Where History Meets Timeless Elegance

Overlooking the Mediterranean from one of the most refined residential hills of San Remo, “Castello Devachan” stands as a rare testament to the city’s cosmopolitan past. More than a prestigious historic residence, it is a place where architecture, philosophy and international history converge, giving the estate a cultural depth few properties on the Italian Riviera can boast.

The birth of an unconventional landmark

The origins of Castello Devachan date back to the late 19th century, when the estate was purchased by John Horace Savile, 5th Earl of Mexborough, an English aristocrat who had spent much of his life in India. Deeply influenced by Eastern philosophy and Buddhist thought, Savile imagined not only a residence, but a place dedicated to reflection, harmony, and spiritual balance.
