In the municipal area there is the possibility to visit ancient bridges and roads from the Roman era and also you can admire a Roman refueling station and tavern, a rare thing because there are few finds of such works along the Roman roads, in this case along the Via Aurelia.

Sehr schönes Appartement, in angenehmer ruhiger Altstadtlage, mit schönem Blick auf die „Bergstädtchen“. Kleiner Garten, in dem man schön frühstücken kann. Es gibt saisonbedingt Schnaken. In der Wohnung sind Fliegengitter, die sind top!! Carlo ist sehr bemüht, seine Gäste zufriedenzustellen! Alles sehr gepflegt!
Wir waren jetzt im September zwei Wochen in dieser Wohnung und haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Wir wurden gut empfangen und alle Örtlichkeiten gezeigt. Die Wohnung war gemütlich und sauber. In der Küche war alles zu finden was man brauchte. Auch im Garten mit den drei Terrassen war angenehm mit einer Aussicht über das Tal und die nächsten Ortschaften. Die meisten Wege haben wir mit Busse und Bahn gemacht,, was sehr angenehm war. Wir würden auch einmal wieder kommen.
Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt in Ligurien sehr genossen. Carlo war ein toller Gastgeber, der uns mit zahlreichen Tipps zur Verfügung stand. Die Wohnung entspricht der Beschreibung und den Bilder. Besonders hervorzuheben ist die Sauberkeit und die ruhige Lage. Ich kann die Wohnung nur weiterempfehlen, wenn die Fahrt bis zur nächst größeren Hauptstraße nicht stört. Vielen Dank Carlo es war uns ein Vergnügen

Thanks Rebecca for the nice comment. So much care in the care of household things is rewarded by the thoughts that the various guests write. It was also a pleasure for me to have you as a customer. The apartment was in excellent condition when you left. Thanks again!
Danke Rebecca für den netten Kommentar. So viel Sorgfalt bei der Pflege von Haushaltsgegenständen wird durch die Gedanken belohnt, die die verschiedenen Gäste schreiben. Es war mir auch eine Freude, Sie als Kunden zu haben. Die Wohnung war in ausgezeichnetem Zustand, als Sie abreisten. Nochmals vielen Dank!
Grazie Rebecca per il bel commento. Tanto impegno nella cura delle cose di casa è ripagato dai pensieri che scrivono i vari ospiti. E' stato un piacere anche per me avervi come clienti. L'appartamento era in ottimo stato quando siete andati via. Grazie ancora!
Wir schließen uns den Beurteilungen unserer Vorgänger an. Die Wohnung ist sauber, sehr gut ausgestattet und abseits der touristischen Massen. Auch zu viert haben wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Wir haben zusätzlich zu den bereits genannten Zielen einen Abstecher auf den Monte Alpe (ca. 1000m) gemacht, wo wir über viele Silberdisteln gestaunt haben. Die Einwohner des Ortes und Carlo waren sehr nett zu uns. Carlo spricht gut Englisch.

Danke Angela für die nette Bewertung. Wir haben uns sehr gefreut, Sie bei uns begrüßen zu dürfen. Das große Engagement, die großartige Arbeit, sowohl innerhalb als auch außerhalb des Hauses, macht endlich große Freude. Es war eine wahre Freude!
Thanks Angela for the nice evaluation. It was a pleasure to host you, we found ourselves very well. The great commitment, the great work, both inside and outside the home, is finally giving great satisfaction. It was a real pleasure!
Grazie Angela per la bella valutazione. E' stato un piacere ospitarvi, ci siamo trovati molto bene. Il grande impegno, il tanto lavoro, fuori e dentro casa, sta finalmente regalando delle belle soddisfazioni. E' stato un vero piacere!
Wir waren zu zweit eine Woche in der oberen, wunderschönen Wohnung und haben uns dort sehr wohl gefühlt. Sie ist mit einem liebevollen und gekonnten Mix aus Antiquitäten von Carlos Vorfahren wie auch schönen Ikea-Möbeln ausgestattet und war sehr sauber. Auch zu viert wäre die obere Wohnung groß genug. Die Küche ist für Selbstversorger sehr gut ausgestattet. Miniabzug: keine Spülmaschine, aber das ist Jammern auf hohem Niveau. Die Kommunikation mit Carlo bereits vor dem Urlaub lief hervorragend. Die Begrüßung samt leckerem Wein und Focaccia klasse! Er ist ein sehr hilfsbereiter, engagierter, warmherziger Gastgeber, der einen aber auch in Ruhe zu lassen weiß, wenn man ohne seine Ausflugstipps klar kommt. Die Lage in dem ruhigen Bergdorf mit Apotheke, kleinem Supermarkt, Bar, Metzger und Bäcker in der Nähe ist erholsam und praktisch. In kurzer Zeit erreicht man den Bahnhof in Sestri Levante, von dem man am besten per Bahn die traumhafte Revieraküste erkundet. Wir haben Wanderungen im Cinque Terre (je fitter man ist und höher läuft, desto weniger Touristen!), Bootsausflüge (Portofino, San Fruttuoso, Camogli) und auch den Strand in Sestri Levante genossen. Abends saßen wir gern im gepflegten Garten und haben die Aussicht zu den anderen Dörfern geliebt. Ein bißchen haben dabei die kleinen Lampen gestört, die durch Bewegungsmelder oft angingen. Insgesamt können wir Carlos Haus und die ligurische Küste sehr empfehlen. Wir sagen danke und kommen gerne mal wieder!

Petra e Stefan sono stati degli ospiti perfetti. Rispettosi delle regole della casa e della pace del nostro antico borgo. Inoltre hanno lasciato l'appartamento in condizioni perfette. Sono stati sempre cordiali e gentili. Li consigliamo assolutamente a tutti come ospiti e speriamo comunque di rivederli presto.
Petra und Stefan waren perfekte Gäste. Respektvoll den Regeln des Hauses und der Ruhe unseres alten Dorfes. Sie verließen auch die Wohnung in einwandfreiem Zustand. Sie waren immer freundlich und nett. Wir empfehlen sie allen als Gäste und hoffen, sie bald wieder zu sehen.
Gemütliche, saubere Ferienwohnung in den Bergen, nicht weit vom Meer
Castiglione Chiavarese befindet sich in den Bergen und ist ca. 20 Autominuten vom Strand entfernt. Die Wohnung ist wie in den vorherigen Beschreibungen sehr gemütlich eingerichtet, alles neu und sehr sauber. Die Küche ist hervorragend ausgestattet. Wir wurden mit kulinarischen Kostbarkeiten der Region empfangen. Der Gastgeber Carlo ist sehr freundlich, zurückhaltend, war telefonisch immer erreichbar und ist auf unsere Anliegen sofort eingegangen.
Wir haben alle Mahlzeiten im Garten eingenommen und konnten die schöne Aussicht ins Tal genießen. Der gepflegte Garten verfügt über unterschiedlichste Sitzgelegenheiten und Gartenduschen. Wir können die Oase abseits der Hektik auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen.

La maison est exactement comme la description, elle est très agréable. Les jardins sont parfaits pour les dîners ou les après midi farnientes. A proximité de la mer, de la montagne de toutes commodites. Endroit paradisiaque reposant à refaire.

Logement bien équipé et rénové avec soin
Le logement est dans les montagnes, à 15min de Sestri Levante et donc isolé de l'agitation que l'on peut avoir dans les grandes villes.Bien équipé dans l'ensemble et tres propre.L'espace extérieur est très sympa mais difficilement exploitable car pas d'accès direct au logement.Carlo a été accueillant et est resté discret le reste du séjour.Manquait un sechoir à linge dans le logement,élément indispensable au revenir de la plage ou pour faire des machines (Carlo nous a d'ailleurs permis d'en faire tourner une chez lui,dans l'appartement du dessous).L'accès au logement se fait par de nombreuses marches (à savoir quand on a des enfants en bas âge).Très bon séjour à Castiglione Chiavarese.

Merci. Ce fut un plaisir de vous accueillir dans notre résidence. À bientôt!

Grazie. È stato un piacere ospitarvi nella nostra residenza. A presto!
Carlo.
.. Nous vous remercions de votre excellente réponse en vacances et de notre maison. Juste une clarification pour les futurs invités.
Notre maison peut être louée de différentes manières, y compris la villa entière. Dans le cas de la location du rez-de-chaussée et de l'ensemble de la villa, l'accès à l'espace extérieur est garanti directement depuis l'intérieur de la propriété, au lieu de louer l'appartement au premier étage pour accéder à l'espace extérieur équipé. Marchez les dix marches de l'escalier d'accès extérieur et entrez dans le jardin depuis l'allée intérieure du centre historique.
... Vi ringraziamo per la vostra ottima risposta sulla vacanza e sulla nostra casa. Solo una precisazione per i futuri ospiti.
La nostra casa si puo' affittare in vari modi, anche l'intera villa. Nel cao di affitto del pianterreno ed anche dell'intera villa l'accesso all'area esterna è garantito direttamente dall'interno della proprietà, nel caso invece di affitto dell'appartamento al primo piano per raggiungere l'area esterna attrezzata occorre, invece, percorrere i dieci gradini della scala esterna di accesso ed entrare poi nel giardino dal vicolo interno del centro storico.
