About this property

Beautifully restored hay-barn with splendid views, set amongst olive groves and 7 km from the sea. Sarzana

This excellent cottage on the hills of the nearby historic town of Sarzana, surrounded by centuries-old olive trees, boasts an extremely calm and geographically ideal situation and is furnished with every comfort, free WiFi included. It is close by the sea, both that of the beaches of Marinella and Versilia and of the fishing villages of Lerici, Portovenere and the idyllic Cinque Terre, and not forgetting crystalline waters of the celebrated Golfo dei Poeti (Golf of the Poets). The view from the cottage opens up over the valley of the River Magra as far as the sea. The cottage enjoys a special position which allow excursions that will satisfy all manner of interests, from the not-to-be missed marble quarries of Carrara to the archaeological area of the ancient Luni, from boat outings to the Cinque Terre to the exploration of the numerous medieval villages and hamlets that climb the surrounding hills, some of which are endowed with splendid castles that can be visited (for example Castle Malaspina di Fosdinovo or Fortezza Castracani di Sarzana). For those who are passionate about mountains there is the possibility to go trekking, with routes of various levels of difficulty, along the paths of the Alpi Apuane, or experience the thrill of an alpine walk around dolomite rock directly overlooking the Mare Terreno (Tyrrhenian Sea). Not to be missed is the historical centre of Sarzana, which is also walking distance away, with its antique stores, noble residences, ancient churches and all types of excellent typical restaurants.

Business trip gem
lovely well positioned property in the hills above Sarzana with great Autostrada and regional highway access. All mod cons on site, located in a quiet neighbourhood with wonderful views out to the ocean and scenic walking opportunities. I was in the area on business during the winter, with sketchy weather, but the house was more than comfortable to come back to each day. Annalisa was very kind and helpful in every respect especially when it came to a parking issue with my large vehicle. I highly recommend the property and look forward to arranging a stay in the near future.

Nice place to rest
The house is lovely, settled in a garden filled with olive trees and offering the possibility to rest after visiting the countryside, all the more that the host agreed to switch OFF his wifi during night time to allow us to have a better sleep. There is also a fireplace in the living room - which we didn't use after all as the weather was mild, but certainly pleasant in other circumstances.

Beautiful location; even better hospitality
We loved our stay at the beautifully converted hay barn. It was so spacious and clean and really felt comfortable and secluded. Our hosts were so friendly and generous, giving us a plate of delicious figs directly from their trees. They even offered us a ride from the train station which we could not accept, but did then retrieve us from downtown Sarzana late at night when we got stranded without a taxi. We are so grateful for their excellent hospitality.

Un lieu calme et magnifique, un accueil adorable !
Nous avons passé pour la deuxième fois un séjour très agréable. Le logement est simple, mais pratique et très agréable au milieu des oliviers. C’est un lieu très calme et reposant pour se ressourcer. Proche de la mer et de toutes les randonnées des Cinque Terre. Et surtout, je dois parler de l’accueil d’Anna Lisa. Encore une fois nous avons eu un accueil très gentil, discret et très arrangeant. Merci Anna Lisa !

Why they chose this property

The property has been in my family for generations. It is a large piece of hilly land formed by a large olive grove and acres of woodland. On the property there are two buildings: the big house, where once lived the family of sharecroppers, and the barn, which housed hay and animals. When, in the 90s, it has become my property, I started to restore the olive grove and restore the barn, which, for years, became our holiday home. Later, when we have restored the big house, the one where we still live, the barn has become a holiday home for our guests, hoping that they will spend pleasant and serene time, in it, as it happened to us.
