Villa Ormond, 19th-century mansion with botanical gardens in Sanremo, Italy
The elongated villa features classic architecture with a raised floor, massive staircase, and expansive terraces overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.
Michel Louis Ormond, a Swiss cigar manufacturer, commissioned architect Emile Réverdin to build this residence after an earthquake destroyed the previous villa in 1887.
The villa houses the International Institute of Humanitarian Law, which conducts research and training programs focused on human rights protection.
The villa and its 16,000-square-meter gardens remain open to visitors daily from 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM throughout the year.
The gardens contain two groups of Phoenix palms considered among the largest specimens in Europe, plus a Japanese garden designed by Kazuo Makioka.
