Villa Etelinda, 19th century villa in Bordighera, Italy
Villa Etelinda stands at 38 Via Romana with a slender tower adorned with geometric mosaics and archways displaying detailed leaf motifs.
Commissioned by banker Raphael Bischoffsheim in 1873, the villa was constructed by architect Charles Garnier and completed in 1875 after design modifications.
Lord Claude Bowes-Lyon renamed the property to Villa Etelinda in 1896, referencing his sister Mildred Marion's opera composition.
The villa forms part of the Queen Margherita Museum, exhibiting the Terruzzi family art collection and offering guided tours to visitors.
A Latin inscription within a golden mosaic frieze above the ground floor windows commemorates Queen Margherita of Italy's recovery from illness.
