About this property

"Il Pettirosso"- house in the greenery near Lerici and Cinque Terre

If you are looking for a place that is near enough to town yet feels like you are miles away - this is a perfect place for you!

The apartment that we suggest you is arranged like this: it is 40sqm distributed in one floor and divided in one bedroom, a very bright living room with a kitchen where there is also a sofa bed that guarantees two other places to sleep. The apartment is structurally attached to the house where I live with my loving girlfriend Egle, but besides that it is completely independent: you would have not only your private parking space, but also a complete private entrance, autonomy and a wonderful terrace with its stunning views to the antique valley surrounded by vineyards and olives. The whole house is surrounded by the greenery which is 1 hectare of terrain of our property where we grow olives, fruit trees and saffron, you would certainly be able to freely walk around and enjoy it. For that you could enjoy our common green space (used only by travelers of our other two properties) where there are some tables for you to eat, some beach chairs for sunbathing and pergola to stay in the shadow and simply enjoy the view to the Apuan Alps. This space can be used also in the evening as there is also a lighting system. In such natural context there are certainly some animals around that we have - a few cats, one dog and chickens.
Having an independent apartment you will have a maximum autonomy, but also you could always count on us at any time while needing something.
The arrival and the departure will be managed by me or my companion unless some impossible situations.

We've been renting other house for a while too, so for the reviews you can look here --> https://www.homeaway.com/vacation-rental/p1788292 As the two places are at the same spot, there is a possibility for bigger groups to rent them both if it will be available at the same time.

The house is situated in a strategically good location where you can easily reach many famous cities.The apartment is found 950m away from a medieval village of Arcola, 5km from the entrance of a highway, 6km from the beaches of Lerici, 18km from the Natural Park of Cinque Terre, 18 km from Carrara's marble caves on the Apuan Alps, 36 km from Forte dei Marmi and its beaches, 44km away from Versilia and 65 km from Lucca and Pisa.
The apartment is found on the private street and there is no direct public transport to the house, it goes only to the city of Arcola, so we recommend you having your own car that will help you to move around more easier.
As the house is up in the valley it is reached by an asphalted street that is not that wide.

Me and my companion have decided to make this apartment available (recently renewed) by giving an opportunity for those who travel to visit and experience new places of a charming, beautiful and full of culture Liguria. The house is perfect because you are near the city and yet at the same time it feels like you are far away and that lets you enjoy the tranquility being in the natural and healthy context.

It is a little out of the way, but this adds to the charm. The hosts were very helpful providing information on the area and map links. The stay was beautiful.

Am Ende der Straße
Das Haus von Elias liegt am Ende einer schmalen, teilweise etwas steilen Straße. In etwas mehr als 5 Minuten ist ist man mit dem Auto in der Altstadt von Arcola, die ein wunderbares Labyrint aus alten Gassen und Häusern am Berg ist (zu Fuß haben wir knapp 15 Minuten gebraucht). Das Haus hat fast alles, was man für einen Ferienaufenthalt braucht. Elias und seine Familie sind hilfsbereit und per WhatsApp gut zu erreichen. Als wir nach einem zweiten Topf gefragt habe, hat Elias ihn am Abend gleich vorbei gebracht. Die Terasse geht nach Westen, sodass wir beim Abendessen einen wunderbaren Sonnenuntergang als Kulisse hatten. Leider liegt die im Inserat abgebildete Tischgruppe unter Weinranken auf der anderen Straßenseite, sodass wir diesen Platz nicht genutzt haben, weil es auch kein Tablett gab, um bequem Geschirr herüber zu tragen. Von dem beschriebenen Grundstück mit Obst- und Olivenbäumen haben wir nicht viel entdecken können, weil das Grundstück steil abfällt und teilweise nicht begehbar war und uns auch nicht gezeigt wurde, wo wir hätten gehen können. Das war sehr schade.

Très bon séjour
Merci à Egle et Elias pour leur accueil. Nos hôtes sont venus nous chercher dans le village pour que nous ne nous perdions pas. Ils vivent juste à côté mais sont dune discrétion remarquable. Leur propriété est un ecrin de verdure,plein d'arbres fruitiers et de bonnes odeurs. Le logement était très bien pour nous trois, avec une jolie terrasse. Un calme bienvenu après la foule éprouvante des Cinque Terre. A bientôt !

Why they chose this property

I have decided to make this apartment available (recently renewed) by giving an opportunity for those who travel to visit and experience new places of a charming, rich with beauty and culture Liguria. The house is perfect because it is near the city and yet at the same time it feels like you are far away and that lets you enjoy the tranquility being in the natural and healthy context, far away from city noises.

What makes this property unique

ARCOLA AND ITS MUNICIPALITY:
Arcola is a small, charming town perched on top of the hills with its medieval cobbled streets, offering stunning panoramas of the Apuane Alps and you can reach it in only 10 minutes walking by foot from the house (3 minutes in a car). In the territory around Arcola you can find many activities that suits you: sampling local wines and tasty local dishes, taking walks through the hills and enjoy spectacular views, it's suitable also for mountain bike lovers and there are charming trails for runners too.
Fans of trekking or kayaking, can hike on our Apuan Alps (go to the website www. Alpiapuane. Com) as the territory around Arcola is also a part of the Regional Park of Montemarcello-Magra and offers variety of spectacular hiking trails to explore both suitable for experienced hikers as well as families.
SEA AND BEACHES:
The first nearest beautiful beach is just 6km away from the house (Baia Blu Lerici) and it's the same distance to the port from where ferries leave for 5 Terre, Porto Venere and Palmaria Island.
TRAIN CONNECTIONS
Arcola is a few km away from the main railway station of La Spezia Centrale and Sarzana that are the best connections to the "Parco Nazionale delle Cinque Terre" (easily reachable by ferry from Lerici and La Spezia).
I suggest to see also wonderful small fishing villages such as Portovenere, Lerici, San Terenzo, Tellaro, Bocca di Magra that are close too.
THE NIGHT:
For those who want to experience nightlife go to the Versilia that is famous for its night bars and it's fast and easy to reach thanks to the entrance of Sarzana A12 highway which is only 5 km away.
HISTORY AND CULTURE:
It is worth seeing Sarzana, Fosdinovo, Castelnuovo Magra.
The train station of Sarzana (Stazione FS Sarzana) is well connected with the famous touristic Tuscan cities as Pisa (40 minutes by train), LUCCA (about 30-40 minutes), Florence (1 hour and 30 minutes).
