The Castello Devachan was built and designed by the engineer Pietro Agosti (from Sanremo) with the help of engineer Winter. The building developer was Costanzio Sappia. The architecture of the castle was in the liberty style. The Castello Devachan stands majestically on the hill of Berigo, a few minutes from the centre of Sanremo, set amongst other beautiful villas, between palm trees, orange trees, cacti, banana, and other tropical and Mediterranean plants.
The Castello Devachan was purchased in 1890 by the English Count Orazio Savile of Mexborough. The elder Lord Mexborough acquired the castle to live there with his young spouse Lady Ivy, despite his age of 75 years. The Count of Mexborough had become a Buddhist after having lived in India for thirty years, it was he who named the Castello Devachan. Before it was called Villa Silvia Mexborough, after his first wife.
On April 19, 1920, the First World War Allies leaders, working through the League of Nations, gathered at the Castello Devachan in San Remo, Italy to carve up Turkey. With the last dusk of the San Remo Conference, the conferees granted France the mandate for both Syria and Lebanon. The British received the mandate for Iraq, and also Palestine, under a provision creating a Jewish homeland.
The Allied prime ministers meeting at the Castello Devachan in San Remo discussed a number of territorial problems, including the general framework of the Turkish peace treaty. The Allies agreed to leave the Fiume question up to the governments of Italy and the Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes. The delegates also considered ways of disposing of Class A mandates. Under the League of Nations system, Class A mandates were in the final stages of preparation for independence.

San Remo is the capital town of the Italian Riviera of Flowers.
The Italian region of Liguria begins where the French Riviera ends, sharing the same dazzling Mediterranean Sea.
It has been a popular holiday resort for Europe�s beautiful people for more than a century, and, as a result, property here doesn't come cheap.
Liguria is a narrow & mountainous coastal strip curving like a boomerang around the sea. The region�s capital, Genoa, is in the centre with exclusive resorts, such as Portofino and the
Cinque Terre, to the east. Western Liguria includes San Remo, an established destination for Italian buyers known as the City of Flowers after its main industry.
Location: Nice airport is 45 minutes from San Remo via a road that tunnels briskly through the mountains, while Genoa, served by Ryanair from Stansted, is 100 miles to the east. Monte Carlo is 30 minutes away Milan is three hours, and skiing in Piemonte is 2 hrs away.
