The Castello Devachan was built and designed by the engineer Pietro Agosti (from Sanremo) with the help of engineer Winter. The building developer was Costanzio Sappia. The architecture of the castle was in the liberty style. The Castello Devachan stands majestically on the hill of Berigo, a few minutes from the centre of Sanremo, set amongst other beautiful villas, between palm trees, orange trees, cacti, banana, and other tropical and Mediterranean plants.

The Castello Devachan was purchased in 1890 by the English Count Orazio Savile of Mexborough. The elder Lord Mexborough acquired the castle to live there with his young spouse Lady Ivy, despite his age of 75 years. The Count of Mexborough had become a Buddhist after having lived in India for thirty years, it was he who named the Castello Devachan. Before it was called Villa Silvia Mexborough, after his first wife.

On April 19, 1920, the First World War Allies leaders, working through the League of Nations, gathered at the Castello Devachan in San Remo, Italy to carve up Turkey. With the last dusk of the San Remo Conference, the conferees granted France the mandate for both Syria and Lebanon. The British received the mandate for Iraq, and also Palestine, under a provision creating a Jewish homeland.

The Allied prime ministers meeting at the Castello Devachan in San Remo discussed a number of territorial problems, including the general framework of the Turkish peace treaty. The Allies agreed to leave the Fiume question up to the governments of Italy and the Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes. The delegates also considered ways of disposing of Class A mandates. Under the League of Nations system, Class A mandates were in the final stages of preparation for independence.
 

San Remo is the capital town of the Italian Riviera of Flowers.

The Italian region of Liguria begins where the French Riviera ends, sharing the same dazzling Mediterranean Sea.

It has been a popular holiday resort for Europe’s beautiful people for more than a century, and, as a result, property here doesn’t come cheap.

Liguria is a narrow and mountainous coastal strip curving like a boomerang around the sea. The region’s capital, Genoa, is in the centre with exclusive resorts, such as Portofino and the
Cinque Terre, to the east. Western Liguria includes San Remo, an established destination for Italian buyers known as the City of Flowers after its main industry.

Location: Nice airport is 45 minutes from San Remo via a road that tunnels briskly through the mountains, while Genoa, served by Ryanair from Stansted, is 100 miles to the east. Monte Carlo is 30 minutes away; Milan is three hours, and skiing in Piemonte is two hours away.

It is located very close to the French border and only about 20 minutes drive from Monte Carlo, Monaco.

Climate: the palm trees around San Remo point to the microclimate enjoyed by this coast. San Remo and Ospedaletti have an annual average of 280 days of sunshine.

The average temperatures is 22 degrees Celsius in summer, and 14 degrees Celsius in winter.

Inland, in the mountains, winters can be harsh.

The climate of San Remo has been widely appreciated since the 1800's, but its artistic heritage, permeated by that typically Ligurian shyness, which escapes from any focus of attention, is still largely unknown.

Places to visit: San Remo has an annual song festival and regular regattas and markets. The sea front is studded with small restaurants overlooking the marina. Local dishes include freshly caught fish and simple Italian fare, such as freshly prepared pizzas.

Restaurants nearby include G&G in the centre of town, Mare Blu, (just down the road from the Gucci, Prada and Guess stores) Ulisse (where you can enjoy a fantastic 9 course meal for Euro 30 per head), and Della Palme in the old harbour. Don't miss out on the fantastic selection of ice creams at the Living Garden by the sea.

A must to see is the Russian Orthodox Church, Villa Ormond, the open-air market every Tuesday and Saturday, and the famous San Remo Casino.

San Remo is the town of art, culture, and sports: fishing, diving, canoeing, wind surfing, and motorboating - together with golfing, riding, swimming, baseball, and fitness facilities.

San Remo is also called the Town of Flowers - its flowers are well-known all over the world - and this can be clearly seen in its luxuriant gardens, its colourful flowerbeds, and in the town parks where tropical plants flourish.

Our suggestion is to explore Sanremo in its most secret places, bit by bit, and do take your time. . .

Stewart says: "The only problem was the air condintioner. It didn't meet my expectations and pouring out the pan in the middle of the night was not very fun. Also some of the kitchen pans need to be replaced. Other than that we fell in love with the place! Loved the Castello. We couldn't have made it without the help of Allesadro. The owner Joel was very helpful as well before my stay and while I was vacationing. I would love to rent one of his other properties or perhaps come back to the Castello one day!"

Owner reply:
Thanks for the comments, to which we reply as follows -

We received consent from the Castle administrators to install fixed air-conditioning units in our apartment about 3 years ago, and these were installed.

Due to complaints from the adjoining neighbour, we have offered not to use them, pending the installation of a replacement motor at the end of our garden, further away from our complaining neighbour.

The kitchen pans were replaced in August 2007.

A new marble-topped bathroom unit is being installed in the master bathroom in the first week of September, and further improvements are planned.

We look forward to welcoming you back again in the near future atg one of our properties on the Mediterranean.

Kind regards

Joel
