About this property

Il Pettirosso-Your hillside base for Cinque Terre, Lerici & Tuscany-with parking

Escape the crowds. Keep everything within reach.

Perched on a peaceful hillside above Arcola, Il Pettirosso is a freshly renovated countryside retreat perfectly positioned between three of Liguria's greatest treasures: the iconic Cinque Terre, the dreamy Gulf of Poets, and the hills of northern Tuscany.

While the famous villages fill up with day-trippers, you'll return each evening to birdsong, mountain air, and a pergola with views across the Apuan Alps.

The space

Bright, fully independent 40 sqm apartment — your own entrance, your own terrace, complete privacy. Well-equipped kitchen, comfortable bedroom with quality linens, sofa bed for an extra guest, access to laundry room on the property, fast Wi-Fi.

Explore by car — everything is close.
A car is recommended to make the most of the area. Free private parking is included — no hunting for spaces after a long day.

15 min — Lerici beach & ferry to Cinque Terre / Portovenere
25 min — Cinque Terre National Park
25 min — Carrara marble caves & Apuan Alps
15 min — La Spezia Centrale station (trains to Cinque Terre)
up to 1h — Lucca & Pisa

Every season has its magic. Beyond summer, this corner of Liguria truly shines. September brings warm seas, empty trails, and the grape harvest in the Arcola hills. October reveals golden vineyards and truffle season in nearby Lunigiana. Spring arrives early — by May the terraces are in bloom and the Cinque Terre paths are yours alone.

Perfect for couples, two friends, or a small family with one child. Baby cot and high chair available.

Why guests love it:
★ "A welcome calm after the exhausting crowds of Cinque Terre"— Marie-Pierre Vega
★ "Peaceful, comfortable, hosts who truly care"— Famille Verdier

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).
