Villa Araba, Private residence on rocky promontory in Varazze, Italy.
Villa Araba stands on Punta della Mola peninsula, featuring white arches and a wide loggia designed by architect Barry Dierks in 1925.
The site previously housed Torre della Mola, a tower built by the Republic of Genoa in the 1300s, which collapsed in the late 19th century.
The entrance displays a Carrara marble relief inscribed with 'Torre della Mola', preserving the historical connection to the original structure.
The property includes a Mediterranean garden, seawater rock pools, three auxiliary buildings, and a small fort, all protected under Italian heritage laws.
A sundial adorns the seaside facade of the villa with the Latin inscription 'Sine sole sileo', meaning 'Without sun, I remain silent'.
