Warme toskanische Schlosswohnung

Nous avons passé un séjour reposant dans ce petit village retiré, loin de la cohue touristique

Nous avons toutefois pu facilement nous rendre aux Cinqueterrre (très tôt le matin) mais aussi à Lucca et Florence. Sans oublier la côte la plus proche, à 1/2 heure (Lérici)

Ne pas manquer non plus le merveilleux site de Portovenere

La maison est bien agencée et nous a permis d'avoir un peu de frais la nuit mais aussi une terrasse très bien exposée et très appréciable

Casa pulita, ben tenuta, c'è tutto il necessario. Contesto caratteristico e molto rilassante. Terrazzo molto bello e spazioso con vista notevole. La Sig.ra che ci ha accolto è stata molto gentile e ci ha dato tutte le indicazioni necessarie. La posizione è favorevole sia per visitare le cinque terre e la versilia, sia per passeggiate in montagna o visita alle terme. Consigliato.

We enjoyed our 5-night stay at this 2-bedroom property in the quiet charming small Medieval village of Soliera. The village is not a tourist town but an authentic little Italian village with cobblestone lanes and friendly people. The house is party of a 13th century castle, is comfortably furnished and has a great patio built atop a turret, that looks out at the lush green hills and houses of area in the foreground, and the Italian Alps in the background. WE took our meals at the dining table out there when home. There were three of us, girl friends in our 60s. We were there in mid-September and the weather was perfect. Not far from La Spezia, where you can catch a train to the 5 villages of beautiful Cinque Terra on the Ligurian Coast.

This place was wonderful, particularly if you want to relax and not be in a tourist rat race to see everything in Italy. This place is a bit off the tourist route, not many locals spoke English even though we easily got by with what little we know. The house is very comfy and the view out the windows and on the balcony is spectacular. We found we had no need to go anywhere but back and forth to the kitchen to refill our wine glasses and get more cheese! The local village (Soliera / Rometta) was very picturesque, very old and just like a postcard. The local hills are filled with little mom and pop restaurants that served delicious food every bit as good as the more fancy (and expensive) restaurants in town. Just taking a evening drive into the surrounding hills was a joy, but be warned, the roads are very narrow, steep and windy. Aulla is about 6-7 miles away and it had every amenity we could want and then some, but the local stores had a great supply of the essentials...wine , cheese, crackers salami, and great fresh bread! The kitchen is well equipped to cook up a storm, the neighbors were friendly and helpful. It was a easy one hour train trip to Cinque Terra or into the local mountains. The train station is about 1/2 mile away with free parking. Bring a good book(s) and relax, the place is divine,..... and don't miss a sunset on the balcony!

We hebben 2 heerlijke weken gehad in dit zeer compleet ingerichte huis dat is gelegen in een kasteel muur. Een heerlijk groot terras aan de voorzijde met een geweldig uitzicht. Vanuit Soliera is de omgeving perfect te verkennen, alles is op relatief korte afstand te bereiken. Zwemmen is ook mogelijk in een nabij gelegen riviertje of een betaald zwembad een paar minuten verderop. In het dorpje zelf kun je 's morgens brood kopen, alles op loop afstand. Bij aankomst werden we vriendelijk ontvangen door Mirjam die reeds een drankje en een snack had klaar staan voor ons! Zeker voor herhaling vatbaar, een echte aanrader!!!
