About this property

A corner of paradise surrounded by nature in the Ligurian hinterland

Casa Lesina, a traditional Ligurian country house located in Castellaro, is in an enviable mid-hill position, overlooking the Val Fontanabuona from where it dominates the valley, immersed in the green of the surrounding woods rich in local fauna and flora and surrounded by vegetable gardens, olive groves and orchards.
Comfortable and silent, it can be reached by a comfortable asphalted municipal road just 2 km away from the hamlet of Calvari below, where there are shops, banks, post office, restaurants and pizzerias.
The apartment is located on the top floor of the house and can accommodate 4/6 people. We rent for minimum stays of 7 days; for a number of guests less than 4 and for periods of less than one week of stay we reserve the confirmation of availability (see section Rates & Availability / Notes).
The rooms are two, both with double bed, large and bright and a sofa bed is available for two other guests.
Lots of equipped outdoor space, all around the house.
The kitchen is large and equipped,
The bathroom has a shower and washing machine, a large table, television and comfortable sofa in the dining / living room.
A third bedroom is under construction and will be available shortly.
Excellent and free WiFi connection.
Private covered parking space reserved for guests.
It is an excellent base for various excursions: 15 km from the most beautiful beaches of the Ligurian Riviera di Levante and close to the splendid seaside towns of Portofino, Santa Margherita Ligure, Camogli, Sestri Levante and the magnificent 5 Terre.
Genoa provincial capital, can be easily reached both by car and by bus.
Paths start from Casa Lesina to Mount Ramaceto, the Aveto Park, the Agoraie Nature Reserve and connect to the Alta Via dei Monti Liguri.
For walkers there are trekking possibilities for all needs as well as for mountain bike cyclists who can choose between routes of varying difficulty on the paths of the hills and the easier route of the "Ardesia Cycle Route" which unfolds flat along the banks of the Lavagna stream, crossing the pleasant villages of the Val Fontanabuona, up to the mouth of the Entella in the center of the Gulf of Tigullio, between the renowned towns of Chiavari and Lavagna.
In addition, in the nearby Calvari airfield it is possible to practice paragliding, hang gliding and other light aircraft.
In the surrounding municipalities there are small but interesting museums on culture, peasant craftsmanship and local archeology, we mention a few:
Archaeological Museum of Fontanabuona - at the seat of the municipality of Cicagna;
Peasant Museum in Calvari;
Damascus and history of the territory museum in Lorsica;
"Casa Giannini" Emigrant Museum in Favale di Malvaro;
Musel - Integrated museum system of Sestri Levante and Castiglione Chiavarese, two exhibition centers, designed to offer the visitor a rich and articulated narration of the history of the Tigullio territory and the Sestri Levante valleys.
Weekly farmers organize markets for the direct sale of their typical agricultural products.

Great pleasure
There are already enough positive reviews about this beautiful house and the generosity of its hosts. I can only endorse them. The only thing I'd like to add is that if you decide to go, bring over a book of Francesco Biamonti. It will help you to better see (and enjoy) the constant change of light in the mountains of Liguria and that of the sea.

Erholung pur!
Wir haben mit 3 Kindern und unserem Hund hier wundervolle Tage verbringen dürfen. Nicht nur dass die Unterkunft sehr gemütlich war und es an absolut nichts gefehlt hat, auch Sofia und Stefano als Gastgeber sind wunderbar. Wir erhielten überall Hilfe und Tips für unsere Freizeitgestaltung. Wir würden diese Unterkunft immer wieder blind buchen und wären uns sicher dass alles wieder so wäre wie wir uns das Wünschen würden. Vielen lieben Dank an Sofia und Stefano für eine wumderbar erholsame Zeit!!

Tolle Wohnung mit wunderschöner Aussicht mitten in der Natur
Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt! Wir haben u. a. Ausflüge gemacht um hier nur einige zu nennen: Chiavari, Cavi di Lavagna zum Baden, Genua mit dem Zug von Chiavari aus, zweimal Sestri Levante (da es dort so schön war), Camogli, Santa Margherita Ligure und eine größere Wanderung auf den Monte Ramaceto. Am Haus kann man sich wunderbar erholen und erlebt den Kontrast zur Küste. Das Einkaufen (z. B. in Carasco) sollte man aufgrund der Lage mit den Ausflügen verbinden. Die Vermieter Stefano und Sofia sind sehr nett und man ist Herzlich Willkommen und kann sich jederzeit Tipps holen. Danke für die schöne Zeit!

sehr herzliche gastgeber
wir hatten den eindruck zu freunden zu kommen und die herzlichkeit hat nie nachgelassen . die lage ist atemberaubend mit dem blick auf die berge . die anfahrt ist am ersten tag etwas schwierig , aber sofia hat uns fotos geschickt wie man fahren soll . leider kamen wir über die berge (würde ich nicht wieder machen ),nächstes mal würde ich vorher sofias anweisungen lesen . wir waren in genua ( wunderschön ) , rapollo und lavagna und jeder ausflug hat sich gelohnt . die wohnung hat wirklich alles was man braucht :einen schönen aussenplatz , gut augestattete küche , schöne schlafzimmer und immer heißes wasser . wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt
