Villa Bianca is located high above the Mediterranean, with extraordinary views in three directions. One can pass the entire day watching the ships, birds, and water, admiring Portofino and Santa Margherita Ligure, or catching a glimpse of Corsica. Because the house is at the end of a point, it’s also quiet. The gardens are peaceful and amazingly fragrant.
The house itself is charming, with large rooms and fantastic frescoes on every ceiling. We slept on antique beds with new mattresses and hand ironed, lace trimmed linen sheets. The kitchen had everything we needed. We loved the marble sink and eating breakfast at the marble table. Lunch was al fresco and dinner in the grand dining room with sea views.
The icing on the cake were our hosts, Silvia and Paulo. They were kind to us in countless ways. The most memorable was when I dropped my husband’s two week old phone off the terrace and down the cliff towards the sea. Silvia brought in a mountain climber who retrieved the phone!
We also enjoyed the generosity of the family who owns the store and bar just down the street. Excellent wine choices, fine produce and delicious baked good are all offered. The apero is delicious too!
