John S. Alessio’s Mediterranean villa in the hills of La Mesa. It was on the market for 1,750,000 dollars. Included were most of the antique furnishings. It had 66,000 square feet of living space, a 400 square foot dollhouse, spectacular pool, a marble-lined winding staircase, a sunken bath with antique gold filigree railing, and spectacular views from all rooms. It was named Casa de Bella Vista-house of the beautiful view. Alessio was the head of his family’s Alessio Corp. Among the most famous places they owned were the Caliente Racetrack in Tijuana, the Hotel del Coronado, the Kona Kai Club, and Mr. A’s restaurant. He helped create the Coronado Bridge.
This was one of three homes the Alessio’s owned on Mt. Helix.
"I have loved this home since I was 12 years old. Any out of town visitors got a tour of Tijuana and then a visit to this home. I am super disappointed the crystal chandelier is missing from that huge window. I would stare at it for a minutes."
Marybeth Wilson, Mt. Helix resident
