The house is part of an estate that has been cultivated with vines and olives for over 500 years and is located on a hill facing south in the hinterland of the Gulf of La Spezia. It is like a small village with the old farmhouses, the villa, the stables, the church and the old oil mill. Arriving here means breaking away from the daily routine, breathing a different atmosphere, entering a different world, it means coming face to face with a nature that is both gentle and harsh, as is the entire Ligurian land. You can stroll in the shade of the naturally cultivated olive trees, immerse yourself in the surrounding forest, and then be welcomed into the 'hortus conclusus' where a large swimming pool (10 X 5) surrounded by the scent of citrus fruits awaits you (open from 15 June to 15 September, weather permitting).
From here you can set out to discover the beauty of the sea of the 5 Terre, the Gulf of Lerici, the promontory on which Porto Venere is perched, and then explore the cities of art: Pisa with its 'Piazza dei Miracoli' Lucca with its thousand churches and mighty walls, Genoa with its ancient port and the palaces of the maritime republic.
From the port of La Spezia, it is possible to reach Palmaria Island by boat, where we recommend Pozzale beach: it is a place still immersed in the atmosphere of the past, with a view of the island of Tino and a pebble beach with clear water. The perfect destination if you are looking for peace and tranquillity.
The flat we have named 'Malvasia' after an old white grape cultivar will be the home you return to and will welcome you as a safe haven. Here you will have two rooms, each with a double bed, a bathroom with shower and a large kitchen. Outside there is a veranda, where you can use the table reserved for you.
In summer then you can eat outside preparing a rich barbecue or a good 'bruschetta' with Olio DOP del Levante ligure.
