About this property
Historic House With Stunning Mountain Views in the heart of the village
Charming 500 year old townhouse on 4 levels. The property is south facing and gets the sun all year round, yet in the summer the thick walls keep it lovely and cool after a day in the sun. On the ground floor is the modern, extremely well-equipped, kitchen/dining-room with beautiful vaulted ceiling. A bedroom with 3 beds and a modern bathroom with shower is on the second floor. On the third floor is the master bedroom with double bed and stunning views. On the top floor is the bright, sunny living room where the views get even better! One can gaze out at night and see the village of Castel Vittorio seemingly suspended in the air. The living room has a large comfortable sofa .and a smart TV. It has a cathedral ceiling and french doors leading onto two small balconies. The house is very quaint but has all the mod cons for your comfort. The property has rare vehicle access close to the front door for unloading and there is parking 100m away. It is very private but a minute's walk away from two fantastic restaurants and a charming bar. We have central heating making the house lovely and cosy for those winter nights.
There are two grocery shops within very short walking distance and a very popular pizzeria. A well renowned restaurant is within 15/20 minutes walking.

About the host
Hosted by Gillian
My Husband and I and our family live in the North-East of England. We worked in education for years but now work part-time and combine this with lots of different projects! My husband is a musician and inventor and I am an ex-dancer who still teaches dance and exercise classes. We love to connect with people from all over the world and share our love of Pigna and Italy with others.
Why they chose this property
I always say the house chose us as I came across it whilst looking on the internet for a holiday in France! We loved Italy but had only ever been to Lake Garda and Rome. I couldn't get the house out of my head and was very pleasantly surprised when my husband didn't think I was completely crazy when I told him about it.
Considering it was a completely impulsive decision we have never regretted it. Although we had never heard of Liguria we have completely taken it to our hearts and have made many friends. The location is fantastic and the scenery beautiful and unique. Ancient villages cling to the mountains where the locals keep the traditions and customs alive. We are in a mountain location but have the best of both worlds as the beaches of both the French and Italian Rivieras are so close. You can practise both your French and Italian!

What makes this property unique
The house was previously owned by a couple who completely renovated it from an abandoned building. We still have many of the charming features (and furniture) that they introduced but we have added our personality to it too. We added balconies to further make the most of the beautiful views and really open up the top room and recently added a beautiful new kitchen and opened up the space. The house is in the centre of the village yet feels very private. In the summer when the beaches are busy we don't even have to leave Pigna. There are beautiful swimming lakes which are very refreshing and they are extremely relaxing to spend a day by. However in the winter when swimming is not possible we are so close to lots of interesting places that it is perfect for an all year round holiday. We still have so much left to see. It can be a totally relaxing holiday or an active holiday as there are great walks and tennis courts.
