Villa Garnier, 19th-century residence in Bordighera, Italy.

The three-story villa features a tower resembling an Arab minaret and includes a wooden staircase imported directly from Paris.

Charles Garnier acquired the land in 1871 by offering 6,000 lire to the town and constructing a new school in exchange for the property.

The entrance walls display frescoes and drawings contributed by visiting artists including Lenepveu, Meissonier, Boulanger, and Clairin during their stays.

The villa contains multiple bedrooms on the upper floor, with the main bedroom featuring five windows to maximize natural light exposure.

The surrounding botanical garden spans 2,500 square meters and contains ten different palm tree species alongside numerous centennial trees.
