IL GIARDINO Set on a typical inland hill in the area which stretches from Lerici (10kms) to the "Cinque Terre" (Riomaggiore 20kms), this holiday location is a 7 hectare farm with olive groves and vineyards, 1km from the small village of Vezzano. The farm produces an exquisite DOP "Riviera Ligure di Levante" olive oil and a DOC Vermentino wine, "Colli di Luni".
The property constitutes a small hamlet: the main 18th century country house with late 19th century embellishments, a delightful chapel, late 17th century farm outbuildings and farmers cottages which now hold three apartments. The houses, of various sizes, reflect the original structure and display typical Liguria country-style elements with their colourful walls and Arte Povera furnishings.
The farm is set in a quiet and undisturbed location and ensures the utmost peace and tranquillity. Off the main road which leads to the town, the small country lane to the farm, flanked by characteristic stone walls, requires guests to drive slowly and carefully.
Guest amenities include an above-ground swimming pool (10 x 5 m. - open May/Sept.) in the garden behind the villa. The town of La Spezia and the particularly interesting area around it (Lerici, Fiascherino, Tellaro, Portovenere) is 7kms away. The "Cinque Terre" can be reached easily by train from La Spezia.
Lerici 10kms, La Spezia 6kms, Cinque Terre 20kms, A12 motorway La Spezia exit 3kms.
