Il Villaggio
A country retreat and residences in Da Nang
Il villaggio is a new country retreat and residences in the center of Da Nang – Vietnam, on a total land area of 60 HA.
Da Nang is a coastal city in central Vietnam known for its sandy beaches and history as a French colonial port. It's a popular base for visiting the inland Bà Nà hills to the west of the city. Here the hillside Hải Vân Pass has views of Da Nang Bay and the Marble Mountains. These 5 limestone outcrops are topped with pagodas and hide caves containing Buddhist shrines.
The name “il villaggio” takes inspirations from the traditional Italian villages in the countryside where there is a strong integration between the buildings, squares and public spaces and the surrounding landscape, together with the experience of living green and taste the real organic product from the land.
The land is surrounded by a beautiful and fresh river that becomes the key element of the master plan design.
The lowest part of the land is connected to the river to create a central marina, becoming the central water square and attraction of the resort, used by day and by night for water sports and water shows.
The marina serves also for local transportation and river tourism exploration, connecting the country retreat to the private beach side at just less than 1 Km distance.
The style of the retreat is Mediterranean, as a village in southern part of Italy: it offers organic farms and products, horse facilities and sport such as polo. At the center is located the main hotel and clubhouse and around it several villas and low rise condos types.
The master plan accommodates 440.000 m2 of GFA in a low rise development, where the highest components is residential (villas, apartments and townhouses).
