Casa Luigia Hillside Getaway

Casa Luigia apartment is situated in the small picturesque hill-side village of Tessi, 5km from the beautiful sea side village of Moneglia (approx. 10-15 mins drive) which is in the heartland of the Italian Riviera. The indipendent apartment is located on the ground floor of a 2-floor house and is surrounded by a big garden, with lush vegetation and olive trees, where you could relax while admiring the surrounding forested mountains from one side and the sea in the distance on the other side. Casa Luigia is an oasis of peace that perfectly combines the sea and the mountains. It is recommended for people who love tranquility and nature.

Simply yet tastefully decorated, the apartment maintains the old charm of a traditional countryside home found in the Italian Riviera, in combination with modern comfort. The 40sqm apartment consists of a fully equipped kitchen - with microwave, fridge, cooker with oven, washing machine, kettle and toaster-, one open-plan living room/bedroom with a double bed and a dining table, a small room with 2 bunk beds, a small bathroom - with shower and toilet with spray hose. Please note that there is no door separating the two rooms so the space may suit better for a family or couples. Free Wifi available.

There is private parking inside the property. Moreover the house can also be reached by public transport (the bus stop is in front of the house with about 8-10 bus routes passing by per day in the summer).

The nearest center is the charming village of Moneglia (10 mins drive), a traditional colorful ligurian village with narrow alleys (called carrugi) where you could relax at the beach and find all the services you may need (supermarkets, shops, coffee shops and restaurants). Alternatively, the biggest town of Sestri Levante can be reached though the Aurelia mountain road and is approximately 20 min drive away.

Casa Luigia is an excellent yet quiet off-the-beaten accommodation that guests could use as their base to explore the much more touristic and busy sights of the Italian Riviera, including the world known 5 Terre, Santa Margherita/Portofino, Camogli/San Fruttuoso.
