Villa Nobel, on Corso Cavallotti in Sanremo, is the Moorish-style villa where Alfred Nobel spent his last years. It rents its park for weddings, ceremonies and private or institutional events, and the villa has two conference rooms. The website lists congresses, gala dinners, cultural meetings and music evenings among the events held there.
Seminars and company events
The house has two conference rooms. One is on the ground floor and is decorated with frescoes in the Pompeian style. The other is on the first floor, next to Nobel's study and library. Both sit inside a museum, so a meeting here comes with a historic setting. The events pages mention congress events and gala dinners, as well as a European project meeting held in the villa in October 2026. The official site does not publish capacities or equipment, so ask for the number of seats and the audiovisual set-up when you ask for a date.
Weddings and receptions
The park is set up for outdoor ceremonies. A cascade of string lights covers the area for events and ceremonies, in front of the south facade of the villa. The whole outdoor space can be booked for weddings, ceremonies and private or institutional events. The site's events section shows dinners, music nights and a New Year's party in the villa.
Rooms and capacities
The villa has three floors. The basement holds Nobel's laboratory, with photographs, instruments and a section on the Nobel prizes. The ground floor has a conference room with Pompeian frescoes. On the first floor are the scientist's study, the library, period furnishings and a second conference room. The second floor has Nobel's bedroom, furnished with authentic 19th-century pieces. The park measures 6,000 square meters. No capacities are published for the rooms or the park.
Catering
Dinners, gala dinners and aperitifs are held in the villa, but the site does not describe the catering model. Ask the organisers whether the villa has a fixed caterer or accepts yours.
History and setting
The building was constructed at the end of the 1870s for the pharmacist Pietro Vacchieri from Rivoli, to a design by Filippo Grossi. Alfred Nobel bought it in 1891 and lived there until his death in 1896. It is where he worked on patents and wrote the will that created the Nobel Prize. The park once reached the sea, where Nobel built an iron pier for ballistic tests. A Bofors cannon of 1883 stands under a tall Monterey cypress.
Getting there
The villa is at Corso Cavallotti 116 in Sanremo and can also be reached by the cycle and pedestrian path that runs along the coast. The site gives no information on parking or railway station.
