About the host
Hosted by Giorgio Sivori
After almost 40 years working with international companies and people from many different countries, I still enjoy meeting people from around the world. Hosting at Villa L'Antica Torre gives me the pleasure of continuing to have this international contact while sharing a place and a region that are very special to me and my family.
We spend the summer in our separate family house on the property, and I am at Velva very frequently throughout the year. I enjoy welcoming our guests personally whenever possible, helping them discover the area and being available if they need anything, while always respecting their privacy and independence.
Why they chose this property
Velva offers something that is becoming increasingly rare: peace, nature and the atmosphere of an authentic Ligurian village, away from crowded tourist areas. We love the green valley, the surrounding mountains, the old stone paths and the views stretching towards the sea. At the same time, the coast and its beaches are within easy reach, as are some of Liguria's most famous destinations, including Cinque Terre and Portofino. Here our guests can enjoy both sides of Liguria: its quiet, genuine countryside and its spectacular Riviera.
What makes this property unique
What makes Villa L'Antica Torre truly special is the combination of character, space and privacy. Its ancient tower gives the house a unique identity, while the three floors, seven bedrooms, six bathrooms, four terraces and large private garden offer plenty of room even for a large group.
Guests can enjoy being together around the long outdoor tables, under the gazebos or by the barbecue, while still having many quiet corners where they can read, relax or simply enjoy the surrounding nature.
It is this balance – a large house for sharing memorable moments together, with enough space for everyone to feel comfortable and independent – that makes Villa L'Antica Torre unique.
