It’s bin the best vacation, on the perfect location. The host where so nice - the fridge where full when we arrive. Antonio took us to the best bakery and vinery. Booked a table for us, at the best local restaurant. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. The surroundings where beautiful. We can only recommend it for a family trip.

In einem Olivenhain gelegenes, wunderschönes gepflegtes Haus mit wunderschönen Ausblick. Wer etwas Ruhe haben will, ist hier genau richtig. In die Stadt oder an den Strand sind es nur 15-20 Minuten. Bei Ankunft wurden wir herzlich empfangen und der Kühlschrank war mit Köstlichkeiten gefüllt. Fabiana und Antonio waren die besten Gastgeber die wir je hatten. Nur zu Empfehlen !!

Wir haben die Gastfreundschaft von Fabiana und Antonio sehr genossen, die uns nach langer Anreise mit italienischen Köstlichkeiten und einem gefüllten Kühlschrank empfangen hatten. Wir erhielten immer tolle Tipps für Unternehmungen und Restaurants. Das Haus liegt etwas abseits, dafür wird man mit einem atemberaubenden Blick belohnt. Das Haus selbst ist sehr gepflegt und es ist alles da was man braucht.

A taste of paradise in the beautiful Italian countryside
A taste of paradise in the beautiful Italian countryside
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Antonio and Fabiana's beautiful home. They were the perfect hosts and the villa and grounds were very tranquil with stunning views - we enjoyed being away from the crowds but within easy reach of the Cinque Terre and lovely Italian towns such as Pisa and Lucca, not to mention the sweet little town of Ortonovo itself. We arrived in the early evening and were greeted by our hosts and a delicious spread of tasty treats prepared by Fabiana. The beautiful, well equipped kitchen/sitting room which led onto the garden was also stocked with breakfast items which was a very thoughtful touch and a nice surprise. As a family of 4 adults the accommodation worked perfectly for us with one bedroom and ensuite upstairs and one downstairs. We really wished we could have stayed longer and definitely hope to return.

the perfect place to get away from the hectic life. all the rest and privacy in the middle of the olive trees and still only a few minutes walk to the nice village Castelnuovo Magra. if you like sun and sea... it's there. if you like hiking ... it's there. if you like culture, architecture and romantic walks, villages and susets.... it's there. this all with a very friendly host gives you the perfect vacation in one of the most beautiful areas of Italy ... and other countries. thanks for a vacation never to forget....

Der Aufenthalt in der Villa war sehr schön. Alle Zimmer sind sehr liebevoll eingerichtet, man fühlt sich sofort wohl. Sehr sauber!! Bei der Ankunft war der Kühlschrank gefüllt mit italienischen Köstlichkeiten. Toll!!! Die Verständigung war etwas schwierig, die Eigentümer verstehen fast kein Englisch. Leider benötigt man für jegliche Unternehmung das Auto. Zu einem schönen Strand ist man mindestens eine halbe Stunde mit dem Auto unterwegs.

La location parfaite (THE perfect renting) ! Nous avons été accueillis par Antonio, Fabiana et leurs petits chiens Coco et Lino (très bien éduqués, on ne les entend pas !). L'Aia, jolie maison située au calme au milieu de la petite oliveraie qui entoure le jardin. Antonio nous a fait visité les lieux : deux chambres meublées avec soin et goût (avec le fameux lit matrimonial cher aux italiens), lumineuses, confortables et climatisée avec vue sur le jardin et petite terrasse pour l'une et vue sur la mer au loin l'autre. Les salles de bain sont impeccables et le linge de toilette de qualité est fourni en quantité. La pièce à vivre est spacieuse, remplie de lumière, chaleureuse et climatisée avec une cuisine bien équipée tant en vaisselle qu'en ustensiles. Nous avons été particulièrement charmés par les attentions de nos hôtes : le frigo était rempli non seulement de yaourts, mozzarella, fromages, beurre, oeufs, lait, jus de fruit, charcuterie, mais surtout de plein de délicieux plats préparés maison par Fabiana (nous nous sommes régalés tous mes 4 pendant 2 repas). La table était joliment dressée, avec du pain frais en quantité, du vin,... Quel accueil merveilleux ! Antonio nous a invité pour l'apéritif à boire le fameux "spritz" et finalement, ils nous ont convié à partager leur dîner, en compagnie de leurs trois convives invités ce soir là. Quelle belle soirée nous avons passée en leur compagnie !!! Nous nous sommes régalés (et sommes en plus repartis avec du pesto fait maison, un délice goûté le lendemain !) mais nous avons surtout fait une belle rencontre. Nous nous sommes débrouillés tous entre l'italien, le français et l'anglais (ah Antonio et ses onomatopées, ses bruitages, ses mimes !) et nous nous sommes parfaitement compris et amusés ! Quelle soirée ! Le chaleureux accueil d'Antonio et Fabiana est exceptionnel (je n'ai jamais connu cela ailleurs), mais ils sont également des hôtes extrêmement discrets en journée. Le lieu est très bien placé pour visiter les Cinque Terre et une partie de la Toscane, ou ne rien faire, installé au frais dans le salon de jardin ombragé ou sur un transat au soleil ou même dans le jacuzzi. Avec le chant des cigales comme musique de fond ! Le paradis ! L'Aia est un lieu parfait avec des hôtes parfaits ! A recommander chaudement ! Il s'agit pour nous d'une très belle rencontre dont nous souviendrons toute notre vie. Grazie mille per tutto Antonio e Fabiana ! Siamo felice d'avere incontrarvi. A presto, speriamo !
