"We have returned from Italy, having had a moving and memorable trip, Le Moggie being the highlight. It is absolutely beautiful and serene. We were amazed and pleased by the spaciousness, the exquisite taste in the design both inside and outside, the lushness of the forest and farms and something else, hard to put into words, that reflects the beauty and balance that is Italy." Ron Veronda 2000, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007 ( For more guest comments, please see our website, link is below )
Our sixteenth century, stone villa is very privately situated in a national park on amountainside overlooking chestnut forests and distant medieval villages. "Le Moggie" is a rare place where you can find true privacy and tranquillity in an unspoiled region of northern Italy, which in 1999 received the first ever European Community award for the highest environmental quality of life in all of Europe.
Le Moggie has been completely restored and is furnished throughout with local antiques. Hiking paths and wonderful views abound near "Le Moggie", which is located on a private road. The air is refreshing and pure and a government-certified mineral water spring feeds the house. We do have dial up internet access you may use with your own laptop, but you need a phone jack port.
The medieval town of Varese Ligure, just 6 miles (10 kilometers ) from Le Moggie, is the old regional capital of Liguria and has been declared a patrimony of mankind by Unesco because of its many beautiful old buildings and squares.
Varese offers extensive shopping and banking facilities, a market, an Olympic-sized pool, and some of the best restaurants we have tried anywhere, serving Ligurian specialties such as pasta with pesto, ravioli, porcini mushrooms, game, chestnut pasta with pinoli sauce and other delicacies.
During August, Varese mounts a superb open-air opera festival in the charming square behind the town castle. In spring and fall, the nearby Vara river offers whitewater rafting and there are also many excellent riding facilities in the area.
The elegant Riviera resorts, Portofino, Lerici, the Cinque Terre and Sestri Levante, are daytrips, Sestri is just 16 miles ( 27 kilometers from Varese Ligure ) while Parma, Genoa the medieval jewel Sarzana, and Tuscany are also wonderful day trips.
