Owner info
Year Purchased: 2007
About the owner: We are a family of travelers. We have traveled on 6 continents, and still travel whenever we can. Our primary home is near Seattle, but the place we really love to be is in our home in Prota. We have both moved beyond our previous occupations of oceanography and law to become health coaches, helping people with weight-related health issues lose their weight and then develop habits that lead to optimal health. Whenever we travel to Italy our dog always travels with us. Whenever her university schedule permits, our daughter does as well. They both love Prota.
Why the Owner Chose Comano:
We fell in love with this part of Italy in 1983 when we were working at a marine laboratory near Lerici. Over the years we kept coming back to visit until finally in 2007 we purchased our own home in Prota.
We bought it because it was close to Lerici, a wonderful beach town that we still love. We have been surprised by how much we prefer to stay in the little hill village and avoid the tourist bustle of the beach. But it's still nice to know it's there if you need your beach fix.
The Unique Benefits at this Farmhouse:
The primary benefit of staying at Casa di Beppino is the opportunity to be a part of Italian small village life, if only for a while. The people are delightful and giving far beyond what most of us experience at home.
Prota is nicely situated to permit explorations of Italian culture from the rustic to the most sophisticated. The cultural centers of Florence, Parma, Pisa, Lucca and Genova are all 1 to 2 hours away. The beach towns of Lerici, Viareggio, Forte dei Marmi and the Cinqueterre are all 30 minutes to an hour away.
A multitude of quaint hill towns are close enough to explore easily in a half a day.
Just outside you door are hiking trails to explore the nature preserve. Or like us you may want to walk your dog down the hill to Galletti's in Crespiano, have a cappuccino and read the newspaper (or at least look at the pictures) before taking the old trail back up the hill.
