Wir haben in Jennifers Haus 10 Tage im Juli verbracht. Das Haus ist geräumig und mediteran eingerichtet. Jennifer ist sehr herzlich, freundlich und hilfsbereit, war immer erreichbar und sehr bemüht. Es war sehr heiß, daher war der Ab- und Aufstieg zum Haus sehr mühsam.Es sind zu Fuß doch fast 25 Minuten zum Strand, in die Stadt, zum ersten Geschäft ca. 10 bis 15 Minuten. Chiavari hat einen tollen Markt und ausreichend Angebot an netten Bäckereien, Lokalen etc..und es ist ganz und gar ich touristisch, was toll ist. Das Meer ist glasklar, sowohl an der Promenade als auch in Lavagna. Die Strände waren fast nur durch Einheimische besucht und das auch nicht stark. Wir haben uns einen Schirm gekauft und waren immer an den freien Stränden. Uns hat es gut gefallen, einzig, die Entfernung Haus-Strand sollte man bei Hitze mit dem Auto bewältigen, vor allem mit Hund und Badeschlapfen ist der Aufstieg im Hochsommer schweisstreibend. Also Workout inklusive! Turnschuhe nicht vergessen!-))

La Casa Bianca est l’endroit idéal pour passer d’excellentes vacances en Italie. Jennifer, la propriétaire, est particulièrement charmante. Des petites surprises gustatives nous attendaient à notre arrivée. L’endroit est très bien placé : au milieu des oliviers, avec un très grand domaine pour les enfants et à deux pas du centre (idéal pour prendre le train). Bref : je recommande !!!!

Casa Bianca ist genau so, wie es beschrieben wurde: Es liegt mitten im ruhigen Olivenhain und trotzdem kann man innerhalb von 15 Minuten zu Fuß (auch mit Kinderbuggy) in die Innenstadt nach Chiavari gehen. Dort gibt es zahlreiche Restaurants, Cafés und Geschäfte. Vom Haus aus hat man einen wunderbaren Blick auf die gegenüberliegenden Berge. Abends und nachts ist es ein romantisches Lichtermeer. Es gibt mehrere Möglichkeiten draußen zu sitzen. Im April blühte der Jasmin und duftete herrlich. Es gibt vier Schlafzimmer: drei im Obergeschoss und eins im Erdgeschoss. Jennifer ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Im Haus standen schon Öl, Wein, Essig und selbstgemachte Marmelade bereit. Auf dem Grundstück gibt es noch ein Rasenspielfeld, auf dem man z.B. Fußball spielen kann. Jennifer hat dieses Feld extra für uns frisch mähen lassen. Das gesamte Grundstück ist umzäunt. Kinder können dort frei spielen.

La casa offre molti servizi specialmente per i bambini, ci siamo trovati molto bene, è stato un piacevole soggiorno

Siamo stati ospiti di Casa Bianca dal 29 dicembre al 2 gennaio. La casa è esattamente come appare dalla foto. Pulita, accogliente, nel nostro caso anche adeguatamente riscaldata, perfetta per il nostro gruppo (otto amici amanti del trekking) come punto di partenza delle nostre camminate nel Tigullio e nelle Cinque Terre. Jennifer è stata precisa e puntuale e ci ha riservato tutte le attenzioni che aveva promesso: legna per il camino, un assaggio di vino e olio, la casa riscaldata al nostro arrivo. Abbiamo trascorso cinque giorni perfetti, le attrezzature della casa ci hanno permesso di cucinare senza problemi per otto persone e di goderci tutto il meritato relax dopo i trekking davanti al camino acceso.

Pêle-mêle, nous avons apprécié : l'emplacement de la maison au milieu des oliviers tout en étant proche de la mer et des magnifiques sites environnants. La gentillesse et l'originalité de la propriétaire Jennifer. L'atmosphère de la maison qui nous a permis de passer un moment chaleureux entre amis et en famille...

Wir (4 Erwachsene und 4 Kinder) haben eine Woche hier verbracht und unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Das Haus bietet viel Platz und ist sehr schön und ansprechend renoviert und eingerichtet. Die Küche ist gross und gut ausgestattet und gefreut haben wir uns über den Wein und das sehr leckere Olivenöl...praktisch wäre es aber, wenn die Grundausstattung wie etwa Salz, Pfeffer, Geschirrtabs und Abfallsäcke noch ein bisschen besser wäre. Auch gemütlich draussen zu sitzen haben wir sehr genossen und der grosse Olivenhain rund ums Haus ist sehr schön. Da das Haus mitten im Olivenhain und nur durch einen Fussweg oder einen steilen Schotterweg erreichbar ist (wohl Allrad zu empfehlen) muss man das Gepäck ein Stück weit tragen, hat uns aber nicht im geringsten gestört. Auch um nach Chiavari zu gelangen muss man ca. 10 min bergab (und zurück bergauf) gehen, aber autofrei und angenehm. Chiavari selbst ist eine lebendige Stadt die viel zu bieten hat, die weiteren touristischen Highlights Liguriens sind bequem auch mit dem Zug zu erreichen. Alles in Allem ein toller Aufenthalt wo wir uns sehr wohlgefühlt haben. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Jennifer was fantastic, so quick to response to every question/issue.

I had such a lovely time in Casa Bianca with my family this summer: Jennifer is a super host and she deserves more and more guests. If you need a break from the city, this accomodation is perfect and it's just 10 min walk from the centre of the town. Thanks again Jennifer, for the kindness and for the wine and oil!

Sehr schönes idyllisches Haus. Steht mitten im Olivenwald. Trotzdem nah an Stadtzentrum. Wir waren zwei Familien mit je zwei Kindern, es hat perfekt gepasst. Absolut empfehlenswert. Vielen Dank Jennifer!

Het is is een geweldig en heerlijk huis op een toplocatie. De wandeling van een kwartier naar het stadje en het strand is een welkome toevoeging. Een enorme aanrader! En Jennifer is de liefste gastvrouw die je je kan voorstellen.

The House and surroundings are beautiful and Well kept in a very charming style. We loved to have breakfast on the terrasse that overlooked the olive grove. We felt close to the Charming Chiavari and close to the Hills and Beach at the same time. The host is a kind and Sweet person who invited us for a drink under her 120 year Old avocado tree.

Mit zwei Familien und sieben Personen haben wir eine schöne Woche genossen. Das Haus ist sehr geräumig und die Lage im weitläufigen Grundstück mit unzähligen Olivenbäumen ist fantastisch. Zum Strand sind es zu Fuß etwa 25 min, es gibt einen schönen Fußweg. Sehr nette Vermieterin, die uns einige Infos zu ihren Oliven und zu ihrem - sehr leckeren - Wein gegeben hat. Danke an Jennifer für diese tolle Woche!

Nous avons passé un formidable séjour à la casa Bianca, entouré de nature. Le jardin a été un super terrain de jeu pour les enfants ainsi qu’un excellent poste d’observation des animaux (rapaces, geais, insectes en tout genre, et même biche!!), et le spectacle des lucioles la nuit était fantastique. La localisation est vraiment top, à 15min de sestri levante, 35 min en train des cinq terres et 35 min de Portofino. Gêne et son aquarium sont à 40 min environ. Enfin, l’accueil chaleureux et la disponibilité de Jennifer sont très appréciables. Nous recommandons+++!!

Casa Bianca e' una bella casa, all interno di una vasta proprietà composta da oliveto e vigna. Molto tranquilla e immersa nel verde. Si può raggiungere facilmente il centro città a piedi come anche il mare. La strada d'accesso alla casa e' particolarmente ripida, ci vuole un po di esperienza. La casa e' grande e spaziosa, la pulizia e manutenzione generale lasciano un po a desiderare.

just as described only better... a genuine Italy/Liguria experience away from the madding crowd.

Dear Jennifer and Mauro, as we mentioned to you in between, we really enjoyed our stay in your house very, very much! The house was just perfect and very comfortable. We especially enjoyed the peace and quiet and the feeling of pure nature! We didn't even feel like going to the beach or exploring the neighbourhood much as it was so nice in the garden. Our boys enjoyed the grounds even more than the rest of us. It was very hard to leave, but we have very nice memories. We also thank you for your hospitality. You were very kind and helpful with all the information you gave us at our arrival. Overall highly recommendable!!!! Birgit with Heinz, Emma, Michael, Lena and Julian

Thoroughly enjoyed my time at Casa Bianca. It is the ideal setting. . .in a peaceful area where you can enjoy the birds and church bells, but a mere 15 minute walk to the lovely town of Chiavari, and five minutes more to the train station where you can go anywhere you'd like. My favorite was the outdoor patio. I enjoyed both my morning coffee and my afternoon wine out there. Amazing views. Upstairs you'll find three bedrooms and two baths (one more bedroom and bath downstairs. . .a private suite!). Spacious and comfortable. There's a patio off two of the bedrooms (doors from the bedrooms open out to the upstairs patio). I often thought that if I was into yoga, this would be the perfect place for it! Large, private, peaceful, and excellent light in the morning. Really nice. The downstairs is just lovely. I loved the openness and the wonderful windows. Lovely light. Comfortable. The town has a wonderful market, and I loved going down and buying whatever, then coming home and cooking something amazing. (I'm not the best cook, but in Italy, everything tastes better!) The restaurants in town are also great. And great shopping. I have to admit, Chiavari was nicer than I expected. Lovely little town. Friendly people. Jennifer was out of town while I was here, but Mauro was welcoming and very helpful. I appreciated the introduction to the area and the warm hospitality. I will miss this lovely home and hope to return. Highly recommend.

This house is in a beautiful setting, close enough to town to walk but in a quiet rural setting. The house is lovingly restored to have all the modern amenities. The rooms are bright, clean and comfortable. Our host could not have been more accommodating to any of our needs and providing us with olive oil and wine. He truly cares for his family's property. We highly recommend this property. There is so much to do locally with easy access by car and train.

We can highly recommend this spacious and newly renovated villa. Beautiful setting, three bathrooms, quiet. And lovely hosts. Perfect for three couples or a big family. Great spot for day trips in the area. We went on amazing hikes both south and north of Chiavari, plan to come back. Annelie & Mats, Stockholm, Sweden

Our party of six, two couples, a father and his 13 yo daughter, had a delightful and relaxing week at Casa Bianca. Unfortunately the week went too fast. The property was everything we could hope for except for the drive to it from the gate onwards so we just parked at the gate and walked along the well trodden and well lit path to the rental. The house is spacious and had most everything that we needed. Mauro and Jennifer were kind enough to provide us with wine and olive oil from the estate. Mauro was also kind enough to share the bounty of the property with us too and to provide help and advice whenever we needed it. The rooms are large and fairly well lit with lots of windows. I was pleased with the bedside lamps that I don't always find in the rentals I have secured in my travels. The beds were a little hard but that is common in Italy. The linens were of nice quality. The washer and dryer, yes, I said dryer, worked perfectly. The showers/bathtubs provided a lovely amount of hot water with an adequate spray. We had some minor issues with the wifi but it mostly worked well. Chiavari is a lovely village that I would love to return to time and time again. I love its proximity to popular tourist sites. I also like the shopping, restaurants, market, the train station and the lovely beaches. What I love most about Chiavari is how it is a real working town and is not over run with touristy sites. Be sure to purchase some gelato at Cremeria Spinola. Yum! We love the property and this is the second time that we have rented from Mauro and Jennifer. The first time, two years ago, we rented Casa Bosco and we loved it too. I wouldn't hesitate to rent either of these properties again or to recommend them to my friends.

Our group of 6 have only positive things to say about the property and the rental experience. My only gripe is that the weather did not cooperate and was unseasonably cool and wet and that is obviously outside the control of the owners. The house itself is nicely renovated and has a light open ambiance and several outdoor sitting or dining areas for relaxing. What makes the experience remarkable is the beautiful (and large) olive grove and vineyard that the house sits in the middle of giving a real sense of privacy and security. As the whole property is fenced this proved an ideal setting for walking with our dog. There are also the extra amenities such as satellite TV, wireless internet for those who need to stay connected. The walk from the property down into Chiavari is relatively short (about 10 minutes) and pleasant. It is up hill going back, of course, but my parents who are well into their 70's did not have trouble with this. If you are looking for a nice quiet and relaxing place to get away that has convenient access to the Ligurian coast from the Cinque Terre to Portofino. This is a nice option.

From the moment you awake to the sounds of roosters crowing and birds chirping, until you finish your evening sitting in the yard, or by the fireplace you will love this villa. When we first arrived, greeted by the courteous and gracious host as we walked from the entry gate to the front door I felt as though I was arriving home after a long absense. We arrived at the villa by cab from the train station and I felt a bit daunted by the climb we would have from town if we chose to walk. But it was not as difficult as I imagined and was a charming and relaxing way to end our days of exploring the Ligurian coast. It was also a great way to walk off the exquisite focaccia bread that you really must enjoy every afternoon, as it comes out fresh in every bakery. A special treat on the walk back to the villa was to reach the castle tower as the church bells rang, and we could view the sun beginning to set in the sea. The owners of the villa have really put a lot of effort into making this home as comfortable as possible. Arriving to find a basket of wine, olive oil and balsamic vinegar, all made by the property owners made us feel as though we were welcomed by family. You will not be disappointed if you choose to stay at this property! I will never forget our stay at Casa Bianca.

Lage und Ausstattung entsprechen 100% der Beschreibung und den Fotos. Sehr ruhig und sehr schön. Das Haus war sehr sauber und gepflegt. Die Besitzer sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.Dieses Haus würden wir Freunden jederzeit empfehlen. Chiavari ist in 15 min zu Fuß zu erreichen. Ein sehr schöner Ort. Der Markt am Freitag ist empfehlenswert. Es gibt viele gute Restaurants, Bäckereien, Geschäfte..... Ausflüge nach Genua und Cinque Terre sind mit dem Zug sehr gut zu machen. Die Tickets sind echt billig. Wir waren nicht das letzte mal dort.
