About this property

Beautiful restored country house near Portofino and beaches, 2-4 sleeps

Il Casone is an original Ligurian country house from the 18th century, tastefully restored by its French-German owner in spring 2006. The 2-storied building in the midst of olive groves, looking over green slopes and at a baroque church has two independant units: the here described Piano Sportivo with 2-4 sleeps at the rear of the building with a little terrace and a patio and in the front of the house the unit Piano Nobile. at the rear on the second floor (2-4 sleeps) with a little terrace and a patio. Thus apt for a maximum of 8 persons (XXL family or friends who want to enjoy holidays toghether, but stay in their own apartments.
To reach Il Casone you have to leave your safely parked car at the mainroad and climb up on an old paved stonepath for about 5 minutes. This may be a little bit annoying at first sight, but you will see: it´s a stairway to heaven!
The fully fenced property is surrounded by 850 m2 of 'fasce' with typically Ligurian dry walls, seecular olive trees and various fruit-trees.
The country house ' Il Casone ' is ideal for a sporty-active vacation, but also for who desires relax and contemplation. Cooking addicted people can prepare their own Pesto with in-house basil. At (rare!) rainy days the well equipped library lures with books in different languages. Feel free to feel at home in this enchanting 'coin' of Liguria is the wish of the house owner, a French German travel journalist, who has prepared for her guests a lot of inside-information for unforgettable holidays.
To the nature park Portofino, a paradise for hikers and mountain bikers or to the untouched Fontanabuona valley it is only a cat's jump. Bargain hunters of antiques have a look at the antique markets of Chiavari, Genoa and Sarzana. Designer labels with ridiculous low prices can be found in the Outlet of Serravalle (north of Genoa) and Brugnato (south of Rapallo). Daily tours in the Cinque Terre and to the pearls of the gulf of La Spezia can be done comfortably by train or by ship. The culinary capital of Liguria, the small town of Recco, is to be reached in 10 minutes by car. And of course Genoa, in 2004 European cultural capital, with its fascinating Old Town and its Palazzi recently become UNESCO-world heritage. And why not explore Nizza and Cannes on the nearby Cote d´Azur. And don’t forget the Day-Spa in the the Hotel Excelsior Palace *****in Rapallo or in the Grand Hotel Miramare ***** in Santa Margherita.

A little paradise
I booked the small Appartement in the first floor. Short time later i recieved a message from the owner saying that it is under construction but she will upgrade us for free to the Appartement with the garden. That was the first positiv surprise. We had a very warm welcome and Davide, son of the owner helped us with carrying the luggage etc. We had a very beautiful time there. I just loved the house, the decoration and the super beautiful garden. My dog also enjoyed her time in the garden:-) All in all, i can highly recommand this place to anyone who loves a cosy and beautiful place💜

10 Tage glücklicher Familienurlaub
Wir haben den Urlaub in der Wohnung und dem tollen Grundstück sehr genossen! Hund konnte im Grundstück frei laufen… Alles war da und wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Traumhafte Lage! Die Kinder waren begeistert von Glühwürmchen, Dachs und Wildschwein! Auch Strand und Stadtausflüge waren kein Problem.

What makes this property unique

Privacy amidst unspoilt nature though close to all the beaches of the Italian Riviera, the picturesque towns and villages such as Portofino.
