Thank you, Julia, for your detailed review of La NiCChia. We appreciate your feedback, which allows me to address some points that would benefit our future guests. So, I'll go into detail too. It's crucial to reiterate that the rental rate should not be combined with the Vrbo fee, which could lead to confusion. If you talk to your host, please consider the rental amount without the platform's fees! We often change the house equipment. The pots (from Ikea 365inox steel) and pans (Linea Kasanova) mentioned were last year. A couple in Teflon had traces of limescale. I'm sorry about that; daily water boiling is the cause. Unfortunately, the dishwasher does not remove them. Just a few drops of vinegar, as our grandmothers recommended. We do not know how to reply about the knives (Rostfrei) but thank you. Villa la NiCChia is part of the old family property; the castle and two other country houses compose a true little Borgo that served the castle in the past. You can learn more on the website's first description page and later in the rental agreement, just as you can learn about the private destination on the top floor. The two things can be read positively: on one side, the unique charm of a private aristocratic context, shared by few; on the other, the priceless feeling of a sense of lightness knowing that there is someone – the owner, not an agency - who takes immediately care of every annoyance that a house usually, but not always!!, could afflict who stay (irrigation system, appliances, lack of power or water, trouble with WIFI, TV, Air. Co heating, pool…) or assistance with any information about the area, restaurants, beaches, and locations to visit… as our guests know! Since your comfort is our top priority until possible, you can (of course) enter the property through the lighted olive-treed path whenever you need to. Once you've unloaded your belongings, we kindly ask the "driver" to park in an area just outside the gate. Our conscious green choice is a testament to our commitment to preserving the aesthetic of our surroundings. We believe that this effort enhances the overall experience for our guests, demonstrating our care and dedication to your stay.

Thank you so much, Larry, for choosing our Villa La NiCChia and for leaving us such a generous review. We're delighted that you had a pleasant stay and appreciated many aspects of our property. We have noted your comments about the proximity of other homes. As you rightly mentioned, information about the different units and the property's layout is fully disclosed in the listing description, precisely to ensure maximum transparency for our guests. We appreciate your constructive feedback and will consider it as we continue to evaluate how to enhance the visual presentation of the listing. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future!

Thank you, Sabine, for taking the time to review our house, which is exactly 5.5 km from the noisy center of Alassio. For our future guests, I want to point out that the provincial road goes up for 4 and a half km and has a certain number of curves but is two lanes. In short, it is a "normal" road for us Ligurians squeezed between the sea, hills, and mountains. We even have the Alps! The last kilometer is the modern version of what was a mule track to reach the Castle of Vegliasco and its Borgo, whose owner (our great-grandfather) wanted to make it accessible to everyone. The Municipality later took care of asphalting it. It is narrow, and only two small cars can pass in both directions. Even if we wanted to, it is impossible to turn it into a highway, and in any case, you must always drive sober and concentrated, whatever the road. The Vegliasco Region's fantastic view requires patience and a 15-minute drive (20 for the less experienced and first-timers). Regarding the "Locanda della Torre Antica," 350 meters above our property, it has no longer been an event location for many years but a beautiful, excellent, and refined restaurant with no live music or disco. The Internet still reports their activity in Vegliasco, but that is in the past. The music you heard comes from the disco La Suerte in Laigueglia, which, during the Ferragosto period, extended (illegally) the times of disco music. Sometimes, it can happen that, due to the sea wind, the notes can reach the hill, but it is an exceptional event that perhaps only you (neither we nor the other guests who are still here have heard anything) have had the misfortune to experience and that we cannot predict in any way. This privileged place offers quiet (even in the evening), priceless views, and all the well-being that the hundreds of trees surrounding it can give, 15/20 minutes from the center of the Alassio resort. It is precisely like a refuge at the top of the ski slopes in your beautiful mountains!
