Sarzana, Cinque Terre – Liguria, Italy

Comfortably sleeping two to nine people, this exclusive Noble Villa, is set in a privileged position on the hillside of the Medieval picturesque village of Sarzana, between Liguria and Tuscany, just a stone’s throw from the Cinque Terre’s fishing villages and nature reserve.

Built in 1897 by Cav. Emilio Mosconi, to be used during the summer and until San Martino, Patron Saint of Sarzanello, who is also called the Parish church, subsequently became (after the Second World War), the home of the family Furter Magni Griffi, until the death of the mother of current owners, in 2012.

Until then, the property has remained unchanged in style and furnishings and recently has been partially restored to provide guests with some extra comfort without disturbing the original plant and destination of the house.

The peculiarity of this home is just its story! Guests will feel like returning to the early twentieth century by enjoying the conveniences of the present. For this reason, there is just one television in the house but only a wi-fi connection. Guests have the opportunity to prepare tea or coffee, to savor in the dining room or the adjacent garden, perhaps accompanied by reading a good book.

On the first floor, the balcony affords superb views, which embrace the whole valley to the shimmering waters of the Mediterranean sea.

The beautiful large bedrooms offer privacy to the guests and every room affords wonderfully relaxing views of the garden and the vast panorama in the background.

The property is surrounded by a delightful park with palms and Mediterranean trees.
