Perfect spot

It’s bin the best vacation, on the perfect location. The host where so nice - the fridge where full when we arrive. Antonio took us to the best bakery and vinery. Booked a table for us, at the best local restaurant. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. The surroundings where beautiful. We can only recommend it for a family trip.

the italian dream

the perfect place to get away from the hectic life. all the rest and privacy in the middle of the olive trees and still only a few minutes walk to the nice village Castelnuovo Magra. if you like sun and sea... it's there. if you like hiking ... it's there. if you like culture, architecture and romantic walks, villages and susets.... it's there. this all with a very friendly host gives you the perfect vacation in one of the most beautiful areas of Italy ... and other countries. thanks for a vacation never to forget....

A taste of paradise in the beautiful Italian countryside

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Antonio and Fabiana's beautiful home. They were the perfect hosts and the villa and grounds were very tranquil with stunning views - we enjoyed being away from the crowds but within easy reach of the Cinque Terre and lovely Italian towns such as Pisa and Lucca, not to mention the sweet little town of Ortonovo itself. We arrived in the early evening and were greeted by our hosts and a delicious spread of tasty treats prepared by Fabiana. The beautiful, well equipped kitchen/sitting room which led onto the garden was also stocked with breakfast items which was a very thoughtful touch and a nice surprise. As a family of 4 adults the accommodation worked perfectly for us with one bedroom and ensuite upstairs and one downstairs. We really wished we could have stayed longer and definitely hope to return.

Response from VrboOwner on 17 July 2021
I would like to state the following with the hope that this client may reconsider what has written knowing that what she has stated damages me personally, and the villa's image: After all of the personal passion, energy and love that I put in hospitality trying to make people happy, is really hard to receive my first negative review after 10 years of hospitality! I always try to make any criticism constructive as nobody is perfect but some people are really impossible to please. These guests were disappointed without any reason from the first day they came in. The first question is… If you were not satisfied about the property why to stay in my house for 2 weeks? Although the stay for 2 weeks after the holiday they sent the complain not to the owner or to agency but they started to publish bad reviews everywhere. This is no a constructive criticism but slandering. Briefly I answer to their comments point by point: No Summer House This is a summer rental country house since year 2005. My son has a private small gym adyacent to the house but this is not offered to the guests in fact we never wrote it on the technical data sheet of the house. Pool As per our description, the pool is close to the property and you can reach it through a path. We have always hosted families with children of any age and we never met any problem. Moreover the pool is safe and certified. House was filthy...bathroom needs replacing ...mezzanine unsafe for small children Again… if they were not satisfied about the house why to stay for 2 weeks ? All these complaints are quite exaggerated and malicious rather than friendly and constructive and mostly not true! I suggest to read the description of the house newly and carefully ( Please read location, accommodation, bedrooms, bathrooms, view, outdoor area, kitchen and obviously the pool ) ... that is exactly the reality of the villa. This said...I feel confident that future guests will enjoy the home . I will keep doing our best to make people feel at home and happy. there is no boat, canoe etc you have to pay him to take you out on his boat Where did you read we were offering boats, canoe and free yacht cruises to the guests? This is fruit of your immagination. People like you probably think that everything is due and free but this is not possible with all guests. I am used to spend my spare time only with friendly and polite people sorry.

Unser Urlaub war wunderschön ! Das Haus ( liebevoll dekoriert )und das Grundstück sind sehr gepflegt - bei der Ankunft war sogar der Kühlschrank mit italienischem Essen und Getränken gefüllt . Ansonsten war von Essig und Öl über Regenschirme bis Decken für draußen ,wenn es kühler wird ,alles da ! Die riesige Wäscheleine war perfekt für die Strandtücher. Von einem tiefergelegten Auto würde ich abraten - das setzt in der Einfahrt vermutlich auf.Die Gastgeber, die im Haus nebenan wohnen, sind sehr herzlich, hilfsbereit und diskret.

That is absolutely wonderful to hear! We are so thrilled that you had a wonderful vacation and enjoyed the house and grounds. It's a true labor of love to maintain the property and decorate it, so your mention of the house being "lovingly decorated" and "very well-maintained" means the world to us. We try to think of all the details, from the initial stocked fridge of Italian food and drinks to the essentials like oil, vinegar, umbrellas, and blankets—and yes, that huge clothesline is a must for beach towels! Thank you also for the excellent note about the driveway and lowered cars. That is a great heads-up for future guests, and we appreciate you sharing your experience so others can plan accordingly. We've shared your kind words with the hosts next door, who strive to be welcoming, helpful, and discreet. They were delighted to hear you felt that way. We would be honored to welcome you back again on your next trip!

Ein traumhaftes Haus mit atemberaubender Blick. Wir haben eine sehr schöne Woche dort verbracht. Das Haus ist ein sehr guter Ausgangspunkt, um die Gegend zu erkunden. Unser geheim Tipp ist das Ort Pietrasanta. Ruhig, aber voll mit Kunst und traumhafte Ecken. Unsere Gastgeber waren auch sehr nett und hilfsbereit.

Magnifique vue à proximité des Cinque Terre

La maison est à flanc de colline à une dizaine de minutes à pieds du très joli village de Castelnuovo Magra. La piscine en terrasse offre une vue panoramique sur la vallée du Magra, l’entrée des 5 Terre et la presqu’île de Lerici La maison dispose de l’air conditionnée ce qui est un plus en cas de fortes chaleurs. Elle est sur 2 niveau dont 1 sous pente (pour les plus petits). La cuisine est bien équipée On peut manger dehors grâce à une très belle terrasse mais qui gagnerait à être aménagée différemment (un salon de jardin par exemple). Quelques travaux et améliorations à prévoir sur les vétustés et literies. L’accueil de Franco est très sympathique et sait se faite discret pendant l’entretien N’hésitez pas à visiter Tellaro et plonger depuis sa marina qui se trouve à 30 minutes A Castelnuovo il y a un petite boulangerie bien cachée derrière la petite eglise du village. Nous recommandons la visite des 5 Terre mais en train (prendre les billets à Vernazza) A voir aussi Lerici, Portovenere, et les carrières de marbre. Bcp bcp de choses à visiter sans oublier les petits tours en bateau autour des îles La maison est idéalement située pour visiter le nord de la Toscane et le Sud de la Ligurie

Familie mit 2 Kindern (10 und 12 Jahre) im Juli 2019

Die Lage und Umgebung des Häuschens sind wirklich hervorragend. In 15 Gehminuten ist man in der süßen Altstadt von Castelnuovo Magra und in 20 Fahrminuten im nächsten Supermarkt und trotzdem liegt dieser Ort in einer total ruhigen und abgelegen, romatischen Umgebung. Der Ausblick ist traumhaft schön - man sieht das Tal, die Berge und sogar das Meer und natürlich den Turm von Castelnuovo Magra. Mit zwei Kindern ist die Größe des Häuschens absolut ausreichend und es ist alles da, was man so braucht. Der Pool mit der Aussendusche (warmes Wasser!) und den Liegen ist genial und sehr erfrischend und gerade für die Kinder optimal und ausreichend groß. Das W-Lan war ebenfalls sehr zuverlässig und stark genug für sämtliche Spielkonsolen der Kinder;) Der Vermieter war immer sehr hilfsbereit und äußerst nett und freundlich. Alles in allem haben wir hier zwei wunderschöne und erholsame Wochen verbracht.

Der Aufenthalt in der Villa war sehr schön. Alle Zimmer sind sehr liebevoll eingerichtet, man fühlt sich sofort wohl. Sehr sauber!! Bei der Ankunft war der Kühlschrank gefüllt mit italienischen Köstlichkeiten. Toll!!! Die Verständigung war etwas schwierig, die Eigentümer verstehen fast kein Englisch. Leider benötigt man für jegliche Unternehmung das Auto. Zu einem schönen Strand ist man mindestens eine halbe Stunde mit dem Auto unterwegs.

La location parfaite (THE perfect renting) ! Nous avons été accueillis par Antonio, Fabiana et leurs petits chiens Coco et Lino (très bien éduqués, on ne les entend pas !). L'Aia, jolie maison située au calme au milieu de la petite oliveraie qui entoure le jardin. Antonio nous a fait visité les lieux : deux chambres meublées avec soin et goût (avec le fameux lit matrimonial cher aux italiens), lumineuses, confortables et climatisée avec vue sur le jardin et petite terrasse pour l'une et vue sur la mer au loin l'autre. Les salles de bain sont impeccables et le linge de toilette de qualité est fourni en quantité. La pièce à vivre est spacieuse, remplie de lumière, chaleureuse et climatisée avec une cuisine bien équipée tant en vaisselle qu'en ustensiles. Nous avons été particulièrement charmés par les attentions de nos hôtes : le frigo était rempli non seulement de yaourts, mozzarella, fromages, beurre, oeufs, lait, jus de fruit, charcuterie, mais surtout de plein de délicieux plats préparés maison par Fabiana (nous nous sommes régalés tous mes 4 pendant 2 repas). La table était joliment dressée, avec du pain frais en quantité, du vin,... Quel accueil merveilleux ! Antonio nous a invité pour l'apéritif à boire le fameux "spritz" et finalement, ils nous ont convié à partager leur dîner, en compagnie de leurs trois convives invités ce soir là. Quelle belle soirée nous avons passée en leur compagnie !!! Nous nous sommes régalés (et sommes en plus repartis avec du pesto fait maison, un délice goûté le lendemain !) mais nous avons surtout fait une belle rencontre. Nous nous sommes débrouillés tous entre l'italien, le français et l'anglais (ah Antonio et ses onomatopées, ses bruitages, ses mimes !) et nous nous sommes parfaitement compris et amusés ! Quelle soirée ! Le chaleureux accueil d'Antonio et Fabiana est exceptionnel (je n'ai jamais connu cela ailleurs), mais ils sont également des hôtes extrêmement discrets en journée. Le lieu est très bien placé pour visiter les Cinque Terre et une partie de la Toscane, ou ne rien faire, installé au frais dans le salon de jardin ombragé ou sur un transat au soleil ou même dans le jacuzzi. Avec le chant des cigales comme musique de fond ! Le paradis ! L'Aia est un lieu parfait avec des hôtes parfaits ! A recommander chaudement ! Il s'agit pour nous d'une très belle rencontre dont nous souviendrons toute notre vie. Grazie mille per tutto Antonio e Fabiana ! Siamo felice d'avere incontrarvi. A presto, speriamo !

Excellent séjour à Ortonovo avec un très bel accueil des propriétaires, hôtes discrets et prévenants. La maison est partagée entre deux espaces (nuit avec deux belles chambres et deux salles de bains) et jour avec cuisine très bien équipée et espace détente (jacuzzi ,bains de soleil...etc). Le logement est situé un peu à l'écart mais assez proche de nombreux lieux à voir absolument (Carrare, Cinque Terre, Porto Venere, Pise, Lucques...etc), ce qui permet de varier les plaisirs entre visites et moments de repos.

A DIFFERENT ASPECT OF TUSCANY. THIS IS A WARM AND INVITING HOME.

We have truly enjoyed our stay here and I highly recommend it. This was our first trip to Tuscany and indeed our first house rental anywhere outside of the U.S. We had no idea of what to expect. The location is beautiful. It isn't exactly as I had pictured it in reading about it online and from reading other reviews, but it is beautiful. The property itself could not be lovelier. There are many olive trees, there are abundant flowers, there are hedges that provide privacy. In fact the privacy afforded is a real highlight. You can see that they really paid attention to that aspect. Fabiana and Antonio were wonderful hosts! Warm, welcoming and gracious. They speak very little English however, so, it would be a good idea to brush up on your Italian before coming. Or, at the very least, keep your phrase book handy! Just know that you won't be able to communicate in English. We were not expecting that. The road leading to the property is kind of scary with several blind curves. Just be aware and drive carefully. There is a very narrow, quite long, gated driveway leading to the house. You will either have to back out of the driveway when you leave or become good at "back and fill" turn arounds. For our arrival Fabiana had prepared several wonderful snacks for us. In fact, it was enough for us to breakfast and supper on for three days! It was all marvelous. Cheeses, grapes, oranges, lemons, panettone, bruschetta, bread, cookies, olive oil, teas and coffee, wine and even Prosecco! The kitchen and living area are in separate parts of the home from the bedrooms. You need to go out side to access the kitchen/family room. It is nice in that it provides privacy. The kitchen had all the pots and pans and silverware and dishes that one needs to make a fairly extensive meal. One of our main reasons for choosing the Villetta Gardenia was the fact that they had a king size bed! In fact, they have one in each of the two bedrooms! The bathrooms were good sized (except the WC) and the shower was excellent. Although we did run out of hot water a couple of times. Be aware if a lot of you are showering. One thing that was kind of irritating was the wifi. It is provided by means of a hotspot. It was very erratic and in fact did not work most of the time. I assume that it is because of the local cell tower as our cell phones did not receive data well either. This was a wonderful experience for us and I highly recommend the Villetta Gardenia!

Superbe location proche des "Cinque Terre"

Nous avons passé un séjour formidable à la villa de Fabiana et Antonio. La maison est superbe, très agréable et aménagée avec beaucoup de goût (c'est encore mieux en vrai que sur les photos), très bien équipée et d'une propreté irréprochable. Le jardin est très agréable et très bien entretenu par Antonio. Beaucoup de terrasses aménagées pour les différents moments de la journée, pour d'agréables petits déjeuners, apéros, dîners .... avec une magnifique vue. Le super jacuzzi pour se relaxer au retour de nos visites a été très apprécié. Nos hôtes Fabiana et Antonio sont très accueillants et sympathiques, très serviables et discrets. L'assortiment d'antipasti et de primi confectionnés par Fabiana pour notre arrivée étaient excellents. De plus la région est magnifique: Pise, Lucca, Les Cinque Terre avec leurs magnifiques villages colorés .... le tout en moto, c'était superbe ! En résumé d'excellentes vacances ! Nous y reviendrons ...

Ruhiges Anwesen mit herrlicher Aussicht

Im April 2017 waren wir (2 Erwachsene, 2 Kinder) eine Woche bei Antonio un Fabiana zu Gast. Auf dem Anwesen haben wir in einem schönen Haus auf drei Etagen gewohnt. Alles ist liebevoll und sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Auf den oberen beiden Etagen befinden sich je 1 Schlafzimmer mit Doppelbett, je 1 Bad sowie 1x Sauna und 1x Balkon. Im unteren Bereich ist die gut ausgestattete Küche mit Essbereich. Im Garten davor hat es eine gedeckte Lounge, einen Whirlpool (war bei uns leider nicht in Betrieb, wahrscheinlich nur im Sommer benutzbar), Liegestühle und eine Gartendusche. Am Abend hat es lange Sonne. Von der oberen Terrasse aus geniesst man eine herrliche Aussicht. Das ganze Anwesen liegt sehr ruhig und etwas abgeschieden, terrassiert in Hanglage, umgeben mit mediterranen Bäumen. Unserer Meinung nach braucht es ein Auto, es hätte zwar eine Bushaltestelle in der Nähe, in der Region mit dem öffentlichen Verkehr zu reisen, ist jedoch sehr umständlich. Die Gastgeber wohnen auch auf dem Anwesen direkt nebenan, was aber nur zu unserem Vorteil war. Der Kühlschrank war bei unserer Ankunft mit vielen, teils selbstgemachten Leckereien gefüllt, der Tisch gedeckt. Antonio und Fabiana haben sich familiär-freundlich um uns vier gekümmert, haben bei Bedarf rasch geholfen und waren trotzdem zuvorkommend diskret. Es hat uns sehr gut gefallen und wir können das Anwesen und die Gastgeber gerne empfehlen!
