Beautiful Village in the Mountains

We spent 5 nights in Castellvechio and IT was really nice there....the house, the tiny Village, the Hills around and of course the two terrazes. Once WE had a Barbecue in the upper terraze and everything we needed was even there. The communication with Diego and Eugenio was really good and WE recommend this House for nice Holidays in a beautiful and quiet Landscape.

Some places you just can't miss it

Wat a beautiful place to be and spend your holiday if you like to go back in time. Medieval village, lovely views and great people. The house has everything you need, beautiful teracce with a view at the mountains. You could sit there for ever. Even the fact that there is no TV didn't bother us. We had a great time and new experience.

Verry restfull break

A little house out of former centuries in a quite lovely old village. It is placed in the mountains approx. 16 km fare from the Mediterranean see. We have used several times the opportunities for do trekking. In the house itself you find everything you need for daily life. For sure impressive is the view from the terrace and the silence you can enjoy in the area. Check in, check out was happend without issue, Diego and Eugenio are friendly and helpfull.

A Week in the ligurian hills

We had a wonderful time at the medieval house in Castelvecchio dRB. The place is located at a lovely small village, wich has two restaurants and a small grocery for daily needs. The sorrunding Area invites you to stroll around, enjoy the quiet Nature or go for a hike. If you drive by Car 1/2h you get to various Beaches and larger Cites worth a visit. At the Place itself you you will find a well equipped Kitchen to serve even bigger Groups, our Highlight was the Stoneoven for preparing Pizza. You can enjoy the panoramic view via two terraces, and take a refreshing shower on the upper one. We had the luck to see a deer family right next to the house, they were around for a few nights. If you are into cooking and nature you will definitely like it here, just mind your head due to the age of the Village, some Doors are low. Thanks to Eugenio (and Federike) for the kind hospitality and fluid communication at all times!

A very special place - and super hosts!

We had a fantastic stay in this unique accommodation. Diego and Federica welcomed us at the parking lot outside the old village and helped us transporting our (large!) luggage to the house. The old stone house has been restored in a very charming way, which has preserved the uniqueness of the place, while at the same time the house appears newly renovated and completely up-to-date. The property is in every way very well furnished and well equipped. On top of all this, the house has the most amazing terrace with views of the castle, the mountains and the sunset! As well as an additional large 360 degree roof terrace. On departure day, we were picked up at the house together with our luggage and driven to our car, which was parked outside the small village. What an extraordinary service! Diego and Federica were very friendly, humorous and easy to communicate with. They told us about the history of the house, and were in every way very helpful and informative during the entire stay. We really enjoyed this week and would love to come back another year!

Wir waren zu Viert in diesem außergewöhnlichen Haus für 1 Woche zu Gast und haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Es war ein Erlebnis der besonderen Art- ein Dorf, entgegen aller modernen Auffassungen, das Haus-wie andere auch, darin „eingebettet“. Weg vom informationsüberströmten Alltag! Für Bikers scheint es eine besondere Gegend zu sein, wir sind sehr vielen begegnet. Zum Strand des Mittelmeers in Albenga sind es ca 15 km.

Ein spezielles Haus mit super Host

Man spürt das Alter und die Geschichte des Ortes und des Hauses in jedem Stein. Man fühlt sich wie zurückversetzt in die längst vergangene Zeit. Das ist es, was diesen Ort so besonders macht. Die Highlights des Hauses sind die Dachterrasse mit dem tollen Ausblick und der Ofen mit offenem Feuer in der Küche. Unser Gastgeber hat uns herzlich empfangen und war super bemüht uns den Aufenthalt so angenehm wie möglich zu machen!

Zwischen Bergen und Meer

Es ist ein sehr schönes Haus, in einem mittelalterlichen Dorf in dem man sich in die Vergangenheit zurück versetzt fühlte. Das Haus war sauber und hatte bis auf eine Knoblauchpresse alles was man brauchte. Das mit dem Knoblauch hat dann der Ehemann erledigt. Der Blick von den Terrassen war traumhaft. Die Eigentümer waren immer ansprechbar und stets hilfsbereit. Wir können das Haus an Menschen empfehlen, die Ruhe und Entspannung suchen. Trotzdem sollte man nicht vergessen, in den Bergen geht es immer entweder hoch oder runter, das haben wir schon bei unseren vielen Touren gespürt. Den Grill und den Pizzaofen haben wir oft genutzt. Es waren tolle 14 Tage und wir kommen wieder.

Sfeervol dorpshuis met fantastisch uitzicht

Eugenio is een fijne en betrouwbare verhuurder, alles was prima en met aandacht geregeld. Koffers etc. worden naar het huis gebracht. De woning is zoals het er op de foto's uitziet: mooi, authentiek appartement met balkon en terras met beide een fantastisch, panoramisch uitzicht. Alles aanwezig wat je nodig hebt. Bedenk wel dat het appartement niet met de auto te bereiken is en de straten erg steil zijn. Drie eetgelegenheden op loopafstand. Ook voor het appartement zelf moet je goed ter been zijn vanwege de vele trappetjes.

Gemütliches Haus mit schöner Aussicht

Sehr gemütliches Haus mit schöner Aussicht auf die Berge. Vom Feuerholz bis zum Willkommenswein ist alles da, was man für einen entspannten Aufenthalt braucht. Die Kletterspots vom Val Pennavaire sind schnell zu erreichen und zu Wanderungen kann man gut direkt vom Haus aus starten. Kleiner Tipp: In den ersten Tagen auf den Monte Alpe (1056m) gehen und sich den Rest des Urlaubs beim Blick auf den Berg freuen, dass man da oben war. Die Vermieter sind sehr nett und hilfbereit.
