the finest Italian properties never reaches a public portal. As property finders we access off-market listings, verify title and planning status, arrange private viewings, negotiate on your behalf and coordinate notary, tax and legal advisers through to completion. Prices are on request and each residence is presented only to qualified private buyers. Contact us with the profile of the property you are seeking — location, size, sea, lake or mountain view, budget — and we will assemble a confidential selection for you.
