Built in 1678 as a summer residence of the Durazzo family, the villa is a typical Alessi square building, located in the middle of a beautiful park in a dominant position overlooking the Gulf of Tigullio.
In the 19th century the Villa was sold to Prince Centurion, who built the outbuildings and outlined the Italian Garden.
At the beginning of 20th century the villa was temporarily transformed into Grand Hotel, then acquired by Alfredo Chierichetti, who is responsible for the final layout of the park, and finally sold to the Municipality of Santa Margherita Ligure, in 1973.

這座別墅建於1678年，是 杜拉佐家族的避暑別墅，是一棟典型的阿勒斯廣場式建築，坐落在一個美麗的公園中間，處於俯瞰蒂古里奧海灣的主導位置。 在19世紀，別墅被出售給百夫長王子，後者建造了附屬建築並勾勒出意大利花園的輪廓。 20世紀初，別墅曾暫時改建成大酒店。
