About this property
Romantic cottage with private spa and breathtaking sunsets
„La Fontana in Liguria“ - Ligurian dolce vita with a wild touch. Feel the centuries in this fully renovated farmhouse with a charming yet contemporary feel. Choose your favourite terrace for enchanting views of the valley and the mysterious mountains beyond... and settle into this rustic space.
The guesthouse is part of a fully renovated ancient farmhouse. It used to be the drying chamber ("essiccatoio") where chestnuts, a staple of traditional Ligurian cuisine, were roasted. On the ground floor is a kitchenette/living room with a wood stove for added cosiness and a spacious bathroom with a view of the valley. On the first floor, the snug bedroom tempts even our most active guests to sleep in.
On chillier evenings or after a long day trekking in the Cinque Terre, relax in the delightful, fully equipped hammam (Turkish sauna).
Guests have complete access to the grounds, including the vegetable and herb garden and the orchard (cherries, nashis, grapes, chestnuts, etc.), as well as the terraces. Choose your favourite spot to dine, chill or work and enjoy the ever-changing views depending on the season and the time of day - or simply your mood.
