Full Description
Rising above the hills of Finale Ligure, surrounded by woodland and minutes from the crystal-clear Ligurian Riviera, Fort Tortagna is a rare 19th-century fortress reimagined for modern living. Built between 1883 and 1895 for the Royal Italian Army, its polygonal plan—once concealed by embankments and protected by a moat—still recalls its defensive origins. Today, the fort has been transformed into a prestigious private residence, with all rooms oriented toward a spacious central courtyard. Carefully restored interiors and bespoke furnishings create a warm, evocative atmosphere, from the library and reception halls to the generous kitchen, five bedrooms and three bathrooms. The property offers approx. 865 sqm and sits within about 60,000 sqm of private land, ensuring complete privacy. A panoramic swimming pool, helipad, caretaker’s house, plus garage and laundry facilities complete the estate. More than a home, Forte Tortagna is ideal as a secluded retreat, an exclusive event venue, or a boutique hospitality project—peaceful yet within reach of Milan, Genoa and Monte Carlo.
